CAPRIFOLIACEAE. — LONICERA 197 
papyracea, supra obscure viridia pilis setosis adpressis paucis conspersa, 
subtus glaucescentia et hirsuta, utrinsecus 5-6-costata; petioli sparse 
setosi, 4 mmalongi. Flores desiderantur. Baccae ovoideae, rubrae, 
sparse setosae in pedunculis 5 mm. longis setosis et sparse glandulosis 
e basi innovationum orientibus; bracteae oblongo-ovatae, acutae, 
1 em. longae, setoso-ciliatae, ceterum glabrae; calycis dentes ovati, 
inaequales, plerumque obtusi, 2-3 mm. longi, setoso-ciliati; semina 
late oblonga, 5-6 mm. longa, compressa, flavescentia, testa laevi. 
Western Szech’uan: southeast of Tachien-lu, woods, alt. 2400- 
2700 m, July 1908 (No. 902). 
Lonicera subdentata seems most nearly related to the preceding species and to 
L. scabrida Franchet, but.both these species have the branchlets furnished with 
reflexed setose hairs. Lonicera praecor Rehder, which is somewhat similar in foliage 
and in its glabrous branchlets, is easily distinguished by the winter-buds having 
several outer roundish scales and by the glabrous ovaries.

(1819). 
Western Szech'uan: Pan-lan-shan, west of Kuan Hsien, alt. 
2700-3000 m., June 24, 1908 (No. 1855); Ta-p'ao-shan, northeast of 
Tachien-lu, thickets, alt. 2700-3000 m., June 8, 1908 (No. 1853); Sung- 
pan, grass land, alt. 2700-3000 m., August 1910 (No. 4010). 
z None of these specimens represent the type of the species; No. 1855 resembles 
in the shape of the leaves, bracts and corolla L. chaetocarpa, but the leaves are 
nearly and the ovaries quite glabrous, while No. 1853 consists of two slightly differ- 
ing specimens resembling in foliage and shape of corolla somewhat L. vaccinioides 
Rehder, but the leaves, particularly on the upper surface, are sparingly hairy, the 
corolla is larger and the ovaries densely glandular in one specimen and glandular 
and setose in the other:

Western Szech'uan: Wa-shan, thickets, alt. 2400 m., July and 
October 1908 (No. 942); upland thicket around Tachien-lu, alt. 2400- 
3400 m., October 1908 (Nos. 1077, 1854); Mupin, upland thickets, 
alt. 3000 m., October 1908 (No. 1077*), thickets, alt. 2100-2500 m., 
June and October 1908 (No. 1857); upland thickets, alt. 2700 m., 
October 1910 (No. 4230); Wa-shan, cliffs, alt. 3000 m., July 1903 
(Veitch Exped. No. 3754). 
In habit and in its general appearance this species differs markedly from typical 
L. hispida Pallas, of which it has been considered a variety. It is easily ed 
by the getose and glandular ovary, the larger and wider corolla prominently saccate
