144 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
Allied to L. hispida Pallas, which differs chiefly in the larger winter-buds, in the 
absence of the glandular pubescence on the leaves, bracts and branchlets, in the 
larger corolla only sparingly hairy outside, in the filaments being longer than the 
anthers and in the pilose style. Lonicera nubigena Rehder, distributed under the 
same number, is easily distinguished by its much shorter corolla, the tube being 
only 1 em. long, the anthers not exceeding the mouth and the style only half as 
long as the tube: it is a lower and more densely branched shrub and more alpine 
in its general aspect than L. montigena.

Chili: Weichang, 1910, W. Purdom (No. 82). Shenking: no locality, June 
27, 1906, F. N. Meyer (No. 42). Corea: Quelpaert, Hallaisan, alt. 1800-2000 m., 
June and July 1907, U. Faurie (Nos. 1843, 1844). 
'The form from Corea which I recently described as L. leptantha cannot be spe- 
cifically separated from L. Tatarinovit, as a comparison with good flowering material 
recently received from Chili shows; it is hardly different enough to be separated 
as a variety. The ovaries of the species are usually two-thirds connate, occasion- 
ally only at the base, and the bractlets are connate into a cupula, not distinct, as 
stated in my Synopsis of the genus.
