ets, alt. 3000-3600 m., October 1910 (No. 4090); without locality, 
1904 (Veitch Exped. ex Hort. Veitch. No. 1718). 
Allied to Cotoneaster acuminata Lindley, which differs in the leaves being only 
sparingly appressed-pilose beneath, and in the larger, bright-red and turbinate 
fruits open at the apex. Cotoneaster bullata Bois differs in the color and shape of 
its fruits, and in its longer leaves of different texture. 
Cotoneaster obscura, var. cornifolia Rehder & Wilson, n. var. 
Frutex 3-metralis ramis validiusculis; ramuli hornotini flavido- 
strigillosi, basin versus glabrescentes, flavido-fusci, vetustiores cinereo- 
fusci v. cinerascentes. Folia elliptico-ovata v. fere rhombico-ovata, 
rarius elliptico-oblonga, interdum elliptico-obovata, plerumque mani- 
feste acuminata mucronata, basi late cuneata, 4—7 cm. longa et 2-3.5 cm. 
lata, supra obscure viridia initio sparse subaccumbenti-villosa, demum 
glabrescentia, subtus paullo pallidiora, tomento villoso flavescenti 
praesertim ad venas laxe obtecta, nervis utrinsecus 5-6 supra impressis 
subtus elevatis; petioli 3-5 mm. longi, laxe villosi. Fructus 3-4 in 
racemis laxis ramulos breves laterales terminantibus, pedicellis cum 
petiolo 1-1.5 em. longis sparsissime pilosis, turbinati, 8-10 mm. longi, 
atrorubri, glabri; pyrenae 5, triangulari-oblongo-obovoideae, 6 mm. 
longae, ventre carinatae, stylum tertiam partem infra apicem gerentes, 
dorso irregulariter leviter sulcatae, hypostylio tertiam partem dorsi 
occupante nitido flavo-brunneo glabro v. sparse villoso. 
Western Szech'uan: Tu-ti-liang mts., Lungan Fu, alt. 2600 m., 
August 1910 (No. 4543, type). 
Distinguished from the type by its much larger leaves, more deeply impressed 
above and less densely pubescent beneath, and in its larger more decidedly tur- 
binate fruit. It resembles somewhat C. foveolata Rehder & Wilson, but differs in 
its turbinate purplish-black fruits with five stones, and in its shorter, few-flowered 
racemes. 
Cotoneaster foveolata Rehder & Wilson, n. sp. 
Frutex 2-3-metralis ramis divaricatis; ramuli hornotini flavido- 
villoso-strigillosi, annotini glabri, cinereo-fusci v. flavido-cinerei v. 
fusci ut vestustiores; gemmae tomentosubaccumbenti-villoso flavescente 
obtectae. Folia decidua, elliptica v. elliptico-ovata, v. elliptico-obovata, 
rarius ovato-oblonga, breviter acuminata v. acuta, 3.5-8, plerumque 
5-6 cm. longa et 1.8-3.5, plerumque 2-3 em. lata, supra obscure viridia, 
initio sparse accumbenti-pilosa, mox glabra, subtus sparse, ad venas 
densius subaccumbenti-villosa, demum plerumque glabra v. fere 
glabra, sed interdum pilis ad costam venasque persistentibus, margine 
dense ciliolata, nervis supra impressis subtus elevatis, venularum
