2.5-4 mm. longi, villosi, demum glabri; stipulae lineari-lanceolatae, petiolum 
fere aequantes, utrinque plerumque dentibus 2-4 adpressis. Corymbus terminalis, 
leviter convexus v. fere planus, 2.5-3 cm. diam., axibus subangularibus villosis, brac- 
teis bracteolisque persistentibus lineari-lanceolatis plerumque pauciserratis dentibus 
ut apex glandula brunnea terminatis, inferioribus plerumque foliaceis, glabrescenti- 
bus; axes secundarii 3-1-flori; pedicelli 2-5 mm. longi; flores albi, 9-10 mm. 
diam.; calycis tubus turbinatus, 3 mm. diam., extus sparse villosus, dentes sub- 
erecti, late ovati, obtusi, glandula brunnea mucronati, rarius dentibus minutis 
paucis instructi, intus glabri, extus sparse villosi v. glabri; petala patentia, sub- 
orbicularia, plerumque leviter emarginata, 3.5 mm. diam.; stamina 20, petalis fere 
dimidio breviora; ovarium semisuperum apice dense villoso, biloculare; styli 2, con- 
nati ad medium usque villosi, staminibus paullo breviores. Fructus desiderantur. 
A very distinct species which seems nearest to Eriobotrya prionophylla Franchet. 
In general appearance it greatly differs from all other Photinias. The leaves 
particularly by their venation recall those of Eriobotrya, but are much smaller, and 
the inflorescence bears some slight resemblance to that of Raphiolepis. It may not 
belong to Photinia at all, but as long as the fruit is unknown, it may provisionally 
find its place here, as it agrees in the structure of its flower perfectly with Photinia. 
Western Szech'uan: Tung Valley, very rare, May 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 
3508). 
STRANVAESIA Lindl. 
Determined by ArrRED Reaper AND E. H. WiLsOoN. 
Stranvaesia Davidiana Decaisne in Nowv. Arch. Mus. Paris, X. 179 
(1874). 
Stranvaesia Henryi Diels in Bot. Jahrb. XX XVI. 52 (1905). 
Western Szech'uan; Pan-lan-shan, west of Kuan Hsien, cliffs, 
alt. 2300 m., June and October (No. 1064; bush 1.25-3 m. tall, flowers 
white, fruit scarlet); Mount Omei, October 1903 (Veitch Exped. 
No. 3505; bush 1-3.5 m. tall); Mount Omei, June 1904 (Veitch 
Exped. No. 4872; bush 6 m. tall). 
Number 3505 agrees exactly with Diels’ description of his S. Henryi, but with the 
several specimens before us we are unable to separate it from S. Davidiana Decaisne. 
Here also probably belongs Henry’s No. 11,325 from Yunnan, which has thinner and 
broader leaves than the type and, longer petioles.
