STYRACEAE. — STYRAX 291 
type); Kiangsi: Kuling, side of streams, alt. 1300 m., July 29, 1907 
(No. 1734). 
The specimen from Kiangsi apparently belongs here, though it is without flowers 
or fruits ; it bears the same large galls as are found in S. Benzoin Dryander and other 
species.

Western Hupeh: Changyang Hsien, woods, common, alt. 1300- 
2000 m., June 1907 (No. 2574; tree 6-10 m. high, flowers white); 
South Wushan, June 1900 (Veitch Exped. No. 915); without precise 
locality, A. Henry (Nos. 5676, 5977, 6895). Western Szech'uan: 
Wa-shan, thickets, alt. 2000-2700 m., June 1908 (No. 2578; tree 5-8 
m. high, flowers white); Nanch'uan, A. v. Rosthorn (No. 2078). 
No. 2578 differs from the type in the somewhat larger flowers and shorter racemes, 
also in the generally narrower leaves which are finely denticulate. 
Styrax Hemsleyanus, var. griseus Rehder, n. var. 
A typo recedit foliis subtus laxe pilis stellatis griseis facile deter- 
gendis obtectis supra sparsius pilis stellatis conspersis, petiolis 
et axibus inflorescentiae stellato-tomentosis, calyce brunneo-fusco- 
tomentoso. 
Western Hupeh: Changyang Hsien, woods, alt. 1300-2000 m., 
June 1907) No. 2574°; tree 6-10 m. high, flowers white). 
Though at first sight this form looks rather distinct, I am not able to find any 
other eharacter except the pubescence to separate it from typical S. Hemsleyanus; 
the leaves are rather large, 10-13 cm. long and 7-8.5 em. broad and only finely 
denticulate.

Western Szech’uan: Ta-hsiang-ling, Chingchi Hsien, thickets, 
alt. 1000-1300 m., May 1908 (No. 2577; bush 2-3 m., flowers white) ; 
Mupin, thickets, alt. 1000-1300 m., June 1908 (No. 2575; large bush 
3-7 m. high); Wa-shan, rare, alt. 2800 m., July 1903 (Veitch. Exped. 
No. 4065, type; bush 3 m., flowers white). 
The flowers are white according to Wilson’s notes on the labels, though in the 
dried state they have a pinkish hue which also appears in specimens of other species, 
The bright orange-yellow color of the calyx and of the winter-buds seems to be 
characteristic of this species.
