The Chinese form differs from the type in the generally larger and shorter petioled 
leaves and in the more spreading corolla lobes which give the flowers a star-like 
shape. Styraxseminatum (1901) Farges, quoted by Miss Perkins (l. c.) as a synonym, 
is not a name, but signifies sowing No. 1901 collected by Farges; seminatum is 
the term employed by Vilmorin for all undetermined sowings or seed lots. 
A very distinct variety is the following: 
ME japonicus, var. calycothrix Gilg in Bot. Jahrb. XXXIV. Beibl. LXXV. 
Shantung: Lau-shan, August 1907, F. N. Meyer (No. 277). 
Differs from the type in the densely stellate-pubescent calyx and in the obovate 
leaves long-acuminate and at the base very gradually narrowed into the petiole.

1 According to a specimen of No. 422 in the Arnold Arboretum herbarium; the 
true S. serrulatum Roxburgh does not seem to occur in China at all.
