Western Szech'uan: Mupin, thickets, alt. 1300-1700 m., June, 
September and October 1908 (No. 884). 
A very distinct species apparently related to S. officinalis Linnaeus and more 
closely to the preceding species, but easily distinguished from all allied species by 
the small more or less dentate leaves, the smaller flowers and smaller fruits. Styraz 
Wilsonii is in cultivation, and three year old plants flower and fruit freely when 
hardly a foot high. It will be figured in the July number of the Botanical Magazine.
