310 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
Viburnum rhytidophyllum Hemsley. See p. 110. 
Callicarpa vastifolia Diels in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 547 (1900). 
Callicarpa vastifolia, based upon branches without flowers or fruits, is nothing but 
V. rhytidophyllum. The foliage agrees exactly and even the bud of the inflorescence 
for the following year can be discerned between the terminal pair of leaves, while 
in Callicarpa the corymbs are axillary and their buds are not formed the year 
before. 
Viburnum brevipes Rehder. See p. 113. 
Descriptioni l. c. adde: Folia . . . oblongo-ovata v. rhombico- 
elliptica. . . . Corymbus 3.5-5 cm. diam., pedunculo 1-1.5 em. longo 
fasciculato-piloso insidens, radiis plerumque 5  fasciculato-pilosis, 
bracteis caducis 3-4 mm. longis extus sparse pilosis; flores breviter 
pedicellati, in radiis plerumque tertii ordinis; calyx dense fasciculato- 
pilosus, tubo oblongo-ovoideo circiter 1 mm. longo,!dentibus ovatis . 
quadrantem tubi aequantibus; corolla rotata, 4 mm. diam., alba,

longioribus; stamina corollam aequantia, antheris ovalibus, in sicco 
fusco-flavis; stylus erassus, calycis dentes superans, stigmate leviter

1907 (No. 447). 
The flowering specimens of V. brevipes had been misplaced and were found after 
the description drawn up from the fruiting specimens had been published. The 
leaves of the flowering specimen differ slightly in being generally rhombic-elliptic 
and only 4-5 cm. long, also the glands on the lower surface of the leaves are not 
2s copious. Wilson's No. 944, referred provisionally to this species, does not belong 
here, but is very near V. dilatatum Thunberg and probably referable to that species. 
I take the opportunity to add here the descriptions of two new Chinese species 
and a new variety.
