Western Szech'uan: descent of Hsao-chin Ho, north of Monkong 
Ting, alt. 2300-3000 m., June 29, 1908 (No. 3476; bush 40-120 cm., 
flowers white, pale purple without); Wa-shan, side of streams, alt. 
2000 m., July 1908 (No. 3477; bush 120 cm., flowers white, fruits dark 
red); watercourses around Tachien-lu, alt. 2300-2700 m., June 1908 
(No. 3478; bush 120-150 cm., flowers white); west and near Wên- 
ch'uan Hsien, alt. 2000—2500 m., July 1908 (No. 3479; bush 120-180 
em., flowers white, fruits dark red); without locality, July 1903 (Veitch 
Exped. No. 3719; bush 1 m., flowers white). 
The typical form has not yet been found in Szech'uan; it differs from this variety 
in its shorter triangular-ovate to lanceolate sepals, larger and usually purplish and 
glabrescent bracts and in the leaves being glaucescent on their lower surface and 
usually rounded or even subcordate at the base. The Yunnan specimens of the 
type have all the sepals very short, scarcely exceeding 1 mm., while the Himalayan 
specimens have usually at least two of the sepals elongated. 
Besides L. formosa two other species occur in Yunnan: L. glaucophylla Hooker f., 
of which I have seen Henry’s No. 9767, and L. chinensis Hemsley.
