BERBERIDACEAE. — MAHONIA 385 
Szech’uan: woods near Chia-chu-pa, Nanch’uan, A. von Rosthorn, 1891 (No. 
1251, ex Fedde). 
I have not been able to see any specimen of this plant, but from the description 
it appears to be a well-marked species. The leaves resemble those of the following 
species, which however differs from it in the characters indicated beneath. 
15. Mahonia gracilipes Fedde in Bot. Jahrb. XXXI. 128, fig. 5 (Monog. Ma- 
honia) (1901). 
Berberis gracilipes Oliver in Hooker’s Icon. XVIII. t. 1754 (1887). 
Berberis subtriplinervis Franchet in Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris, I. 63 (1895). 
Mahonia subtriplinervis Fedde in Bot. Jahrb. XXXI. 129 (Monog. Mahonia) 
(1901). 
Szech’uan: Mount Omei, alt. 1600 m., E. Faber. Northern Yunnan: in 
woods near Tschen-fouchan, Delavay (No. 5024). i 
This species is well distinguished by its loose racemes and very long pedicels. 
16. Mahonia setosa Gagnepain in Bull. Soc. Bot. France, LV. 86 (1908). 
Yunnan: “ prés Tien-pa-téou, Oct. 1894, parmi les pierres, au bord de la rivière,” 
Delavay (No. 6830, “ fleurs jaunes, petit arbuste ’’). 
This species seems to be well distinguished by its narrow leaflets with numerous 
slender teeth. 
17. Mahonia Leveilleana Schneider n. sp. 
Frutex (v. arbuscula?). Folia 8-9-juga, ad 45 cm. longa, jugo infimo minimo 
basi petioli magnopere approximato, ima basi petioli stipulis 2 filiformibus instructa; 
foliola coriacea, supra atro-viridia, vix v. non nitentia, subtus claro-viridia, ni- 
tentia, nervis lateralibus bene evolutis, laxe reticulatis, lateralia jugorum 2 in- 
feriorum quam cetera satis minora, late rhomboidea, 3.5-5.5 cm. longa et 2.5-3 em. 
lata, jugorum mediorum oblique ovato-elliptica, basi rotunda v. truncata, apice 
breviter acuminata, ad 10:3.2 magna, jugorum superiorum paullo minora, ovato- 
lanceolata, interdum tantum 7:2.5 cm. magna, omnia a basi ad apicem sinuato- 
dentata spinis utrinque 4-8, terminalia ovato-oblonga, ad 11:4.3 cm. magna. 
Racemi ad 18 cm. longi densiflori, floribus plerumque verticillatis; bracteae inflo- 
rescentiarum valde triangulari-acuminatae, ad 3.5 em. longae; flores flavi (?), 
5-6 mm. diam.; pedicelli 2-3 mm. longi, bracteis ovatis satis obtusis fere duplo 
brevioribus suffulti; sepala 3 externa late-ovata minima, 3 interna late-ovata 
multo majora; petala obovata sepalis paullo breviora, apice brevissime incisa, 
basi vix unguiculata, glandulifera; stamina quam petala breviora, infra antheras 
ous 2 parvis praedita; ovaria estylosa, ovulis 2 sessilibus instructa. Fructus 
gnoti. 
Kwei-chou: “environs de Kouy-yang, mont du Collége,” July 7, 1898, Émile 
Bodinier (No. 2469). 
This seems to be a very well-marked species in its leaves and in its denticulate 
filaments. The specimen from the Herbarium of the Acad. Intern. Geog. Bot. was 
named Mahonia elegans Léveillé, but this is apparently an unpublished name, and 
as there is already a Berberis elegans Schneider it seems advisable not to use the 
Same specific name in Mahonia.
