This species is related to E. Semenovii Regel & Herder, which differs in its 
longer and more acute leaves and the longer peduncles; it is also related to E. 
Przewalskii Maximowiez which may be distinguished by the acuminate, more 
closely serrate leaves and by the narrowly winged fruit.

1 A closely related species from Kansu is the following: 
Evonymus Przewalskii Maximowiez in Bull. Acad. Sci. St. Pétersbourg, XXVII. 
451 (1881); in Mél. Biol. XI. 194 (1881); in Act. Hort. Petrop. XI. 97 (1890). 
Loesener in Bot. Jahrb. XXX. 464 (1902). 
Kansu: Minchou district, alt. 2800 m., 1910, W. Purdom. E

only in the leaves being mostly broadly cuneate at the base, though they are R. 
below the middle. E
