CELASTRACEAE. — EVONYMUS 493 
This species seems most nearly related to E. nana Marschall-Bieberstein which 
is easily distinguished by its alternate or whorled leaves and by the longer pe- 
duncles; E. Przewalskii Maximowicz and E. Semenovii Regel & Herder differ in 
their larger and broader leaves and slender peduncles.
