SCROPHULARIACEAE. 
Determined by ALFRED REHDER. 
BRANDISIA Hook. f. & Thoms. 
Brandisia Hancei, Hooker f., Fl. Brit. Ind. IV. 257 (1885). — 
Hemsley in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 179 (1890). 
Brandisia discolor Hance in Jour. Linn. Soc. XVIII. 299 (non Hooker f. & 
Thomson) (1880). 
Western Hupeh: Ichang, scrub-clad hillsides, alt. 30-300 m., 
March 1907 (No. 3404); without locality, A. Henry (No. 1150); 
Nanto and mountains to the northward, A. Henry (No. 3007). 
Yunnan: Mengtze, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 9013; slender shrub, 
1 m., flowers yellow). oe: 
No good description of this species has been published so far, but according to 
Dr. A. B. Rendle of the British Museum who kindly compared Wilson’s No. 3404 
with the type of B. Hancei Hook. f. from Kweichou, there is no difference between 
the two specimens. Wilson’s specimen also agrees perfectly with Henry’s speci- 
men from Hupeh referred by Hemsley to B. Hancei. Henry’s No. 9013 from 
Yunnan differs slightly in its smaller and narrower leaves. 
Besides the preceding the four following species occur in Yunnan: 
Brandisia discolor Hooker f. & Thomson in Jour. Linn. Soc. VIII. 11, t. 4

Yunnan: Szemao, forests, alt. 1300 m., A. Henry (No. 120055, climbing shrub, 
to 5 m., yellow flowers).
