SCROPHULARIACEAE. — PAULOWNIA 577 
This new species is a handsome tree with its large, much branched panicles of lav- 
ender-colored flowers; it differs from all other species of the genus in the coarse 
dentation of the leaves. Its native habitat is still unknown; around Ichang it is 
only cultivated and the specimen from Fokien also may have been gathered from 
a cultivated tree.

1907 (No. 769*). 
This species seems nearest to P. tomentosa K. Koch, which differs from it chiefly 
in its more densely fulvous-tomentose leaves, cordate or subcordate at the base, 
in the densely fulvous-tomentose outer surface of the calyx teeth which are not re- 
curved at the apex and in the tomentose inflorescence. The other species with 
their calyx glabrous or glabrescent on the outside differ also in their campanulate 
calyx with acutish lobes much shorter than the calyx-tube, and in the longer and 
narrower corolla. 
Paulownia Duclouxii Dode in Bull. Soc. Dendr. France, 1908, 162. 
Western Hupeh: Ichang, alt., 300-1000 m. April 1907 (No. 
3170; tree 6-15 m., trunk 0.60-2.30 m. diam., flowers white or lavender- 
purple). 
Wilson’s No. 3170 seems to agree fairly well with Dode’s description of P. 
Duclouzii, of which I have not seen the type specimen. Dode, however, says it
