86 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



On the Himalayas this is a large tree, but it is quite possible that on cliffs in 

 China it may flower as a shrub. 



In addition to the species mentioned, the following numbers probably represent 

 two species, but there are no leaves except very young ones, and I think it best 

 not to attempt to describe them. 



Lindera sp. 



Western Hupeh: Hsing-shan Hsien, woodlands, alt. 1000-1600 

 m., May 1907 (No. 3685; bush 3-4 m., male flowers yellow). 



Lindera sp. 



Western Hupeh: Changyang Hsien, woodlands, alt. 1000-2000 

 m., April 1907 (Nos. 3679, 3686; bush 2-6 m. tall, male flowers yellow). 

 Hsing-shan Hsien, woods, alt, 1600 m., April 1907 (No. 3678; bush 

 2-6 m., male flowers yellow); without locality, April 1901 (Veitch
