ROSACE AE. — MALUS 285 



Western Hupeh: Fang Hsien, thickets, alt. 1300-2000 m., May 

 14 and November 1907 (No. 2980, type; bush 2-5 m. tall, flowers rosy 

 pink, very beautiful); Patung Hsien, October 1900 (Veitch Exped. 

 Seed No. 766). 



This is a very beautiful form resembling in the color of its flowers M. Hallianaj 

 but with a greater profusion of flowers. 



In the mountains of western Hupeh this form and the type are exceedingly 

 common in open country, in wayside thickets and on the margin of woods; they are 

 also occasionally cultivated. The leaves of both are collected and dried and are 

 used locally in preparing a beverage which is drunk as a substitute for Tea.
