Western Szech'uan: hills around Kiating City, October 1903 (Veitch Exped. 

 No. 3278; bush 1-2 m.); Mt. Omei, April 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 4768; bush

^ In our specimens of this variable plant the bracts and sepals are sparsely hairy 

 without and the styles though virtually free are united at the very base. In one 

 specimen they are entirely free. In Henry's No. 10914*^ the ovary is epareely 

 strigose. This plant is very common at the base of Mt. Omei.
