Western Szech'uan: northeast of Tachicn-lu, forests, Ta-p^ao- 

 shan, alt. 2300-2800 m., July 1908 (No. 2211; tree 8-20 m. tall, girth 

 0.6-2.4 m.; fruiting branches). Eastern Szechu'an: district of 

 Tchen-keou-tin, P. Farges (without number; type ex Franchet and 

 Winkler). 



Winkler also refers to his C Fargesiana a specimen collected by Wilson num- 

 bered 1170*' in Herb. Hofmus. Wien, which 1 have been unable to compare. Nor 

 did I see the type, but Wilson's No. 2211 may be referred to this species which 

 needs further investigation.^ There may be some relationship between it and 

 those forms I have mentioned under C. Turczaninovii, var. ovalifolia Winkler. It 

 seems best to give a description of No. 2211 because there is no sufficient de- 

 scription of C. Fargesianaj and there is some doubt whether our specimen is the 

 same as Winkler's type. Arbor 8-20 m. alta; ramuli homotini versus apicem laxe 

 sericeo-villosi, deinde glabrescentes, brunnei, lenticellis pars^is ellipticis flavis nunie- 

 rosis conspersi; gemmae vix satis evolutae, satis parvae, ovatae, obtusae, perulis 

 ciliatis pluribus cinctae. Folia ovato- v. elliptico-oblonga, firma, subrotunda v. 

 paulo angiistata, indistincte cordata, apice sensim breviter acuminata, supra m- 

 tensius viridia, ad costam nervosque et facie inter nervos sericeo-villosula, subtus 

 pallide-viridia, ad costam nervosque plus minusve sericeo-villosula, facie vix pilosa, 

 tenuissime reticulata, in axilUs nervorum lateralium distincte prominentium 12-15 

 inter se 3-5 mm. distantium foveolata et barbata, margine dupliciter v. ad apicem 

 simpliciter dentato-serrata inter dentes apice nervorum baud v. vix elongates denti- 

 bus 1-2 secundariis v. nullis instructa, majora 5-6.5 cm. longa, 2-2.5 cm. lata; 

 petiolis superne sericeis 6-10 mm. longis satis gracilibus instructa. Amenta fructi- 

 fera matura pedunculis 1-1.5 cm. longis laxe sericeis suffulta, circiter 4 cm. longa et 

 2.5 cm. crassa, subdensa, rhachi sericeo-villosula; bracteae late semiovatae, sub- 

 obtusae, latere exteriore dentato-serratae v. lobulato-dentatae, latere interiore 

 integrae, rectae, basi hand v. vix involutae, superne sparse pilosae et ciliatae, 

 subtus praesertim ad nervos distinctius pilosae, 13-15 mm. longae, 6-8 mm. latae; 

 nuculae late ovatae, interdum a latere compressae, brunneae, longitudinaliter 8-10 

 costato-striatae, apice perigonio distincto coronatae et pilosae sed ceterum facie 

 glabrae, tantum glandulis praesertim versus apicem conspersae, circiter 4 mm. 

 longae et 2.5 mm. crassae. 



* To these central Chinese forms may be closely related C. Kawakamii Hayata, 

 Icon. PL Formos. III. 175, fig. 24, t. 33, fig. B (1913), which I know only from the 

 description and the figures. The type was collected by B. Hayata in Formosa on 

 Mt. Morrison, October 1907 (No. 1998). Hayata says: '' near C. faginea Lindl, 

 but according to the plate it seems much nearer to C. Fargesiana Winkler or to 

 C Henryana Winkler.
