442 "WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



The forms of this species from southern Korea are very difTerently interpreted. 

 The type of Winkler's var. suhintegra has pubescent nutlets and is referred to C. 

 Fauriei Nakai. Faurie's No. 1533 of June 1907 from Hallai-san has glabrous 

 nutlets, and seems to represent the same form as Taquet's No. 4440, which I take 

 for typical C. Tschonoskii. Faurie's No. 1534 of May 1907 from the same locaUty 

 is too young to be referred without question to this species, and may belong to C. 

 Fauriei, the relationship of which to C Tschonoskii needs further investigation. 



Nakai (in Tokyo Bot Mag. XXIX, 39 [1915]) mentions C. Fargesiana Winlvler 

 from the Chiri-san in southern Korea, without further indication. This is probably 

 C. Tschonoskii. 



Nakai (I. c. 38) also describes a new species: C. eximiaj from the same mountain, 

 near the temple Scn-on-ji, alt. 280 m., July 15, 1913, T. Nakai (No. 11, tj-pe). 

 As far as 1 can judge from his description this plant may represent only a robust 

 form of C. Tschonoskii. The only difference I can see is " perigonium fructum toto 

 clausum," but this character seems to be variable in this species.

I have seen too little material to get sufficiently acquainted with this species, 

 which certainly is very distinct. Henry's specimen (No. 5520*) referred to it by 

 Burkill may, I beheve, belong to C. polyneura Franchet.

Neither Winkler nor Nakai mentions the fine pubescence of the whole surface of 

 the nutlets, which I find in No. 1535 (Herb. Arnold Arboretum), but otherwise 



' To both these species seems closely related C. minutiserrata Hayata (Icon, rl^ 

 Formes. III. 177, t. 33, fig. A [1913]), which I know only from the description and 

 plate. The type was collected in Formosa at Tandaisha, April 1910, by U. Man,
