Wilson's specimens differ from all the Himalayan specimens I have seen in the 

 3-5-foliolate leaves with generally oblong obtusish leaflets and in the usually 3-5- 

 flowered inflorescence. In these characters it agrees very well with the description 

 of tj'pical J. humile as contrasted with the Himalayan J. revolutum, Wilson's 

 Nos. 4078 and 2810 are very much Uke the figure in the Botanical Register (t. 

 350) except that the leaflets are more obtusish; the other specimens have generally 

 narrower leaflets, particularly Nos. 2809 and 4077, which have the leaflets oblong 

 and about 1-2 cm. long and 0.4-0.6 cm. broad. In Nos. 2810 and 2811 the leaflets 

 and the petioles and in No. 2811 the young branchlets also are slightly pubescent. 



Here may be added some notes on species not collected during the Arnold 

 Arboretum expeditions.
