Western Szech'uan: west of Kuan Hsien, near summit of Niu- 
tou-shan, 3000 m., June 20, 1908 (No. 2147, type; shrub 3-7 m.; 9; 
No. 2147*, co-type; g). ; 
Almost identical with those of this species seem to be specimens from Mupin, 
thickets, alt. 2600-3300 m., May and October 1908 (No. 1407; bush 1.5-3 m., d'i - 
No. 1407^; sterile). The mature leaves are elliptic, mostly acute at the ends, 
finely glandular-serrate, grayish and glabrous beneath, with a distinctly promi- 
nent rib and nerves and a very fine reticulation. They measure from 6-10 cm. 1n - 
length and from 2.5-3.5 in width. There are two other specimens from Mupin, 
alt. 2600-3000 m., May 1908 (No. 2157; shrub 1.8-2 m., and 2158; shrub 3 m.); 
No. 2158 has abnormal 9 flowers with hairy ovaries and may very well belong toS. 
plocotricha Schneider, but No. 2157 with its nearly glabrous ovaries looks somewhat 
like a hybrid between this species and S. moupinensis Franchet. See also S. spa- 
thulifolia Seemen, p. 114. 
The specific name is derived from zAóxos, curl, and 6pí£, hair.
