Western Hupeh: Hsing-shan Hsien, thickets, 1300-1700 m., May 
14, 1907 (No. 2118, type; bush 4.5-6 m.; à; No. 21188; 9 co-type). 
This species may be easily distinguished by the brownish silky bracts of the 7 
plant. In the 9 plant the leaves are broad and roundish at the apex, somewhat 
resembling those of S. hypoleuca Seemen, but are pubescent like the petioles and 
branchlets while young. The shape of the leaves is different from that of those of 
S. longiflora Andersson or S. cathayana Diels, which have a little larger fruits and 
well developed leaves on the peduncles. 
The specific name is derived from p«rós, mixed, and 6pí£, hair.
