240 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
1.8-3 m., bark rough and splitting longitudinally; with fruits and not 
yet fully grown leaves); same locality, woods, alt. 1800 m., May 28, 
1907 (No. 2802; tree 13 m. tall, girth 2.4 m.; sterile with young leaves, 
older parts of the branches somewhat corky). 
By the fruits this variety cannot be separated from the type, but the shape of the 
leaves is more obovate-oblong. Unfortunately I have seen no mature leaves, but 
there is a sterile branch collected by C. Silvestri in northern Hupeh “ Fan-sien, 
circa 800 m. s. m.," May 20 and June 3, 1906 (No. 360), which may belong to var. 
psilophylla. It can be described as follows: Ramuli foliiferi flavo-brunnei, basi 
minutissime puberuli, ceterum glabri, lenticellis sparsis obtecti, vetustiores cine- 
rascentes, laeves. Folia pleraque ovato-elliptica, basi rotundo-truncata v. sub- 
cordata paulo asymmetrica, apice subito breviter acuminata, supra scabra, tantum 
costa nervisque pro parte tenuissime pilosula, subtus in sicco vix pallidiora, plus 
minusve scabra, tantum axillis nervorum lateris longioris (imo apice excluso) 15-18 
elevatorum barbulata, margine dupliciter serrata serraturis primariis subincurvis; 
petioli satis tenues, superne pilosuli, 3-6 mm. longi.

velli glaberrimi, annotini olivaceo-brunnei v. rubro-brunnei, lenticellis 
flavis sparsis conspersi, deinde cinerascentes, laeves, ut videtur vix 
rimosi; gemmae satis evolutae, ovato-conicae, acutae, perulis dorso

v. sublongiores. Folia obovata, obovato-oblonga, elliptiea v. rarius

distincte asymmetrica parte longiore deducta saepe petiolum et ramu- 
lum obtegente, apice subito fere eaudato-acuminata, supra intense vi-
