2. Celtis Vandervoetiana Schneider. See p. 267. 
3. Celtis Bodinieri Léveillé in Fedde, Rep. Spec. Nov. XIII. 265 (1914); Fl. 
Kouy-Tchéou, 424 (1915). 
Ad descriptionem valde incompletam auctoris addenda v. emendenda: 
Arbor ad 10 m. alta; ramuli hornotini (initio ut videtur densius) flavescenti-vil- 
losuli, satis tenues, subangulati, annotini obscure rubro-brunnescentes, valde v. 
omnino glabrescentes, lenticellis paullo discoloribus obtecti, teretes. Folia magna, 
firma sed tenuia, late ovato-oblonga, basi inaequali plus minusve rotunda, apicem 
versus subsensim acuminata, interdum fere caudata, supra intense viridia (in vivo 
nitidula?), tantum in costa nervisque vix elevatis v. subimpressis sparse pilosula, 
subtus plus minusve discoloria, in sicco flavo-brunnescentia, in costa nervisque 
elevatis sparse pilosa, tenuiter elevato-reticulata, etiam in facie pilis minimis saepe 
fuscis et glandulosis conspersa, in axillis barbulata, sub microscopio valde indistincte 
reticulato-papillosa, margine integerrima, minimis exceptis 9-12 cm. longa, 4.5-6 
em. lata; petioli superne sulcati, tenuiter pilosi, 5-10 mm. longi. Inflorescentiae 
et flores normales, 9 axillares singuli ad terni; ovaria glabra. Fructus (an satis 
maturi?) aurantiaci, ovato-globosi, circiter ad 7 mm. longi et 5 mm. crassi, glabri; 
putamina ovata, ad hilum obtusa et non foveolata, in facie tenuissime punctato- 
reticulata, sutura mediana tenui incisa, circiter 5 mm. longa et 4 mm. lata; pedicelli 
tenuiter pilosi, 8-12 mm. longi. 
CHINA. Kwei-chou: “ environs de Kouy-chang, bois de la pagode Lan- 
Yo-Chan, 10 avril 1899," E. Bodinier (No. 1633, co-type; with flowers); “ jardin 
du Pe-Tang et environs de la ville,” June 10, 1897, E. Bodinier (No. 2587, type; 
with not yet ripe fruits and leaves). Yunnan: Szemao, Yulo, mountains to 
the south, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 12881; with young fruits). : 
This is apparently a well-marked species. Mgr. Léveillé has kindly sent me fruits 
and flowers and a leaf of Bodinier's type-numbers. I have little doubt that Henry's 
specimen represents the same species. The leaf of the type has the same fine 
brownish glandular hairs on the lower surface as [have described above from Henry's 
plant, and it is not “ glabra" as stated by the author. Léveillé calls Bodinier's 
plant * maxima arbor." The lobes of the perigone are glabrous on the inner side 
and not “ intus tomentelli,” a fact I have never observed in any Celtis. 
4. Celtis labilis Schneider. See p. 267. 
5. Celtis cercidifolia Schneider, n. sp. 
Celtis sinensis Hemsley in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 450 (non Persoon) (1894), 
quoad specimen Henryi, No. 2262. 
Frutex v. arbor?; ramuli hornotini fructiferi distincte v. tantum partim flaves- 
centi-tomentelli, satis angulati, rubiginosi, lenticellis flavescentibus sparsis con- 
spersi, annotini glabrescentes vetustioresque plus minusve nigrescentes. Folia 
adulta crasse papyracea, ovato- v. rhomboideo-rotunda, basi inaequali rotunda, 
truncata v. subcordata, apice acutata v. satis subito breviter acuminata, tantum 
infra acuminem margine breviter serrata, 4-6 cm. longa, 2.5-4.5 cm. lata (in No. 
1761* ad 7.5 cm. longa et 5 em. lata), supra intense viridia (an subnitentia?), levia, 
in costa nervisque impressis et in nervillis subimpressis plus minusve sparse V. VIX 
pilosa, subtus discoloria, in sicco plus minusve brunnescentia, in costa nervisque 
elevatis et nervillis paulo prominulis sparse pilosa, in facie tenuissime sparse glan- 
' duloso-pilosa, nervis lateralibus a costa exeuntibus utrinsecus basalibus 2 inclusis 
3-4, interdum basi sub 5-nervia; petioli 5-8 mm. longi, superne sulcati, tomentelli. 
Flores adhue ignoti. Fructus maturi ut videtur aurantiaci, subglobosi, circiter 6-7 
mm. crassi, glabri; putamina globosa, hilo distincte dentato excepto levia, circiter 
5 mm. crassa (in No. 1761? leviter costata et exigue v. vix striato-foveolata).
