CHINA. Yunnan: Mengtsze, great gully, wood, October 18, A. Henry (No. 
9323 in part, type, in Herb. New York Bot. Garden; tree 7 m. tall, black and yellow 
fruits; with ripe fruits). ie 
In many respects this species is very similar to the following species, of which it 
May represent only a variety, but it can be distinguished from it by its smaller 
leaves and its smooth stones. Henry’s No. 9323 contains different species; the 
- in the herbarium of the Arnold Arboretum belongs to C. Bungeana 
lume. 
The specific name is derived from du@iSodos, misleading. 
8. Celtis yunnanensis Schneider, n. sp. 
Frutex v. arbor?; ramuli (novelli ignoti) hornotini fructiferi subangulati, pro 
parte pilosuli, purpurascentes, lenticellis sparsis discoloribus obtecti, vetustiores

fimbriatis extus puberulis obtectae. Folia adulta firma, levia, basi inaequali rotun- 
data, ovata v. obovata sed apice abrupte in acuminem 3-4 cm. longum integrum

lariter dentata, alteri lateris integra (an semper?), ovato-lanceolata subsensim

longa et 3.5-4.5 cm. lata, nervis lateralibus utrinsecus basalibus 2 inclusis 3-4, 
Supra saturate viridia, in costa nervisque subimpressis sparse (v. ad basim in-

V. rubiginosa, in costa nervisque elevatis sparse pilosa, vix barbulata, in nervillis 
vix prominulis facieque glabra; petioli 5-9 mm. longi, satis crassi, superne pilosi, 
suleati. Flores adhuc ignoti. Fructus maturi singuli v. bini, globosi, ut videtur 
aurantiaci, circiter 8 mm. crassi, glabri; putamina globosa, hilo paulo producto 
obtusa, in tota facie leviter foveolata, vix distinete costulata, circiter 6 mm.

CHINA. Yunnan: Mi-lé, A. Henry (No. 9323 A, type, in Herb. New York 
Bot. Garden; with ripe fruits). ; 
As I have stated above, this species is apparently closely related to the preceding, 
but as long as we do not know the flowers and young leaves it seems better to keep 
the two distinct. ux 
Here may be mentioned a Celtis which I collected in Yunnan in the Tali region 
not far from Teng-chuan, September 27, 1914 (No. 2709). The ripe fruits are
