This species is distinguished by the sessile or almost sessile flowers. Schoepfia 
chinensis Gardner & Champion, of which I have been able to see but one speci- 
men, is similar, but the flowers are almost twice as large and the leaves seem to 
narrower and longer than those of S. jasminodora. 
Here may be added the following species not collected during the Arnold Ar- 
boretum Expeditions. .
