332 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
This species seems to be most closely related to M. Hemsleyanus Diels, judging 
by the shape of the calyx. Otherwise it has a much more distinct paracorolla, but 
not so well developed as that of M. suaveolens Champion, which may be at once 
distinguished by its shorter, obtuser calyx and by the peculiar lobulation of the 
dolabriform shorter lobes. I have seen only fragments of Léveillé's type, and it 
seems to be a little different from Morse’s plant before me. The leaves of the 
type are narrower, the lobes of the corolla are a little longer and not so distinctly 
undulate-cristate, the corolla tube is more hairy within, and the branches of the 
stigma are very slender.
