APOCYNACEAE. — TRACHELOSPERMUM 333 
1600 m., July 1907 (No. 2342*). Kweichou: “environs de Kouy- 
yang, mont du Collége, rare, 25 avril 1898," J. Chaffaanjon; “ environs 
de Lo-Pie, avril 1898," J. Seguin; "environs de Tou-chan, 3 juin 
1899," J. Cavalerie (ex Léveillé). 
On account of the glabrous mouth of the corolla and of the exserted anther- 
tips I refer Wilson's plant as a variety to T. gracilipes Hooker f. So far as I can 
judge by fragments kindly sent to me by Mgr. Léveillé from one of his type 
specimens the plant from Kweichou is the same as that from Hupeh. The sta- 
mens are exserted and not included as stated by the author in his description. 
I am not sure if all three specimens cited by Léveillé really belong to our plant.
