368 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
Eastern Szech'uan: ''Shou-tzu-p'ing," A. von Rosthorn, August 1891 (No. 
293). 
This variety differs chiefly in its smaller and narrower leaves very gradually nar- 
rowed into the petiole, in the denser pubescence and in the somewhat longer antlers. 
Callicarpa Giraldiana, var. subcanescens Rehder, n. var. 
A typo recedit indumento omnium partium densiore, ramulis juniori- 
bus pube farinoso fasciculato-piloso obtectis, foliis supra sparse et 
minute fasciculato-pilosis subtus densius praecipue in nervis et venu- 
lis fasciculato-pilosis, cymis et calycibus densius fasciculato-pilosis. 
Western Hupeh: without precise locality, A. Henry (No. 5864, 
type). Kiangsi: Kuling, thickets, not common, alt. 1200 m., July 
31, 1907 (No. 1528; bush 1.6-2 m. tall, with immature fruits). 
This variety differs from the type in the denser pubescence of all its parts; the 
leaves are loosely covered on the whole under surface with rather long fascicled 
hairs. The leaves of Henry's specimens are comparatively narrow, elliptic-oblong 
to elliptic-lanceolate, the larger ones not exceeding 3.5 cm. in width, while those of 
Wilson's No. 1528 are mostly elliptic or obovate and up to 6 cm. broad.

The specimen cited above is the only one referable to the typical form of this 
species I have seen from China, and on account of its rather small leaves it 
resembles somewhat C. dichotoma K. Koch. It presents, however, the chief char- 
acters by which C. japonica can be distinguished from that species, as the perfectly 
terete branchlets, the long-acuminate leaves with spreading teeth, the strictly 
axillary inflorescence, larger flowers and the longer anthers opening at the apex bya 
pore.
