Western Hupeh: Hsing-shan Hsien, cliffs, alt. 600-1000 m., 
July and October 1907 (No. 425; small tree 5-7 m. tall, flowers white, 
fruits blue-black). Yunnan: Mengtze, mountains to southeast, 
alt. 1500 m., A. Henry (Nos. 9026, 9026; flowers white). 
The inflorescence of Wilson’s specimens is from 8 to 12 cm. high, and from 10 to 
20 em. broad, while Diels gives 25 by 30 cm.; it is distinctly cymose with from 4 to 
 subumbellate primary branches, the lowest pair more strongly developed than 
the others. The fruit, which is not described by Diels, is bluish black, from 8 to 10 
det high, and according to the number of seeds it contains ovoid to subglobose and 
ghtly 2-4lobed; at the base it is surrounded by the enlarged, irregularly split 
and finally reflexed calyx; seeds 1-4, light grayish-brown, oblong-ovoid, about 8 
mm. long and 5 mm. broad, plain on the ventral sides and with a deep curved furrow 
on one side, strongly reticulate on the dorsal side. Henry’s No. 9026* differs in the 
a densely tomentose undersurface of the leaves and in the densely tomentose 
InHorescence and calyx. Young plants raised from seeds of Wilson's No. 425 and 
growing in the Arnold Arboretum have the leaves coarsely crenate-dentate.
