Prain and Dunn consider this a variety of C. elegans Wallich, but it differs con- 
siderably from all other species of the genus in the shape of the corolla, which has a 
Short wide tube scarcely twice as long as the long upper lip, while in C. elegans and 
the other species the tube is at least three times as long as the comparatively short 
upper lip. C. Seguinii differs further from the other species in its glabrescent stems 
and leaves. Vaniot describes the calyx also as glabrous, but in Henry's specimens it 
is pubescent, as it is described by Diels in his C. decora. Vaniot possibly overlooked 
the very fine and close pubescence. I have no doubt that Dunn, who had seen the 
types of Vaniot’s, Prain’s and Diels’s plants, is right in uniting them. A more pu- 
bescent form occurs in western Szech'uan and this may be separated as à distinct 
variety. 
Colquhounia Seguinii, var. pilosa Rehder, n. var. ; 
A typo recedit ramis dense crispulo-pilosis et foliis supra satis 
dense et subtus praecipue ad costam nervosque longe pilosis. 
Western Szech'uan: Wa-shan, thickets, alt. 1200-1500 m., 
October 1908 (No. 3530; sub-shrub 1.5 m., flowers reddish). 
Wilson's No. 3580 differs from Henry's No. 3334 chiefly in the pilose pubescence 
of the stem and of the leaves; the lateral flowering branchlets are shorter, measuring 
from 3 to 8 cm. in length; the corolla is from 20 to 23 mm. long, with the tube from 
12 to 13 and the upper lip from 8 to 10 mm. long. These measurements agree 
with those given by Diels for his C. decora. 
In Yunnan the following two species have been collected. 
Colquhounia elegans Wallich, var. tenuiflora Prain in Jour. As. Soc. Bengal, 
LXII. 38 (1893). — Dunn in Not. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh, VI. 179 (1915). 
C. elegans Kurz, Forest Fl. Brit. Burma, II. 278 (non Wallich) (1877). 
C. tenuiflora Hooker f., Fl. Brit. Ind. IV. 674 (1885). 
C. martabanica Kura mss. ex Prain in Jour. As. Soc. Bengal, LXII. 38 (pro 
synon.) (1893).
