LYSIONOTUS D. Don. 
Lysionotus pauciflorus Maximowicz in Bull. Acad. Sci. St. Péters- 
bourg, XIX. 534 (1874); in Mél. Biol. IX. 366 (1874). — Franchet & 
Savatier, Enum. Pl. Jap. I. 327 (1875). — S. Moore in Jour. Bot. XIII. 
231 (1875). — C. B. Clarke in De Candolle, Monog. Phaner. V. 599 
(1883). — Hemsley in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 225 (1890). 
Lysionotus pauciflorus, var. ? Henry in Trans. As. Soc. Japan, X XIV. suppl. 68 
(1896).— Matsumura & Hayata, in Jour. Coll. Sci. Tokyo, XXII. 288 (Enum. 
Pl. Formos.) (1906). 
Lysionotus warleyensis Willmott in Gard. Chron. ser. 3, LIV. 125 (1913). 
Western Hupeh: Hsing-shan Hsien, cliffs, alt. 1200-1500 m., 
July and October 1907 (No. 370; flowers ereamy white, spotted pur- 
ple); Changyang Hsien, cliffs, alt. 600-900 m., July 1907 (No. 3519; 
flowers purple); without precise locality, A. Henry (No. 6139). 
5 I have not been able to compare flowering specimens of the Japanese plant, 
ut a co-type in fruit in the Gray Herbarium of Maximowicz's species agrees very 
we with the Hupeh plant; the capsules are identical with those of Wilson's No. 
N 0, and the leaves do not differ from those of Wilson's No. 3519, while the leaves of 
: 0. 370 are smaller and narrower, mostly linear-oblong in outline and up to 3.5 cm. 
= and to 7 mm. wide; the leaves of Henry’s No. 6139 are similar, but somewhat 
shorter and broader. The color of the flowers varies apparently from white and 
Spotted or striped purple to purple, as appears from Wilson’s field notes.
