400 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 
15. Mussaenda Cavaleriei Léveillé in Fedde, Rep. Sp. Nov. XIII. 178 (1914). 
Kweichou; on rocks at Touan-Po, near Pin-ue, August 1905, J. Cavalerie 
(No. 2481). . 
I am quite unable to obtain an idea of the appearance of this species from 
Léveillé's inadequate description. It may not be a Mussaenda.

Randia yunnanensis Hutchinson, n. sp. 
Frutex inermis, 2.5-3 m. altus; ramuli glabri. Folia elliptico-lanceolata, acute 
longissime acuminata, basi cuneata, 10-15 cm. longa, 2.5-5 em. lata, tenuiter 
chartacea, utrinque costa infra minute puberula excepta glabra; nervi laterales 
utrinsecus circiter 7, arcuati, supra conspicui, infra prominentes, prope marginem 
conjuncti; venae laxae, infra prominulae; petioli 3-4 mm. longi, glabri; stipulae 
sublato-lanceolatae, acutae, 5-7 mm. longae, glabrae. Flores axillares, fascicu- 
lati, breviter pedicellati; pedicelli 2-3 mm. longi, puberuli; receptaculum cam- 
panulatum, puberulum; calyx cupularis, 1 mm. longus, puberulus, dentatus, den- 
tibus ovato-triangularibus 0.75 mm. longis; corollae tubus 3 mm. longus, extra 
glaber, fauce villosus; lobi mox reflexi, oblongi, obtusi, 4-5 mm. longi, 2 mm. lati, 
glabri; antherae exsertae, 0.5 cm. longae; stylus exsertus, 1 cm. longus, anguste 
clavatus. Fructus globosus, 5-6 mm. diametro, parce puberulus v. fere glaber. 
Yunnan: Szemao, mountains to south, alt. 1640 m., A. Henry (Nos. 11750, 
type; shrub 3 m. tall; flowers white; 11750*; 117505; fruit red; 11750°; 11750°). 
Very closely related to Randia densiflora Bentham, but without the line of dense 
hairs on the back of the corolla lobes characteristic of that species, and with fas- 
ciculate not cymose flowers. 
Randia evenosa Hutchinson, n. sp. 
d Frutex 3 m. altus; ramuli spinosi, cortice cinereo obtecti, juniores minute pube- 
ruli, sicco nigrescentes. Folia obovata, basi breviter cuneata, apice rotundata et 
minute mucronata, 3-6 em. longa, 2-3 cm. lata, rigide chartacea, nervorum 
puberulis exceptis glabra, evenosa; nervi laterales utrinsecus circiter 5, plerumque 
suboppositi, a costa sub angulo 45? abeuntes, utrinque prominuli; petioli 5 mm. , 
longi; stipulae coriaceae, caducae, triangulari-ovatae, 2.5-3 mm. longae, glabrae; 
spinae rectae 1 cm. longae. Flores flavi, ad apicem ramulorum brevium fascicu- 
lati, circiter 8-nati; pedicelli 0.5-1 cm. longi, glabri, basi bracteati, bracteis stipulis 
subsimilibus; receptaculum obconicum, 1.5 mm. longum, glabrum; calycis tubus 
cupularis, 2 mm. longus, glaber, 5-dentatus; corollae tubus cylindricus, 5 mm. 
longus, extra glaber, fauce breviter pubescens; lobi 5, oblongo-elliptici, obtusi, 
6 mm. longi, 3-3.5 mm. lati, glabri; antherae inter lobos corollae insertae, , 
5 mm. longae; ovarium biloculare; stylus 1 cm. longus, superne clavato-bilobatus,
