mouth of the corolla, sometimes being more or less slightly exserted. Therefore 
1 suggest the following combination: 
SyRINGA KoMAROWII, var. SARGENTIANA Schneider, n. var. 
Add to the enumeration of specimens: Western Szech'uan: Wa-shan, alt. 
2100-2400 m., July 1903 (Veitch Exped. No. 4081; shrub 1.8-4.5 m. tall, flowers 
rose). 
Syringa tetanoloba (p. 299). This species described from a meagre specimen 
proves identical with S. Sweginzowii Koehne & Lingelsheim (see p. 301). It comes 
from the Sungpan region from which the seeds of the type probably had been in- 
troduced to Petrograd by Russian collectors. 
Syringa tomentella (p. 300). Add as a synonym: S. alborosea N. E. Brown in 
Kew Bull. Misc. Inform. 1914, 187. The type of S. alborosea is Wilson's No. 1739 
eem Exped.), the seeds of which were collected near Tachien-lu in western 
zech'uan. i 
. Syringa Wilsonii (p. 300). According to observations on living plants this species 
is scarcely different from S. tomentella Bureau & Franchet, of which even S. Reh- 
deriana Schneider may represent only a variety. 
_ Syringa microphylla, var. glabriuscula (p. 301). This variety is scarcely dis- 
tinct and is connected by many intermediate forms with the type, the synonymy of 
which follows: 
SYRINGA MICROPHYLLA Diels in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 531 (1900). — Schneider in 
Bot. Jahrb. XXXVI. Beibl. LXXXII. 87 (1905); Ill. Handb. Laubholzk. II. 778, 
fig. 487 n-p, 486 z-z? (1911). 
Syringa Dielsiana Schneider in Bot. Jahrb. XXXVI. Beibl. 82, 88 (1905); 
Ill. Handb. Laubholzk. YI. 778, fig. 487 g-k, 488 a-d (1911). 
To this species belongs Wilson's specimen from western Hupeh, June 1901 (Veitch 
- No. 2024). S. microphylla is in cultivation in this Arboretum, where plants 
Were raised from seeds collected by Purdom (No. 583). It flowered well in the first 
days of June 1915 and 1916, and in 1916 a second time in August. 
Syringa Meyeri (p. 301). This species is not yet known in a wild state. F. N. 
Meyer (according to his note in.Bull. U. S. Dept. Agric. Bur. Pl. Industry, CXLII. 
57, No. 23032 [1909]) sent cuttings from Fengtai, near Peking, Chili. “ (No. 694, 
Mar. 31, 1908). A small-leaved Lilac, bearing many panicles of purple flowers, 
grafted upon a small-leaved Privet. Used much in forcing; quite rare and expen- 
ee ec Chinese name Shan ting hsien.” In this Arboretum S. Meyert 
ved quite hardy. It is apparently a slow-growin: ies, forming a dense 
branched small bush. eee ee 
WM Duclouxii (p. 304). Add the following number: 
iooi Szech’uan: Wushan Hsien, A. Henry (No. 5856), distributed as 
rites (Elaeococca cordata Muell. Arg.). 
posambucus Schweriniana (p. 306). This species flowered at the Arnold Ar- 
à retum for the first time in August 1914. This enables us to add the following 
‘scription of the flowers which were unknown when the species was described: 
Mere se concavus, glaber v. fere glaber, 9 cm. diam., 5-radiatus, radius medius 
06di a multo brevior: flores 5-7-meri, plerumque 6-meri, sessiles v. pedicellati 
cellis circiter 1 mm. longis; sepala subulata, 0.5 mm. longa, albida v. leviter
