440 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO VOLUME I 
Berberis subcaulialata (p. 369). Add as a synonym: Berberis Coryi Veitch, 
New Hardy Pl. China, 1913, 7. 
Berberis Vernae (p. 372). This species belongs to sect. Integerrimae Schneider 
and as already said B. Caroli, var. hoanghoensis Schneider is a synonym of it. 
Berberis (p. 374). After B. Lecomtei may be added at the end of sect. Sinenses 
the following new and still imperfectly known species: 
BERBERIS VIRGETORUM Schneider, n. spec. 5 
Frutex ad 1.8 m. altus, glaber; ramuli juniores ignoti, vetustiores cinerel, 
paulo striato-angulati; spinae simplices, ad 2.5 em. longae, rubro-brunneae, 
subtus suleatae. Folia ad 6 fasciculata, inaequalia, membranacea, oblongo- 
rhomboidea, utrinque sensim acutata, basi in petiolum ad 2 cm. longum producta, 
minimis exceptis petiolo incluso 3.5-10 em. longa et 1-2.8 cm. fere in medio 
laminae lata, superne intense viridia, subtus pallida, pruinosa, haud papillosa, 
nervis paucis lateralibus plus minusve elevatis nervillis invisibilibus, margine 
integra, interdum paulo undulata. Inflorescentiae racemosae v. subumbellatae, 
3-10-florae, 2-2.5 cm. longae. Flores ignoti. Fructus immaturi oblongo-elliptici, 
circiter 8 mm. longi et 3 mm. crassi, stigmate sessili; pedicelli 5-8 mm. longi, 
bracteis parvis lanceolatis acuminatis 1-1.5 mm. longis suffulti; semen imma- 
turum 1 (an ovula interdum 2), sessile. 
Kiangsi: Kuling, thickets, alt. 1400 m., July 29, 1907 (No. 1517, type; shrub 
1.2 -1.8 m. tall). 
'This species is well marked by its rather large leaves and short racemes. Un- 
fortunately there are no young branchlets, flowers or ripe fruits. It may be most 
closely related to B. Lecomtei Schneider, but in its leaves it resembles somewhat 
B. Tschonoskyana Regel from Japan. It differs from both in the shape of the 
leaves, which are much smaller and obtuse in B. Lecomtei and are not distinctly 
acute at the apex in B. Tschonoskyana, which has longer pedicels and inflorescences. 
Berberis brachypoda (p. 375). This species has to be regarded as the type of the 
following new section: 
Sect. BRACHYPODAE Schneider, n. sect. 
Berberis, sect. Vulgares, subsect. Dasystachyae Schneider in Mitt. Deutsch. 
Dendr. Ges. XIV. 1905, 115 (1906), exclud. B. dasystachya. 
Folia et plerumque inflorescentiae ramulique pubescentes. Inflorescentiae spiet- 
formes, densiflorae. 
To this section also belongs B. Gilgiana Fedde (p. 375), of which B. pubescens 
Pampanini in Nuov. Giorn. Bot. Ital. n. s. XVII. 273 (1910), is a synonym. 
Berberis (p. 375). After B. amurensis the following three species have to be 
€ which were not enumerated in 1913 for lack of sufficient material at that 
ime: 
BERBERIS HENRYANA Schneider in Bull. Herb. Boiss. sér. 2, V. 664 (1905); l- € 
VIII. 261 (1908), exclud. specim. Giraldii Nos. 2303, 2310 et Wilsonii No. 3151. 
Ad descriptionem addenda v. emendanda: Frutex ad 2 metralis v. ultra; Tamu" 
annotini flavo- v. atrobrunnei, vix purpurascentes, paulo sulcato-angulati, "d 
spinae flavescentes, subtus suleatae, 1-3-fidae, mediae ad 3 cm. longae. Folia 
ramulorum sterilium surculorumque satis variabilia, matura crasse memb:
