444 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO VOLUME I 
When I described M. Zemanii I overlooked Sprague’s species, of which Henry’s 
No. 3117 is a type. This number had been referred to M. Fortunei (Lindley) 
Mouillefert by Fedde, whom I followed, not having seen that specimen. 
Mahonia decipiens (p. 379). I now regard this name as a mere synonym of M. 
Sheridaniana Schneider. The ovary apparently has no style, and there is a pair 
of very small leaflets present at the base of the petiole on another specimen of 
Wilson's in the Herbarium of this Arboretum. 
Mahonia Fortunei (p. 380). The author of the combination is Mouillefert, 
Traité Arb. Arbriss. I. 165 (1892). 
Mahonia japonica (p. 382). The citation of the second synonym should read: 
Berberis japonica Sprengel, Syst. II. 119 (1825). R. Brown in Tuckey, Narr. Exp. 
Congo, App. V. 441, in adnot. (reprint p. 22) (1818 [not 1816]) only mentions that 
Ilex japonica Thunberg has to be referred to Berberis, but he does not make the 
combination. See also Nees v. Esenbeck, R. Brown’s Verm. Bot. Schrift. 1. 230 
(1825). 
Mahonia nepalensis (p. 382). Read “ MAHONIA NAPAULENSIS." 
Mahonia Veitchiorum (p. 383). This species has to be referred as a synonym to 
Mahonia polyodonta Fedde. The distinguishing characters given by me in the 
key on p. 381 have proved unreliable. 
Mahonia Sheridaniana (p. 384). Seenote above under M. decipiens. és 
Liriodendron chinense (p. 410). Add the following number: : 
Western Hupeh: Ichang Fu, rare, alt. 1000-1500 m., 1907 (No. 701; tree 
8-20 m. tall; seeds only). 
Corylopsis Willmottiae (p. 425). This species flowered profusely in the spring of 
1916 in this Arboretum, which enables us to add the description of the flowers: 
Flores pallide flavi in racemis densis multifloris cum pedunculo villoso v. fere 
glabro 5-7 cm. longis, rhachi villosa; bracteae suborbiculares v. late ovatae, rotun- 
datae, margine villosae, extus glabrae, intus plus minusve villosae, basales magnae, 
florales minores circiter 5 mm. latae et 4 mm. longae, interdum margine i iter 
et sparse erosae; bracteolae obovatae v. ovales, circiter 3 mm. longae; sepala late 
ovata, 1-1.5 mm. longa, glabra, tubum subaequantia, petale irregulariter orbicu- 
laria, e basi truncata in unguiculum brevem contracta, lamina plerumque paulo 
latiora quam longa, 4-5 mm. diam.; nectaria sepalis paullo breviora v. subaequi- 
longa, plerumque ultra medium bifida, apice truncata v. irregulariter lobulati; 
stamina petalis paulo breviora, circiter 3.5 mm. longa, filamentis basin versus 
dilatatis; styli erecti petala fere subaequantes. 
Corylopsis platypetala, var. levis (p. 427). This variety has also flowered in the 
spring of 1916 and we add the following description of the flowers: 
Flores pallide flavi, in racemis cum pedunculo 3-5 em. longis, rhachi villosa; 
bracteae basales obovatae v. obovato-oblongae, acuminulati, extus glabrae, intus 
sericeo-villosae, florales oblongo-ovatae concavae, circiter 5 longae et 2.5 latae, 
extus sparse villosulae et minute glandulosae, intus villosae; bracteolae oblongae; 
sepala ovata v. triangulari-ovata, interdum acutiuscula, 1-1.5 mm. longa, glabra; 
suborbicularia, e basi truncata v. late cuneata in unguiculum brevem at- 
tenuata, lamina paulo latiora quam longa v. aeque ac longa quam lata, 3-4 mm. 
diam.; nectaria apice tantum biloba et irregulariter lobulata, interdum bifida,
