Premna (p. 372). At the end of the genus insert the following two new species: 
Premna subcapitata Rehder, n. sp. 
Frutex metralis; ramuli teretes, hornotini dense patenti-villosi, annotini tarde 
glabrescentes, fusci, vetustiores cinereo-fusci. Folia membranacea, ovato-oblonga, 
acuminata, basi rotundata, basi apiceque exceptis dentato-serrata, 3.5-6 cm. longa 
et 1.5-2.3 cm. lata, supra obscure luteo-viridia, subaccumbenti-pilosa, subtus 
molliter dense villosa, nervis utrinsecus 4-5 angulo angusto divergentibus et ad- 
scendentibus ut costa supra impressis et subtus elevatis fuscescentibus; petioli 
dense patenti-villosi, 0.5-1 cm. longi, oppositi saepe inaequales. Inflorescentia 
terminalia in apice ramulorum lateralium patentium, capitato-corymbosa, subsessi- 
lis v. peduneulo ad 1 cm. longo suffulta, villosa, circiter 2 cm. diam.; pedicelli 
brevissimi; flores virescentes; calyx turbinatus, circiter 4 mm. longus, fere ad 
medium 5-partitus lobis lanceolatis, villosus; corolla bilabiata et 4-lobata, circiter 
6 mm. longa, extus pilosula et glandulosa, labium posticum rotundato-ovatum 
tubo paulo brevius ut videtur concavum (flores nondum perfecte aperti tantum 
exstant), anticum trilobum, postico brevius lobo medio late ovato, lateralibus 
similibus, sed duplo minoribus, tubus fauce villosus; stamina 4, exserti; stylus 
staminibus longior; ovarium glandulosum. Fructus desideratur. 
Western Szech'uan: without precise locality, cliffs, alt. 1200 m., June 1903 
(Veitch Exped. No. 3761). 
This species seems to be most closely related to P. pinguis Clarke and P. pro- 
cumbens Moon, but is easily distinguished from both by the smaller and narrower 
densely pubescent leaves and by the deeply divided calyx. 
Premna urticifolia Rehder, n. sp. : 
Frutex metralis; ramuli teretes, pallide fusci, hornotini sparse villosuli. Folia 
membranacea, ovata, acuminata, basi cordata, dentato-serrata, 5-8.5 em. longs 
et 3-6 cm. lata, supra obscure viridia, sparse scabrido-pilosula et punctulis impressis 
minutis notata, secus costam et nervos villosula, subtus paulo pallidiora, initio secus 
nervos crispulo-villosula, demum fere glabra, minute impresse reticulata et punctu- 
lata, utrinsecus nervis 4-5 adscendentibus, ut costa et nervi tertiarii supra impressis 
subtus elevatis; petioli 1-3.5 cm. longi, oppositi saepe inaequales, supra dense 
crispo-villosuli, ceterum sparse villosuli. Inflorescentia corymbosa, densa, 2-5- 
3.5 cm. diam., brevior quam lata, pedunculata pedunculo 1-1.5 cm. longo ut ram 
et pedicelli breves v. brevissimi villosulo; calyx fructifer cupularis, breviter sinuato- 
dentatus, circiter 4 mm. longus et latus, fere glaber; flores non visi. Drupa obo- 
voidea, 4-5 mm. longus, purpureo-nigra, putamine osseo, 3—4-loculari. 
Yunnan: Szemao, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 13389). 
. This species belongs to the same group as the preceding species, but differs from 
it in the glabrescent leaves and the sinuate-dentate calyx; from P. pinguis > 
it is easily distinguished by the glabrescent stems, the smaller leaves and the pe 
duncled corymb, and from P. procumbens Moon by the broader ovate leaves and the 
peduncled corymb. The minute impressed dots on the under side of the leaves I 
have not seen in any other species except in the African P. Schimperi Engler. 
new species, P. subcapitata and P. urticifolia, resemble in their general appearance 
certain species of Viburnum of the section Odontotinus. 
Clerodendron japonicum (p. 377). According to Makino (in Tokyo Bot. Mag. 
XVII. 91 [1903]) Clerodendron Kaempferi Siebold in Verh. Batav. Genoot. XI. 
51 (Syn. Pl. Oec. Jap.) (1830) is a synonym of Firmiana simplex W. F. Wight, but 
we do not think that this view is correct; Siebold apparently merely confused the 
Japanese names.
