tives, has the corolla with five basal gibbosities and the 
fruiting pedicels erect ; the other, which includes the genus 
Meisteria, Sieb. and Zucc. (founded on the serrate lobes 
of the corolla), and which includes also H. himalaicus (Tab. 
6460) and EH. campanulatus, has the corolla equal at the 
base, and deflexed fruiting pedicels. 
Enkianthus campanulatus is a native of Northern Japan, _ 
and has been found in the vicinity of Hakodadi by various 
collectors. In the more southern provinces of the kingdom 
it seems to be known only in cultivation. As a species it 
is hardly distinguishable from EF. himalaicus, which has 
ferruginous hairs on the leaves beneath when young, 
longer filaments, pubescent anthers, ovary and style, and 
rather shorter broader capsules. The flowers of H. hima- 
laicus are of a more ochreous-red. The specimen here 
represented was communicated in May of last year by 
Messrs. Veitch, who procured the plant from Japan, 
through their collector, Mr. Maries; it flowered in the 
~Coombe Wood Nursery, and is perfectly hardy. 
Descr. A small deciduous leaved tree ; branches slender ; 
bark light brown. Leaves fascicled at the tips of the 
branches, one and a half to two inches long, shortly 
petioled, elliptic-ovate, subacute, finely serrulate, narrowed 
into a short glabrous or slightly hairy petiole, base acute, 
tip glandular. Flowers in axillary pendulous sessile ab- 
breviated puberulous or glabrous racemes; pedicels one- 
half to three-quarters of an inch. Sepals lanceolate, half 
the length of the corolla, pubescent. Corolla a third of 
an inch in diameter, shortly campanulate, shortly five- 
lobed, dark red, with three darker nerves on the tube. 
answering to each lobe, base rounded; lobes rounded, 
spreading. Stamens very short, filaments subulate from 
a large dilated base, villous; anthers glabrous, awns as 
long as the cells. Ovary glabrous; style included. Cap- 
sule one-third of an inch long.
