A very handsome shrub, resembling in general appear- 
ance D). discolor. It may, however, be distinguished by its 
more hairy and scabrous foliage, and by its more robust 
branchlets and pedicels ; also the calyx-lobes are shorter 
and broader, the corolla, when fully expanded, is flatter, 
and not cup-shaped, and the winged filaments are much 
narrower, and not bilobed towards the apex. It was 
discovered in Western China by Mr. HE. H. Wilson. The 
drawing and description were prepared from fresh material 
supplied by Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons last year, during 
the month of June. 
Descr.—Branches reddish brown, bark soon peeling. 
Leaves three to four and a half inches long, and about 
one to one and a half inches broad, oblong-lanceolate or 
elliptic, acute, or shortly and obliquely acuminate, rounded 
or cuneate at the base, scabrous on both surfaces, with 
stellate hairs, paler beneath, and with the midrib and veins 
hispidulous, teeth of serrate margins with callous tips;
