Corylopsis is a genus of six species of shrubs, natives 
of the Hastern Himalaya, China, and Japan. It is 
closely allied to Hamamelis, of which there are two species, 
one, the N. American “ Witch Hazel,” H. virginiana, 
L. (tab. 6684), the other Japanese, H. japonica, Sieb. & 
Zuce. (tab. 6659). One species of Corylopsis has been 
figrred in this work, C. spicata, Sieb. & Zuce. (tab. 5458) 
which differs from C. pauciflora in the much larger leaves, 
longer, many-flowered racemes, and longer petals; it is 
also a native of Japan. 
The figure of C. pauciflora is made from a plant pro- 
cured from Messrs. Veitch & Sons, which flowered in the 
Temperate House of the Royal Gardens, Kew, in March of 
the present year. It is a native of Japan, whence there 
are specimens in the Kew Herbarium, from Yokohama, in 
the Island of Nipon, collected by Bisset and Dickins, and 
from Kisurio, near Nagasaki, in the island of Kiusiu, by 
Maximovicz.
