considered conspecific. The peduncle of A. moupinensis is 
however distinctly longer than that of A. Kaemp/eri and 
the perianth, although hairy, is less densely so. The 
material from which our illustration has been prepared was 
communicated by Messrs. Veitch, who kindly supply the 
information that the plant has proved quite hardy at 
Coombe Wood. It flowers there very freely, prefers a 
rather retentive loamy soil and grows best in a sunny 
position ; no pruning is required beyond the removal of any 
weak or decayed wood, In its native habitat, according 
to Pere David, it is found growing among shrubs.
