L. Tangutica glabra, Batalin, 7. c. 171 (1895). 
China: Szechuen (Potanin! Pratt, no. 257, Henry, no. 
5561); Kansu (Potanin); Yunnan (Delavay, no. 2038). 
Tibet (Soulié, nos. 516, 189). — Plate 8. 
The only distinctions I can find between L. Tangutica 
var. glabra and L. Szechuanica are the generally smaller 
leaves and the somewhat shorter and wider corolla of the 
latter; the length of the filaments seems very variable.

Yunnan (Delavay, nos. 3814, 3808). — Sometimes culti- 
vated (Goettingen, Muenden). 
The specimens from Yunnan differ by longer somewhat 
leafy bracts, the hairy young branchlets and the broader 
obovate leaves. 
19. L. aemulans, spec. nov. 
Upright, apparently low shrub with slender, dark gray 
branches and numerous short often spurlike lateral 
branchlets; young branchlets glabrous except two longi- 
tudinal rows of minute hairs. Leaves obovate or oval, 
6-10 mm. long, obtuse or acutish, narrowed into a short 
petiole, sparingly and long ciliate especially toward the 
base, otherwise glabrous on both sides or occasionally with 
a few hairs above when young, dull green above and
