CASTANOPSIS HAINANENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta, ramulis et subtus foliis minute pu- 
berulis; ramis teretibus, lenticellatis, fusco-cinereis, ramulis 
tenuibus, sulcatis; foliis coriaceis, oblongis ad oblongo-obovatis, 
8 ad 12 cm longis, 3 ad 5 cm latis, basi acutis, apice obtusis vel 
rotundatis, margine distanter apiculato-serratis, supra in sic- 
citate pallidis, glabris, subtus fusco-pallidis dense sed minutissime 
puberulis, nervis utrinque 10, perspicuis; petiolo circiter 1 cm 
longo; fructibus solitariis, globosis, usque ad 4 cm diametro, 
spinis numerosissimis rectis tenuibus subulatis parce tomentosis 
1 em longis fasciculatis obtectis; nuculis solitariis. 
Between Namfung and Hong Ma Tsuen, McClure 8300, 
December 3, 1921. In thickets near villages, altitude 400 meters. 
Local name yui muk. 
A species belonging in the group with Castanopsis indica 
DC. and C. clarkei King but differing in numerous characters. 
Among the Chinese species perhaps most closely allied to C. 
jucunda Hance. The very numerous spines entirely obscure 
the outside of the fruit, but are borne in fascicles which are 
either sessile or on very short tubercles. The pericarp is ad- 
herent to the involucre.
