what ascending, prominent; petiolules stout, 2 to 5 mm long. 
Panicles about 30 cm long, appressed-pubescent with short hairs, 
the branches few, short, scattered, spreading, the lower ones 3 
to 4 em long, the upper gradually shorter. Flowers white, 
racemosely arranged on the primary branches, their pedicels 3 
to 5 mm long and jointed below the calyx. Mature buds about 
1.5 em long, cylindric, rather slender. Calyx glabrous or very 
slightly pubescent, truncate, broadly cup-shaped, 2.5 to 3 mm 
in diameter, about 2 mm long. Petals 4, glabrous except for 
the slightly puberulent apex, 2 to 2.5 mm wide above, rounded 
or obtuse, slightly narrowed below, united with the tube in its 
lower one-half. Tube cylindric, 12 mm long, the upper portion 
villous outside, inside sparingly villous, the apex divided into 
7 or 8 oblong, obtuse lobes which are in turn often cleft or di- 
vided, sometimes forming as many as [6 linear-oblong lobes, the 
lobes about 2 mm in length. Anthers oblong, 1.8 mm long, the 
connective slightly ciliate-villous. Disk truncate, glabrous, 
about 0.5 mm high, 1.5 mm in diameter. Ovary densely ap- 
pressed-villous; style about 11 mm long, densely appressed- 
pubescent.

This is the second species of the genus to be recorded from 
China and belongs in the group with Chisocheton paniculatus 
Hiern, from which it is distinguished especially by its inflores- 
cences being only about one-half as long as the leaves and by its 
truncate calyces. Among the several species described by Pierre 
from Cochin-China from fruiting specimens, cotypes of all of 
which are before me, it is apparently closest to C. thorelii.
