This species is nearly related to B. (jlahrlfilum, J. J. Smith, differing therefrom 

 principally in its much shorter and stouter corolla-tube. It also has affinities with 

 B. Vonromeri, Koorders, but the flowers are smaller and the corolla-tube is relatively 

 longer.

Ehododendron callichilioides, Wernham, sp. nov. 



Frutex verisimiliter repens, glaber. Folia verticillata, coriacea, lanceolata vel ovata, 

 longe acuminata, acuta, basi rotundata, 9-15 cm. x 2*5-4 cm., utrinque glaberrima, 

 margine revoluto ; venae nisi centralis subtus j^rominens vix manifestae ; petiolus 

 ad 1 cui. longus, validus, supra applanatus. Flores rosei, majusculi; pedicelli

 tubus 1'6 cm. longus, basi lobatus, in ore ad 1'5 cm. latus; lobi obovati, apice 

 rotundati, ad 2'5 cm. longi X 15 cm. lati. Filamenta desuper conspicue argenteo- 

 villosa. Ooarium argenteo-pubescens, 6'5 mm. longum, stylum subaequans. 

 Camps III to VI a, 2500 to 3100 ft. 



Near II. Wentianum, Koorders, differing especially in the much longer corolla- 

 tube. Still more closely related, apparently, to the recently-described B. angulatmi, 

 J. J. Smith; but our species has much smaller flowers.
