nifolia Pamp. non ßatalin), Northern Hupeh; W. effusa n. sp., 

 Yunnan and West. Szechuan, possibly it is only a glabrous form 

 of W. dolichmüha. W. Bodinieri Lev. belongs to Apocynaceae 



Daphne acutiloba n. sp., related to D. odora Thunb. D. Wilsonii 

 n. sp. The branching in these two species is usually sympodial 

 with most of the older inflorescences apparently lateral on the 

 branches, while in D. odora it is dichotomous with the old inflores- 

 cences in the forkings of the branches. D. Wilsonü 'differs from D. 

 acutiloba in the yellowish strigose branches, the longer tube and 

 the shorter lobes of its flowers and the larger lustrous dark brown 

 seeds. D. modesta n. sp., similar to D. gemmata Pritzel. D. penicil- 

 lata, not closely related to any other, easily recognized by the ge- 

 nerally oval glabrous or nearly glabrous leaves, the lower with a 

 peculiar taillike appendage at the apex, by the glabrous 5-merous 

 flowers with long narrow lobes nearly equalling half the tube, and 

 by the large densely pubescent winter-buds. An analytical key to 

 the Chinese forms contains: D. odora var. atrocaiilis n. var., D. 

 papyracea var. crassiuscula n. var., D. atigustiloba n. sp., well cha- 

 racterized by its narrow, glabrous leaves, the glabrous 5-merous 

 flowers and by their narrow lobes often nearly half as long as the 

 tube. D. leiico)ieura n, sp., characterized by its thin light green 

 rather large leaves marked with conspicuous white veins and by 

 the peduncled head of yellow flowers. The whole plant is quite 

 glabrous except the winter buds. D. leuconeura var. Mairei Lev. et 

 Rehder n. var. D. rosmarinifolia n. sp.

Acanthopanax. A. leucorrhinus var. fiilvescens n. var. and var. 

 scaberulits. To section Euacanthopanax belong: A. Giraldii var. iner- 

 rnis n. var., A. Wilsonii Harms n. sp., distinguished from A. penta- 

 phyllus Miq. by the terminal inflorescence, by the styles being 

 connate only at the base, by the narrower leaflets and by the 

 bristle like prickles. A. Rehderiamis Harms n. sp., closely related to 

 A. Wilsonii, but the stouter solitary infrastipular prickles, the broader 

 leaflets with more crenate serration, the shorter peduncles and the 

 connate styles distinguish it at once. From A. pentaphylliis, with 

 which it agrees in its prickles and in the connate styles it differs 

 chiefly in its terminal short-stalked inflorescence. A.villostiltis^A.<i.rvci^ 

 n. sp., closely related to A. spinosus Miq., but differs from it in the 

 villose underside of the leaves. A. lasiogyne Harms n. sp., resembles 

 A. sessilißorus Seem. in its woolly flowers, but is easily distinguished 

 from it by the longer pedicels and the nearly free or only partly 

 connate styles. A. stenophyllus Harms nov. sp. (Purdom Coli.), cha- 

 racterized by its comparatively narrow leaflets. 



Kalopanax and Pentapanax no new forms. 



Aralia Wilsonii Harms n. sp., apparently closely related to A. 

 chinensis L., but easily distinguished by the glabrous inflorescence 

 and the glabrous leaves bright green on their under side.
