sections and species of the Chinese roses in which the foUowing 

 names are new: R. multiflora var. quelpaertensis n. var. (Korea), 

 with smaller, usually obovate leaflets rounded at the apex and 

 with smaller flowers. R. Gentiliana var. australis n. var. (Fonkien) 

 with narrower and smaller more or less curved leaflets and fewer- 

 flowered corymbs. R. odorata var. gigantea n. var. (Yunnan), the 

 wild form of the Tea Rose, with f. encbescens n. comb. {R. gigantea 

 f. enibescens Pocke). R. bella n. sp. (Shansi) seems most closely 

 related to R. Moyesii Hemsl. et Wils. which is a much more vigo- 

 rous plant with stout prickles, larger usually more acute leaflets 

 pubescent beneath, at least on the midrib, globose ovoid flower-buds 

 abruptl}^ contracted at the apex, larger flowers and pinnate sepals. 

 It ma}?^ also be compared with R. Sweginsotvii Koehne. R. bella f. 

 paltens n. f., differs in the pale color of the flowers. R. xaiithina 

 f. normalis n. f. (Shansi). To many of the species important remarks 

 are added regarding the cultivation, the origin of cultivated forms 

 and the occurrence in wild State. 



Rosaceae subfam. Prunoideae by A. Reh der. 



Maddenia and Prunus have been dealt with b}'^ Koehne in 

 Vol. I. Here some specimens not collected in the Wilson expedition 

 are mentioned. New name: Dichotomanthes tristaniaecarpa var. gla- 

 brata Rehder nov. var. (Yunnan) with glabrescent leaves. 



Celastraceae hy A. Rehder and E. Wilson. 



Celastrus glaucophylla n. sp. characterized by its relatively thick 

 and glaucous leaves, by its axillary clustered and short racemose 

 inflorescence and by its short stout pedicels. It is nearly related to 

 C. hypoleuca Warb., whis has thinner and smaller and much less 

 glaucous leaves, a usually terminal racemose inflorescence which 

 in fruit measures 6 to 15 cm., and slightly smaller fruit on slender 

 pedicels 1.5 — 4 cm. long. C. spiciformis n. sp., this plant is somewhat 

 intermediate in characler between C. angidata Max. and C hypoleuca 

 Warb. The former differs in its markedly angular browner and 

 more uniformly densely lenticellate branches, its much larger quite 

 glabrous leaves and especially in its erect, much branched pyra- 

 midal inflorescence. C. hypoleuca differs in its smaller, thicker leaves, 

 glaucous on the under side, longer pedicels, and in its rather longer 

 flowers with more acute cah^x lobes and petals. C. spiciformis var. 

 laevisn. var. distinguished by the perfectly glabrous under side of the 

 leaves. C. rugosa n. sp. characterized b}^ its bullate, coarsely toothed 

 leaves very prominently veined on the under side and by its axil- 

 lary C3^mes and terminal cymose panicles. It is allied to C. articidata 

 Thunb., which has shining smooth leaves in which the principal 

 veins are not raised and the fruits are in axillary cymes. C. articu- 

 lata var. cuneata n. var., distinguished by its rather small, short- 

 petioled obovate leaves which are rounded and truncate, usuall}" 

 Short cuspidat-e but often emarginate at the apex and cuneate at 

 the base. C Loeseneri n. sp. (C. artictdatus Hemsley pars; C. orbicu- 

 lata Loes pars) differs markedh' from C. articulata by the leaves 

 and the characters of the inflorescence. 



Following to the description of Wilson's specimens a key to 

 the determination of the Chinese and Japanese species is added. 

 Two new series are proposed 1. Paniculatae iC. dependens Wall., 

 C. paniculata Willd., C. angidata Max.), 2. Axillares (C. hypoleuca 

 Warb., C. glaucophylla R. et W., C. Franchetiana Loes., C. spicifor- 

 tnis R. et W.. C. rugosa R. et W.. C. articidata Thunb., C. Loeseneri 

 R. et W., C. Rosthornia}ia Loes,, C. gennnata Loes., C. HookeriPrain^
