C. Kusanoi Hay., C. Esqiiiroliana Lev., C flagellaris Rupr. The Ihird 

 (old) series is: 3. Sempervirevites Max. with: C Hinclsii Benth,, C. 

 monosperma Roxb., C cantonensis Hance, C. Benthamü R. et W. 

 n. comb. (Catha BeiitJiamii Gardn. et Champ., Celastnts Championii 

 Benth.). 



A large number of species described as Celastnis, listed on 

 p. 358, are excluded froni the genus. 



Gymnosporia and Pewottctia are represented by the wellknown 

 older species G. variahilis Loes. and P. racemosa Loes, 



Elaeocarpaceae by A. Reh der and E. Wilson. 



Elaeocarpiis omeiensis n. sp. (Western Szech'uan), apparently 

 most closely related to E. sevratus L., which has rather differently 

 shaped leaves much less attenuate at the base, larger flowers, 

 longer, acuminate, reddish sepals, prominently bearded anthers 

 and a more abundant villose tomentum on the ovary. E. lanceaefo- 

 lius Roxb. differs in its much more coriaceous, differentl}^ shaped 

 leaves and longer racemes. Sloanea Henisleyana n. comb. {Echwo- 

 carpits sinensis Hemsley non Hance, E. Hemsleymnis Ito, 5. Hau- 

 ceana Hemsl. pars.), vS". assamica n. comb. [E. assaniicus Benth.), 

 5 sterciiliacea n. comb. {Elaeocavpea Griff., Echivocarpns sterculiacea 

 Benth.), S". tomentosa n. comb. {E. tomentosa Benth.). 



Tiliaceae by A. R e h d e r and E. Wilson. 



Tilia nobilis n. sp., this species has the largest leaves of the 

 Chinese Lindens and is apparently most closely related to T. chi- 

 nensis Max. T. intonsa Wilson n. sp., also related to T. chinensis 

 but well distinguished by its hairy shoots. T. oliveri var. cinerascens 

 n. var., distinguished b}' the gray not white under surface of its 

 leaves, the pubescence is more loosely tomentose; the leaves are 

 distinctly serrate with broad, Short teeth. T. tuan var. chinensis n. 

 var., diilers from the type by its gray tomentose shoots and its 

 densely pubescent winter buds. T. [aetevivens n. sp. (Kansu) mar- 

 kedly different from all other Chinese species.

Dilleniaceae by A. R e h d e r. 



Actinidia pitrpurea n. sp. related to A. argiita Miq. which is 

 chiefly distinguished by the broader leaves lustrous above and more 

 strongly serrate with spreading teeth; by the larger flowers and by 

 the greenish yellow subglobose fruit; also related to Ä. melanandra 

 Franch. A. venosa n. sp. {A. callosa forma D. Dünn), closel5^ related 

 to A. callosa Lindl. which is easily distinguished b^»- the more 

 elliptic or oblong leaves usually broadly cuneate at the base, with 

 fewer, usually 5—7 pairs of lateral veins and with less prominent 

 veinlets on the under surface, by the glabrous sepals and inflores- 

 cence, the white flowers and by the smaller brown pith of the 

 branches, Clematoclethra lasioclada var. gvandis n. comb. (C. grandis 

 Hemsl.), C. lanosa n. sp. seems most closely related to C. cordifolia 

 Franch., which differs in its smaller and broader cordate leaves, 

 sparingly setose on the midrib beneath, in its short nearly glabrous
