As appears from my détermination table, this species bears much 

 resemblance to C. Forrestii; sometimes to C. Grijsii.— 



The Latin diagnosis of this species was formulated by me in the 

 foUowing terms: 



„Camellia Henryana nov. spec. - .Arbuscula 3-7 m. alta ; ramw// novelli 



„aeque ac gemmae dense adpresso-, dein erecto-pubescentes, pubescentia 



„diu rémanente, cortice brunneo. Folia ovata, longe acuminata (10-15 mm.) 



„basi latissima, arctius serrulata usque ad basin, 50-60 dentibus et 10 nervis 



„in utraque parte; subtus puberula, praecipue ad costam mediam; 9-10 cm. 



„longa, 4 cm. lata (in 4 foliis: 100 X 42, 85 X 30,85X40, 110X45 mm.). 



„Flores magni, expansi 4 6 cm.diametro, albi, odorati, erecti, vix pedunculati, 



..terminales, solitarii vel gemini. Sepala 9 (bracteis inclusis), persistentia, 



„glabra vel pilosiuscula, margine lato membranacea, ovalia, ca. 7 mm. 



Joiiga, 6 lata. Petala ca. 7, glabra, paulum emarginata vel apice rotundato, 



„30 mm. longa. 20-30 lata. Sfamina basi cum petalis in annulum connata, 



„glabra, ca. 12 mm. longa. Ovarium 3-loculare, glabrum, 1 mm. altum; 



"„styll 3 liberi, glabri, 10-20 mm. longi. Friictus 25 mm. diametro, 3-coccus, 



„loculicide dehiscens ut in C. theifera. Semina in loculis solitaria, angulata, 



„rugosula, atrobrunnea, 10-20 mm. diametro.
