This is a very distinct species related to M. kayisucnsis with which it agrees 

 in the structure of the flowers, particularly in the 3 glabrous styles and the 

 triangular-ovate sepals, but the leaves are very different from those of 

 M. kausue7isis which are usually three-lobed or occasionally five-lo1)e<l, and 

 resemble those of M, yunnancsis Schneid. The i)lant might be descriJK^d 

 as having tlie leaves of M. yiuuwncjisis, but smaller and comparatively 

 liroader and acute, not acuminate, and the flowers of M. ka}isuc7isis. As 

 the mature fruit Is not yet known, it remains doubtful whether the calyx Is 

 deciduous or persistent. 



!\rr. Ilcrs notes lliree different vernacular names for this ])lant; for no. 

 222: " ta-yeh-mao-cha*' (harge hairy leafy Crataegus); for 57.S: "sung-h^- 

 cha'' (meaning doubtful, sung-lo being the classical name of an undeter- 

 mined vine, or as Bretschneider has It, a mistletoe); for nos. 489 and 725: 

 "mu-h'i-li '' (fox pear).
