I have little doubt that the Lindera spec, from the Lau shan cited by 

 Gilg and by Loesener is identical with Meyer's specimen from the same 

 locality. Hers 1 nos. 629 and 2313 from near Haichow, Kiangsu, differ 



from typical B. glaucum in their narrower leaves slightly silky beneath 

 when young, glabrous at maturity, and in the short glabrescent pedicels 



of the flowers appearing in few-flowered sessile umbels.
