Purdom's no. 17 from Weichang is very similar to S. media var. 

 sericea in its leaves which on the flowering branchlets are elliptic oblong and 

 only dentate at the apex but it shows the umbellate flowers, the upright 

 calyx-teeth and rather shorter stamens of S. pubescens. Hers' nos. 

 749 and 779 from Hwei hsien, Honan, resemble in their firmer reticulate 

 leaves S. hirsnta Bl., but the inflorescence is glabrous and the leaves are 

 rather small.
