where these two species have been reported from turned out to be S. 

 Fritschiana. As the difference between the two recognized forms of this 

 species, the type with the leaves sparingly pubescent beneath and the var. 

 angulata with the leaves quite glabrous, is very slight, I have not kept 

 these forms separate here. The glabrous form seems to be the more 

 common; to the pubescent type belong the following specimens: Zimmer- 

 mann's no. 382 and Cowdry's no. 584 from Shantung, Hers* no. 1379 

 from Honan and Giraldi's specimens from Kan y san and Kin ten san, 

 while the others belong to var. angulata Rehd.
