Fagara mengtzeana Hu in Jour. Arnold Arb. v. 228 (1924). 



I at first overlooked that Zanthoxylum multifoliolatum Hemsley is syn- 

 onymous with Z. multijuga Franchet. Hence this new combination.

Berchemiella crenulata, comb. nov. 



Chaydaia crenulata Handel-Mazzetti in Akad. Anz. Akad. Wiss. Wien, 1921, 

 no. lcS (PL Nov. Sin. cont. 12, p. 5) (1921), 



The genus Berchemiella was separated from Chaydaia Pitard byT.Nakai 

 in Bot. Mag. Tokyo, xxxvii. 31 (1923). It differs from Chaydaia in 

 having a paniculate to fasciculate-racemose inflorescence, turgid disk 

 embracing half of the ovary and a deciduous style-base. From Handel- 

 Mazzetti's description the above species is a Berchemiella and not a Chay- 

 daia according to Nakai's definition. Hence the new combination.
