Hetcrosmilax Gaudickaudii Maxim, ex Hers, in Jour. N. China Branch 

 R. As. Soc. liii. Ill (1922) ; Liste Ess. Lign. Honan, 14 (1922), is probably a 

 mistake; there is no Heterosmilax Gaudichaudiana Maxim, in the collection 

 sent by Mr. Hers to this Arboretum and it is very doubtful if the range of 

 that species extends as far north as Honan.
