292 SPICILEGIA FLOR.E SINENSIS. 



(Nouv. Arch, clu Museum, i. 1.), to whose kindness I am indebted 

 for a vahiable series of named specimens. It is probably most 

 closely allied to L. Tchouoskii, Dene., which I have never seen. 



47. Convolvulus (Onjthocaulos) Ammanni, Desrouss. — In siccis 

 planitiei mongolica?, Sept. 18G7, coll. Dr. S. W. Williams ; in prov. 

 Chih-H, juxta fines orientales prov. Shan-si, aest. 1872, leg. rev. 

 J. Pierson ; prope lacum Ko-ko-nor, a. 1881, coll. W. Mesny. 



48. Mazus caducifer, sp. nov. — Estolonosus ? pihs brevibus 

 articulatis tomentellis, foliis obovatis v. oblongis basi cuneatim 

 angustatis grosse et insqualiter sinuato-dentatis v. lobatis obtusis 

 3-3^ poll, longis, caule a basi fere florenti, racemo stricto virgato 

 14-i5 pollicari circ. 50-floro, floribus erectis pedicello calyci ?equi- 

 longo basi bractea parva setacea sphacelata stipa^to fultis ebracteo- 

 latis, calycis 5-linealis valide costulati laciniis lanceolatis acutis 

 tubum aequantibus, corolla calycem duplo superantis labio supe- 

 riore bicuspidato inferiori aequilongo, capsula parva globosa pu- 

 bescente, seminibus ovoideis pallidis. 



In prov. An-hwei, juxta urbem Wu-hu, m. Maio 1881, coll. am. 

 T. L. Bullock. (Herb, propr. n. 21825.) 



A most interesting species, very distinct in habit, owing to its 

 narrow, strict, rod-like, many-flowered raceme, and also different 

 from the few others hitherto known by the elongated upper lip 

 of the corolla. 



49. Phtheirospennum chinense, Bge. — Juxta pagano Sai-ngan, 

 secus fl. Lien-chau, 210 m. p. ab m-be Cantone, d. 5. Oct. 1881, 

 coU. rev. B. C. Henry. Only known previously from the north 

 of the empire, and from Japan. 



60. Pedicnlaris [Longirostres, siphonanthcB) ! muscicola, Maxim. — 

 Juxta lacum Ko-ko-nor, a. 1881, leg. W. Mesny. 



51. Pedicnlaris [Longirostres, siijhonantha) , sp. nov. — Floribus 

 luteis iis P. chinensis, Maxim, aspectu simillimis, sed planta acaulis 

 videtur, coroll^que tubus bipollicaris, glaberrimus. Ad lacum Ko- 

 ko-nor, a. 1881, coU. Mesny. 



52. Elsholtzia {Eiielsholtzia) cristata, Wild. — In prov. Cantonensi, 

 secus fl. Lien-chau, 235 m. p. ab urbe, d. 8. Octobris 1881, leg. rev. 

 B. C. Henry. I have no other specimens from Southern China. 



53. Dracocephalum (Boguldea) nodulosuin, Kupr. — Ad lacum 

 Ko-ko-nor, a. 1881, leg. W. Mesny. The upper tooth of the calyx 

 is less wide, and the corolla, which I should suppose to be cream- 

 coloured, fully an inch long, but otherwise it agrees well with a 

 Turkestan specimen gathered by Kuschakewicz. 



54. Stachys (Stachgotgpiis, elata) modica, sp. nov. — Herbacea, 

 erecta, caulibus retrorsum pilosulis, foliis subsessilibus anguste 

 oblongis basi subcordatis v. obtusis apice acutiusculis crenatis 

 utrinque pilosus floralibus calyces adaequantibus, verticillastris dis- 

 cretis 6-15 floris in racemum 4-6-pollicarem digestis, calycis 

 campanulati pilosi dcntibus erectis spinosis, corollae sparsim 

 hirtellae calyce duplo longioris tubo breviter exserto. 



In prov. Sz-ch'uan, a. 1881, leg. E. H. Parker; circa Wu-hu, 



prov. An hwei, Maio 1881, coll. Bullock. (Herb, propr. n. 21916.) 



Nearest to the American S. hyssopifolia, Mx. ! which it resembles
