Flowered in the collection of Sir W. T. Tliiselton-Dyer, 



K.C.M.G., Tlie Ferns, Witeombe, Glos., in June, 1914, when 



flowering specimens were sent for determination, with the infor- 



laation that ihe plant was obtained from China througli Sir 



Ihomas Hanbury, La Mortola. Fruits were sent in tlie following 



^ovember. It is allied to R. Sinowilsoni, HemsL, and the Indian 



R- lo7igwuppis, Bert., but is readily distinguished by its smaller 



more numerous fruits, narrower sepals,- and the iar<?er fewer 

 leaflets. '='
