A specim-eu was received from Colonel S. R. Clarke, C.B., 



. Borde Hill, Cuckfield, Sussex, who stated that it was of Chinese 



origin, and believed that it represented '•' Wilson, 958. '^ The 



plant was matched with specimens collected by Wilson in 1903, 



which approach H. Maxim owiczii, but differ in certain minor 



points. Since the male and female flowers of R. Maximoiviczii 



were so far unknown, it has been deemed desirable to describe 

 , them m detail.
