however, which are preserved in the Kew herbarium, are 
undoubtedly specifically distinct from 7’, obovatum; but there are

in-1901. It was afterwards sent to Messrs. F. Sander & Sons by 
Mr. W. Micholitz, and was distributed by them under the name of 
C. Sanderi. The plant figured was presented to Kew by Messrs.

Veitch & Sons. The bark of the root is used in China as a drug.
