€%°2 621. Berberis (Sinenses) Stapfiana, C. Schneider [Berberidaceac] ; 
affinis B. subcaulialatae, C. Schneider, sed ab ea differt foliis mino- 
ribus, fructibus ellipticis minoribusque; a B. Wilsonae, Hemsley, 
et B. Fineti, C. Schneider, ramulis glaberrimis diversa. 
rutex parvus, glaberrimus, ramosissimus ; rami fructiferi nigro- 
purpurascentes vel nigrescentes, divaricati, plus minusve angulati ; 
spinae normales, 3-fidae, graciles, acutissimae, brunnescentes, subtus 
distincte sulcatae, mediae ad 1°3 em. longae, laterales vix minores. 
vel paullo pruinosa, distincte papillosa, utrinque distincte anguste 
reticulata, minora 7 : 2, majora ad 22: 4-5 mm. magna, in petiolum © 
brevissimum attenuata. Inflorescentiae quam folia majora breviores, 
fasciculato-racemosae, 4-7-florae, leviter pruinosae. Pedicelli 3-4 
longi, basi bracteis duobus late ovatis acutis 6 mm. longis 
a. 
Crna. Grown at Kew from a plant received from Les Barres, 
Vilmorin, No. 4039; from seeds from the Arnold Arboretum, 
Jamaica Plains, Mass., Wilson, 1284 (seed number); and from 
Messrs. Veitch & Sons, Welson, 1560. 
The above description was drawn up by Dr. Schneider from a 
specimen of Vilmorin, 4039, sent to him from Kew, where it was 
ance, and it looks very like B. subcaulialata, C. Schn., but this 
species has somewhat larger leaves and globose fruits. B. Wilsonae, 
B. aggregata and B. Fineti differ from the new one by distinctly 
puberulous branches and in some other respects. B. elegans, 
C. Schn., recedes by its stalked corymbs and different reticulated 
leaves.
