The very short branches furnished generally with two large pinnate 
leaves and the curious fruits ‘ shaped like a mushroom’ (A. Henry) 
are very remarkable. now no species which I can regard as 
closely allied to this one; perhaps it may belong to the group of 
Tt. pungens, Cambess, 
R. chiliadenus, Focke (sp. nov.). Ramuli florentes hirti glandulis 
stipitatis inequalibus longis atropurpureis aculeisque raris e basi 
latissima recurvis muniti. Folia ternata et quinato-pinnata ; stipules 
glandulisque confertis atropurpurea. Sepala 
in flore patentia. Petala sepalis longiora. Stamina stylos superantia ; 
filamenta filiformia. 
Longitudo foliorum cum petiolis 10-20, folioli terminalis 6-8 (latit. 
d 
4-5), pedicellorum 1 cm. ; diameter florum c. 1:5 em. 
Has. China. Prov. Hupeh, Dy. A. Henry (coll. No. 6009). 
Besides these new species, the last interesting collection sent by 
r. A. Henry contains several remarkable forms and varieties of other 
Rubi, and two well-known species, which he has found for the first 
time in China, v e Himalayan 2. Fockeanus, S. Kurz, and the 
Japanese R. peltatus, Maxim.—Dr. W. O. Focxe. |
