1 Iamamelidaceae. 

 C. glandiilifera, JTemd. (^sp. noi\) ; a speciebus omnibus noliis 



cognitis uovellis pilis glanduloso-capitatis inter pilos siuiplices longia- 

 sirnos parce praeditis differt, ceterum C, sjficalae arete affiuis, ab ea 

 petalis orbiculari-obovatis recedit. 



Frutex vel arbor parva. Folia (juniora ramulorum floriferorum 

 tantum visa) breviter petiolata, oblique ovato-oblonga, 2-5 cm. longa, 

 utrinque rotundataj supra parcissime pilosula cito glabrescentia, subtus 

 pilis loiigis sericeis appressis densis tardius deciduis et pilis paucis 

 ei'ectis glanduloso-capitatis subpersistentibus vestita ; venae primariae 

 utriaque circiter 7 crassae, in denies 2 mm. longos excurrentes. 

 JSlipiilae ramulorum floriferorum oblongo-orbiculares, circiter 

 ^ 14-16 mm. longae et 1 cm. latae, basi biauriculatae, extus 



glabrescentes, intus dense sericeo-hirsutis. Spicae laxae, graciles, 

 pauciflorae, cum pedunculo 5-7 cm. longae- Cahjx glaber, lobis ovato- 

 oblongis. Petala late obovato-spatbalata, apice rotuudata, circiter 

 6 mm. longa. Stamina petalis breviora. Kectaria complanata,

Fron^i the examination of fresh specimens and a more critical 

 comparison with the dried material at Kevv, I was led to the conclusion 

 that the specimens I had formerly referred to C splcata do not 

 belong to that species, and I described (GanL Chron, 1900, vol. i. 

 p. 18, f. 12) one species, partly from cultivated, partly from fresh 

 specimens, under the name of G. sin^.nsis. To C. sinensU belongs a 

 specimen collected at Kiukiang by Shearer, which is one of those I 

 referred to C spicata in the publication cited above, 



A specimen collected by Maries in the same district is my 

 C. qlandulifera. It is true that these species are closely allied and 

 very similar in aspect, but the floral structure, as illustrated in 

 plate 2820, affords distinctive specific characters. 



By an oversight the localities in which C. sinensis has been col- 

 lected \vere omitted from my account of the species in the ' Gardeners' 

 • Chronicle.* They are : Kiangsi ; Kiukiang, Shearer^ nO ; Faher^ 929.
