This species has several characters in common with C. muUiJlora^ 



2820, ff. 10-13), including fleshy, 



truncate 



Hance (tab. nostr. 

 nectaries, and a thick-%yalled ovary. It has elongated, lateral flowering 

 branches bearing one adult leaf, as well as young leaves concealed by 

 the large stipules. In C. midtijlora the flowering branches bear about 

 three adult leaves, as well as young ones. 



Corylopsis Wilaoni and (7, multifloray Hance, dilier from the other 

 Chinese and Japanese species in having one or more developed leaves 

 on the lateral flowering branches in addition to the undeveloped ones, 

 which are more or less concealed by their large stipules at the time 

 that the flowers expand. They also differ from the others in the large 

 stipules of the flowering branches being very hairy on the outsido, and 

 in having thick, truncate nectaries. C. rnrniipitr^nsisj Hems], (hujus
