CAPRIFOLIACEAE. ABELIA 127 



11. Abelia tereticalyx Rehder, n. comb. 



Linnaea tereticalyx Graebner in Bot. Jahrb. XXIX. 130 (1900). 



China: Szech'uan: Tibet frontier, alt. 3000-4500 m., A. E. Pratt (No. 136). 



Of this species I have seen only a specimen of Pratt's No. 136 without fully de- 

 veloped flowers. It seems closely related to A. Schumannii, but differs in the 

 smaller flowers and in the narrower leaves.

I have seen no specimen of this species. According to the descriptions the differ- 

 ences between this and the following seem very slight and both may belong to the 

 same species.
