Wilson's No. 1861 and 1862 from Western Szech'uan differ from the type in 

 their shorter less saccate corolla and also in the less pubescent and generally broader 

 leaves, those of 1861 resembling f . Wilsonii.

Western Hupeh: summit of W6n-tsao Mt., Hsing-shan Hsien, 

 thickets, not common, alt. 2700 m., May 1907 (No. 1865). 



The specimen differs from the typical f . Wilsonii in its smaller leaves, generally 

 only 1.5 cm. long.

 gust 1907 (No. 183); alt. 2400-2700 m., September 1910 (No. 4415). 



One of Wilson's specimens with unripe fruits fortunately had a single pair of 

 apparently belated flowers, which gives me the opportunity to add here the de- 

 scription of the flowers, hitherto unknown. Flowers on slender upright peduncles 

 sparingly pilose or glabrous; bracts linear-lanceolate exceeding the minute and 

 indistinctly toothed calyx; bractlets wanting; corolla tubular, 10-12 mm. long, 

 slightly gibbous above the base, glabrous outside, sparingly hairy inside below the 

 stamens; lobes orbicular-ovate, about 1.5 mm. long, upright; stamens inserted 

 somewhat above the middle, filaments very short, anthers oblong, 3 mm. long, not 

 reaching the base of the limb; style exserted, very sparingly pilose below the middle.
