Lonicera Ferdinandii Franchet, var. leycesterioides Zabel in Mitt. 

 Deutsch. Dendr. Ges. XVII. 189 (1908). 



Lonicera leycesterioides Graebner in Bot. Jahrb. XXXVI. Beibl. LXXXII. 100 

 (1905). 



WesternSzech'uan: thickets, Nin-tou-shan, west of Kuan Hsien, 

 alt. 3000 m., June 1908 (No. 1874); Mong-kong-ting, June 1908 (No. 

 1876); northeast of Sungpan, thickets, alt. 2400 m., August 1910 

 (No. 4479). 



The chief difference between this variety and the type lies in the generally 

 larger, more oblong-ovate leaves, their softer pubescence, the narrower bracts and 

 the less setose corolla. 



As I have stated before (Rhodora, XI. 210), the section Vesicariae proposed by 

 Komarov and adopted by me in my Synopsis of the genus must be united with the 

 Chlamydocarpi; the cupula is not adnate to the base of the calyx, only firmly ad- 

 hering by matted hairs, and splits at maturity disclosing the bright red berries.
