 than Wilson's recently collected material. 



Lonicera pileata Oliver, var. linearis Rehder, n. var. 



Folia linearia v. lineari-oblonga, obtusa, membranacea, pallide viridia, 1-2.5 

 cm. longa et 2-4 mm. lata; corolla extus fere glabra, modice gibbosa; stamina 

 paullo exserta. 



Yunnan: Szemeo, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 11800). 



A very distinct variety, chiefly differing from the type in the very narrow, mem- 

 branaceous, light green leaves. 



Lonicera fragrantissima Lindley & Paxton, Flow. Gard. III. 75, fig. 268 

 (1852). 



Kwangtung: Ningpo, D. Macgregor. 



If this specimen has been really collected from a wild plant, as it appears to 

 have been, it would settle the question of its habitat, as L. fragrantissima has been 

 known only as a cultivated plant. 



Lonicera montigena Rehder, n. sp. 



Frutex erectus, circa 5 decim. altus, ramulis junioribus breviter pubescentibus 

 glandulis et pilis setosis reflexis interspersis. Gemmae acutae, 5-6 mm. longae, 

 pallide brunneae, perulis 2 exterioribus. Folia oblonga, acuta, basi late cuneata, 

 supra pilis laxe adpressis obtecta, subtus densius pilosa, utrinque insuper minute 

 pubescentia glandulosaque, 1.5 cm. longa et 0.5 cm. lata (nondum perfecte evo- 

 luta); petioli minute pubescentes, glandulosi, sparse hirsuti. Flores bini in pe- 

 dunculis brevibus nutantibus minute pubescentibus glandulosisque e basi inno- 

 vationum orientibus; bracteae orbiculari-ovatae, obtusae, 12 mm. longae, minute 

 pubescentes glandulosaeque marginem versus pilis longioribus instructae; bracte- 

 olae nullae; ovaria ovoidea, libera, 3 mm. alta, calyce cupuliformi dimidia ovaria 

 vix aequante ut apex ovariorum glandulis stipitatis et pilis paucis setosis histructo; 

 corolla infundibuliformis, 23 mm. longa, tubo gracili basi saccato supra medium 

 ampliato, lobis patentibus, late ovatis, 6 mm. longis, extus dense pubescens et 

 glandulosa, intus infra medium pilis sparsis brevibus praedita; stamina paullo infra 

 medium affixa, filamentis 3 mm. longis, glabris, antheris quam filamenta paullo 

 longioribus, oblongis, limbo paullo brevioribus; stylus glaber, corollam subaequans. 

 Fructus desiderantur.
