This is very likely identical with Photinia pustulata Lindi.. Lindle¥'s 

 original description is not accessible to me. The only description of this species 

 is that mentioned in Walp. Rep. II. \^. 57 : " Foliis olwvato-lanceolatis acutis 

 basi cuneatis, supra medium sen-atis, Irevibus, utrinfj[ue glabris; corymbis calvis 

 niultifloiis ; ramidis pustulatis. — In China ad Cantonem." So far as are 

 concerned the characters given in tlie above descrijition, our plant may be 

 identical with P. pustulata ; yet it may, at tlie same time, not be the same, 

 ragarding other characters not mentioned in the descri^ition. In such a case, 

 it will be the best way to describe our plant as exhaustively as possible and to 

 give it a jirovisional uame, so that any one who is familiar with P. pustulata, 

 in tracing my descrijition, might find no difficulty to decide at once whether 

 my species is distinct from or identical with the former. Our jilant does not, 

 however, agi-ee with the description given in Schneider's Handb. Laubliolzk. 

 I. p. 710, which is as follows. " Zw. und Blst. dichtwarzig ; B. derblederig, ca. 

 8:4 cm., eifg., beidendig zugesjiitzt, kahl ; Stiel ca. 8 mm ; Frst ca. 6 cm. Dm., 

 Fr. elliptisch, 9:6-7mm." Fruits of our plant are not elli2)tical but rounded, 

 nearly 7 mm. in diameter.
