TREES AND SHRUBS-DECIDUOUS 



Styrax obassia was introduced to this country through Charles Maries, 

 and flowered for the first time at Coombe Wood in June 1888. 



TETRACENTRON SINENSE, Oliver. 



Hooker's Ic. PI. t. 1892. 



The representative of a new genus of the Magnoliaceae, first discovered 

 by Dr. A. Henry in Hupeh, and subsequently introduced to cultivation 

 from the same locality through Wilson : in the native habitat a tree 

 20 to 50 ft. high, with alternate ovate-elliptic leaves, serrate along the 

 margin. 



The flowers minute, on drooping spikes 4 to 6 in. in length, of singular 

 botanical interest, are of little value from a horticultural standpoint. 



TILIA HENRYANA Szy. 



Jour. R.H.S. 1903, vol. xxvii. p. 66. 



A species named in compliment to Dr. A. Henry, somewhat resembles 

 Tilia Tuan, but has broader leaves and a different inflorescence. 



Raised from seed collected in Central China, the Lime has proved 

 quite hardy. 



TILIA MIQUELIANA, Maxim. 



Bean in Gard. Chrou. 1895, vol. xviii. p. 766 ; Gard. and For. 1893, p. 113, fig. 19. 



Introduced through Charles Maries from Japan, where it forms a 

 common forest tree on the hill slopes in the north island, often attaining 

 a height of 100 ft. 



TILIA MIQUELIANA, Maxim., var. CHINENSIS, Szy. 



Hooker's Ic. PI. t. 1927. 



A form of the type first met with by Dr. A. Henry in the Province of 

 Hupeh, Central China, and later introduced to cultivation from the same 

 locality.

Discovered in Central China, and seed received at the same time by 

 Messrs. Veitch in 1900. 



The leaves heart-shaped, unequal at the base, shortly acuminate at 

 the apex, have unequally serrate margins ; glabrous on the upper surface, 

 covered beneath with a white tomentum.
