subsessile fls. : more or less woolly, especially below: Ivs. 

 all alternate, canescent beneath, short-petioled, Ivrate, 

 the terminal segm. large and oblong-obtuse with cre- 

 nate margins, the later segms. smaller and ovate; cau- 

 line Ivs. few, oblong and slightly clasping: fls. verbas- 

 cum-like, yellow, the five spreading lobes obtuse, 

 purple-hairy stamens deflexed and ascending. Crete.

CENTAUREA. Page 712. 



orientalis. Linn. (After Xo. 9.) Perennial, 3 ft., erect 

 and branching, the branches -sparsely cobwebby: Ivs. 

 coriaceous, glabrous or roughish, pinnatisect into 

 lanceolate or linear divisions: heads yellow-fld. (said to 

 be a red-fld. form), large, ovate; bracts of involucre pale 

 or colored at tip, the intermediate or outer ones ovate 

 and prominently pectinate. Caucasus region. A hand- 

 some species, with long-stalked heads. Centaurea is a 

 large genus, with many ornamental species, and other 

 kinds than those described in the Cyclopedia are likely 

 to come into the trade from tune to time as flower-gar- 

 den and border subjects.

japonica. It has been shown recently that Thun- 

 berg. when describing his Pyrus japonica, had the spe- 

 cies now called C. Maulei in mind: therefore the name 

 C. japonica, Lindl., must replace the name C. Maulei, 

 and the species called here C. japonica must bear the 

 name C. lagenaria, Koidzumi (Cydonia lagenaria 

 Loisel.); and C. caihayensis should be a variety of it: 

 Var. cathayensis, Rehd. (C. cathayensis, Schneid.). 

 Lvs. narrower, lanceolate, pubescent beneath while 

 young. Cent. China. H.T. 27:2657, 2658. Another 

 variety is: Var. Wflsonii, Rehd. Lvs. covered beneath 

 with a persistent fulvous woolly tomentum. W. China. 



C. Maulei, Schneid., becomes C. japonica, Lindl. 



CLEMATIS. Page 787. 



No. 14, C. nutans. Var. thyrsoidea is now considered 

 a distinct species and has been named: 



C. Rehderiana, Craib (C. nutans var. thyrsoidea, 

 Rehd. & Wilson). 



Xo. 28, C. montana, add: forma platysepala, 

 Rehd. & Wilson. A form of C. montana var. WUsonii 

 with broadly obovate, rounded or truncate sepals: 

 the fls. are "very round in shape and appear at the 

 same time as the Ivs. 



C. Gouriana in the Suppl. List (page 798), add: Var. 

 Finctii, Rehd. & Wilson. Achenes glabrous, orbicular- 

 ovoid and compressed, dark brown.

schizophylla, Mart. Trunk, 6-9 ft. high: Ivs. 6-9 ft. 

 long: segms. 30-40, linear, acuminate, 12-16 in. long: 

 spadix up to 3 ft. long: drupe orange-red. Brazil. 

 Described as a strong-growing species, useful for plant- 

 ing out in Fla. and Calif.

Waited, Wang. (After No. 13.) Tree, to 40 ft.: 

 branchlets nearly glabrous: Ivs. elliptic, acuminate, 

 broadly cuneate at the base, sometimes nearly rounded, 

 usually crisped at the margin, dark green above, pale 

 green and with appressed hairs beneath, with usually 

 4 pairs of veins, 2-4 in. long: panicle corymbose, about 

 3 in. across; style club-shaped: fr. black, about Y^an. 

 across. Cent. China. This plant has been confused 

 with C. Wilsoniana which is apparently not in cult, and 

 is chiefly distinguished by the whitish under side of the 

 Ivs. and the cylindric style. 



Hemsleyi, Schneid. & Wang. (After No. 14.) Shrub, 

 to 20 ft.: branchlets appressed-pubescent at first, 



becoming glabrous and reddish brown or purple: Ivs. 

 ovate to ovate-elliptic, short-acuminate, rounded at the 

 base, with 6-7 pairs of veins, whitish and appressed 

 pubescent beneath, often with brownish hairs along the 

 midrib and veins, 2-3 in. long: corymb umbel-like, 2-3 

 in. broad, slightly pubescent or with brownish woolly 

 hairs; style cylindric: fr. y^va.. across, bluish black. W. 

 China.

 12 ft., with glossy brown, sparingly spiny branches: 

 Ivs. broadly oval to orbicular, acute, rounded or some- 

 what cuneate at the base, incisely and coarsely toothed, 

 sparingly pubescent above, nearly glabrous beneath 

 except pubescent on the midrib and veins, about 2 in.

 serrate and slightly lobed above the middle, lustrous 

 and sparingly pubescent above, particularly on the 

 veins, glabrous below, l%-2% in- long: corymb gla- 

 brous; stamens 5-8, with purple anthers: fr. subglobose, 

 J^in. across, brown. Colo. 



saligna, Greene. (After Xo. 37.) Tree, to 20 ft., 

 with spreading or drooping branches, spiny; branchlets 

 bright red, glabrous: Ivs. rhombic-elliptic to rhombic- 

 lanceolate, acute or sometimes rounded at the apex, 

 cuneate at the base, slightly hairy and dark green above, 

 paler green and glabrous beneath, l%-2 in. long: 

 corymbs glabrous: fls. %in. across; stamens 20, anthers 

 yellow: fr. globose, blue-black, J^in. across, with 3-5

 vensis, Benth.). Herb; branches compressed, viscous-

 pubescent, tubular, ventricose below. Mex.-^-C. jorul- 

 lensis, Hook. B. M. 5232 =C. micropetala.

 Lehm. C.. Roezlii, Carr.). Shrubby; branches elongate 

 scabrous; Ivs. oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, base atten- 

 uate to a rather long petiole, both surfaces somewhat 

 shining, scabrous: calyx deflex-bowed, base obtusely, 

 viscous-pubescent, spurred. Mex.

nervdsum, Benth. Plant hairy-pubescent, to 3 ft., 

 perennial: Ivs. many, nearly sessile, elliptic or oblong, 

 acute, those on the st. 4 in. long and not prominently

 several pairs of strong nerves: fls. deep cobalt-blue, 

 about J^in. across, in many lax axillary and terminal 

 racemes which are 3-6 in. long; corolla broadly cam- 

 panulate with a short tube. Himalayan region. B.M. 

 7513, where it is said to be ''the largest-flowered 

 Himalayan Cynoglossum, and a very handsome 

 plant."

 brous: Ivs. shorter than the culm, linear, carinate:
