CHINA: Hainan; В. C. Henry! Tonexinc: Hanoi; Balansa 2184! 
The materia] of this species available is insufficient for complete description, but is sufficient to show 
that we have here to do with a quite distinct form. Mr. Drake del Castillo has suggested that 
it is а Stssoa; the point can only be settled when flowers are available for examination.

A very natural group of forms; indeed, it is doubtful whether the first two are more than varieties 
of one species. Most nearly related to the Ovatac, the Latifoliae deviate from these, and approach 
the group Sissoo among Podiopeta/a, in having very large epicalycine bracteoles.
