Centralasiatisches Gebiet, China: Prov. Sze ch'uan, Nan ch'uan (v. Rost- 

 horn n. 2129!). 



Nota. Est planta habitu peculiaris quoad flores, tarnen Pleione genuina. Bases sepalorum 

 lateralium paulum ultra insertionem productae mentulum formant rotundatura, paulo produc- 

 tius quam habemus in Pleione Wallichii; omnes ceteri characteres optime cum illis aliarum 

 specierum quadrant. — Botanicis novorum generum cupidis lubentissime recommendata.
