288 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



Yunnan: Mengtze alt. 1700-2000 m., A. Henry (Nos. 10138, 10138*,

Stachyurus himalaicus is easily distinguished from the preceding species by the 

 narrower, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, finely serrate leaves and by the smaller flowers 

 with the style scarcely exceeding the petals. No. 2913 differs from the type in its 

 broader less finely serrate leaves, and No. 10138^ in its subpersistent leaves, the 

 flowering branches holding still part of the leaves. 



Stachyurus yunnanensis Franchet in Jour, de Bot. XII, 253 (1898). 



Western Szech'uan: Hung-ya Hsien, foot of Mt. Wa-wu, alt. 

 1300 m., September 13, 1908 (No. 2555). Yunnan: Mo-so-yin, gorges

Stachyurus yxmnanensis, var. pedicellatus Rehder, n. var. 



A typo recedit foliis grossius et remotius serratis et praecipue pedi- 

 cellis elongatis, ea fructuum immaturorum 3-5 mm. longis medio 

 articulatis, et racemis rigidioribus breviter pedunculatis. 



Eastern Szech'uan: Yung-yang Hsien, cliffs, alt. 1800 m., July 

 1910 (No. 4541)- 



This variety differs in its distinctly pedicelled fruits not only from the type of the 

 species, but also from the other species of Stachyurus which all have very short 

 stalked or nearly sessile flowers and fruits.
