I refer not without hesitation Wilson's No. 1733, which has only young fruit, to 

 this species of which I have not seen the type. It differs from the description in its 

 denser tomentum, even the mature leaves being densely grayish or whitish tomen- 

 tose beneath; otherwise the specimen resembles closely S. philadelphoides Perkins, 

 to which it seems to bear the same relation that S. dasyanthus, var. cinerascens 

 Rehder bears to typical S. dasyanthus Perkins.

With the material before me I am not able to separate the form of western China 

 from that of the southeastern provinces; the inflorescence is panicled in both 

 form ;, though the plate accompanying the original description shows a few-flowered 

 inflorescence. The western specimens, however, have generally somewhat narrower 

 leaves more cuneate at the base.
