Western Szech'uan: Mupin, thickets, alt. 1300-1700 m., June, 

 September and October 1908 (No. 884). 



A very distinct species apparently related to S. officinalis Linnaeus and more 

 closely to the preceding species, but easily distinguished from all allied species by 

 the small more or less dentate leaves, the smaller flowers and smaller fruits. Styrax 

 Wilsonii is in cultivation, and three year old plants flower and fruit freely when 

 hardly a foot high. It will be figured in the July number of the Botanical Magazine.
