CELASTRACEAE. — EVONYMUS 493 



This species seems most nearly related to E. nana Marschall-Bicberstein which 

 is easily distinguished by its alternate or whorled leaves and by the longer pe- 

 duncles; E. Przewalskii Maximowicz and E. Semenovii Kegel & Herder differ in 

 their larger and broader leaves and slender peduncles.
