564 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



Gardneria lanceolata is most nearly related to G. ovata Wallich which is easily 

 distinguished by its broader leaves, several-flowered peduncles and tetramerous 

 flowers with shorter and broader petals and shorter anthers of a different structure; 

 from all the other species it differs in its connate anthers. 



The structure of the androecium in this new species seems to show that the 

 combination of characters on which Raciborsld rehed, when he separated Pseu- 

 dogardneria from Gardneria proper, is not constant; for G. lanceolata has the con- 

 nate anthers of typical Gardneria, but they are two-celled and the flowers five-merous 

 as in Pseudogardneria. We have therefore retained Gardneria in its older and wider 

 conception.

This very distinct looking variety is much less common than the type and is 

 usually found at greater altitudes. The leaves in our specimen are very large 

 (9.5 cm. long, 4.5 cm. wide).^
