Buddleia madagascariensis Hance in Jour. Bot. XX. 37 (non Lamarck) (1882). 



Western Hupeh: Ichang, cliffs, etc., alt. 30-600 m., March 1907 

 (No. 844; bush 1-2.5 m., flowers lilac, orange eye, fragrant); same lo- 

 cahty, March 24, 1908 (No. 4005) ; Ichang and neighborhood, March 

 1900 (Veitch Exped. No. 155); without locality, A. Henry (Nos. 1117, 

 3110, 7884). 



In western Hupeh and in Szech'uan this is a common shrub in rocky places up 

 to 1000 m. altitude. It is very floriferous, fragrant and ornamental. 



Buddleia stenostachya Rehder & Wilson, n. sp. 



Frutex 2-3-metralis ; ramuli hornotini leviter quadrangulati v. fere 

 teretes, tomento floccoso albido dense obtecti. Folia membranacea, 

 lanceolato-oblonga v. lanceolato-ovata, longe acuminata, basi cuneata, 

 12-20 cm. longa et 3-6 cm. lata, plerumque crenato-serrata dentibus 

 mucronulatis, rarius fere Integra, supra obscure viridia, glabra v. fere 

 glabra, subtus tomento lanuginoso albido dense obtecta, costa ve- 

 nisque supra impressis subtus elevatis; petioli tomentosi, 8-10 mm. 

 longi. Paniculae plerumque tres in apice ramulorum, lateralibus saepe 

 terminali longioribus, anguste cylindricae, 15-45 cm. longae et 2-5 

 cm. diam., tomentosae, e cymis congestis paucifloris breviter pedun- 

 culatis compositae; flores subsessiles; calyx 2.5-3.5 cm. longus, extus 

 tomentosus, dentibus ovato-lanceolatis acutis erectis; corolla lilacina 



437 ex Gagnepain) ; Szemao, forests, alt. 1500 m., A. Henry (No. 12214; shrub 1 m., 

 flowers Ulac). 



Henry's specimen seems to differ slightly from the type of this species which 

 we have not seen; the calyx does not reach quite to the middle of the corolla-tube, 

 the leaves are slightly narrower and somewhat sinuately dentate and the inflores- 

 cence is shorter, not exceeding 4 cm. in the specimen before us. Buddleia yunnanen- 

 s^is seems most closely related to B. Lindleyana Fortime, but is easily distinguished 

 from that species by its shorter straight corolla, by the larger calyx reaching about 

 to the middle of the corolla tube and by the dense and short inflorescence.
