LOGANIACEAE. — BUDDLEIA 571 



Western Szech'uan: west and near Wen-ch'uan Hsien, Min 

 Valley, roadside thickets, alt. 1300-1600 m.. May 25, 1908 (No. 3353); 

 same locality, alt. 1300-2100 m., August 1908 (No. 3359); same 

 locality, 1300-2000 m., October 1910 (No. 4389); vicinity of Tachien- 

 lu, thickets, alt. 1300-3800 m., July and August 1908 (Nos. 3357, 

 3351); vicinity of Tachien-lu, dry regions, Tung Valley, alt. 1300- 

 2000 m., October 1910 (No. 4403); Mupin, thickets, alt. 1600-2000 

 m., July and October 1908 (Nos. 3354, 1351*); without precise locality, 

 alt. 2500 m., July 1903 (Veitch Exped. No. 4119). 



This variety is much more widely distributed than the type and is readily dis- 

 tinguished by its usually solitary terminal panicle and much larger flowers attain- 

 ing 5 mm. in diameter; the leaves are usually pubescent above and vary in size 

 and are sometimes nearly entire, coarsely serrate or sinuately-toothed. The 

 young branches are often nearly square. Very rarely the primary panicle is sub- 

 tended by one or two short lateral panicles whereas in the type there are always 

 several panicles clustered at the ends of the shoots. In No. 3354 the peduncles 

 of the cymes are unusually long and in consequence form a rather lax caudate 

 panicle. No. 3357 differs in having short calyx-teeth. It is possible that more 

 than one variety should be distinguished in the above numbers but all grada- 

 tions are present. No. 4119 is one of the specimens quoted by Dop for his B. 

 macrostachya, var. yunnanensis. 



Here may be added the following species from Yunnan:

This species is apparently most closely related to B. longifolia Gagnepain, which 

 differs chiefly in the tube of the calyx being as long as its obtuse teeth, in the pedi- 

 cellate flowers, the pedicels equalling the calyx, in the larger corolla and broader 

 inflorescence. It is also related to B, macrostachya VVallich, but that species is
