86 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



On the Himalayas thds is a large tree, but it is quite possible that on cliffs in 

 China it may flower as a shrub. 



In addition to the species mentioned, the following numbers probably represent 

 two species, but there are no leaves except very young ones, and I think it best 

 not to attempt to describe them.

 m., May 1907 (No. 3685; bush 3-4 m., male flowers yellow).
