RUTACEAE. — EVODIA 129 



Here may be added a note on a Chinese species not collected during the Arnold 

 Arboretum Expeditions. 



Zanthoxylum multijugum Franchet, PI. Delavay. 124 (1889). 

 Zanthoxtjlum inultifoliolatum Hemsley in Hooker's Icon. XXVI. t. 2595 

 (1899). 

 Yunnan: Mengtze, woods and clififs, alt. 1500-1600 m., A. Henry (Nos. 9998, 

 9998% 9998*^, 9998" ; large cHmber). 



In describing this plant as a new species Hemsley apparently overlooked Fran- 

 chet's earlier description. With its long, narrow multifoliolate leaves this is a 

 most distinct species.

 out locality, A. Henry (No. 4577); " Ou-tan-scian," alt. 2090 m., 

 August 1907, C. Silvestri (No. 1218, fruit). 



This is one of the commonest trees in the moist woodlands of western Hupeh. 

 It is of medium size with smooth bark, moderately thick spreading branches and 

 brittle wood. The much-branched corymbose inflorescence is somewhat rounded; 

 the main branches are usually subtended by leafy bracts. The species is very 

 closely allied to Evodia meliaefoUa Bentham, which is a subtropical tree with 

 loaves less glaucous on the underside, smaller flowers and glabrous pistillodes. 

 Dode states that his E. Fargesii differs from E. glauca Miquel, and E. meliaefoUa 

 Bentham, in its glabrous pistillodes, but we do not find this to be the case. We 

 have several of the specimens cited by Dode and in all the pistillodes are pilose 

 as they are in the typical E. glauca Miquel from Japan.
