RUTACEAE. — TODDALIA 137 



This species resembles P. japonicum Maximowicz in the pale pubescence which 

 covers the lower surface of the leaflets, but is distinguishable from it by its larger 

 fruit on shorter and much stouter pedicels in narrow very compact panicles. The 

 type is Wilson's No. 1972 of the Veitch Expedition which I have not seen.

This variety of which Wilson collected only specimens of the staminate tree, 

 is distinguished by the less pubescent under surface of the leaflets which are often 

 nearly glabrous except along the midribs and veins. 



The bark of P. chinense is used by the Chinese in medicine under the name of 

 huang-peh. A picture of a tree of the variety glabriusculum (No. 3228) will be 

 found under No. 350 of Wilson's collection of photographs and also in his Vegeta- 

 tion of Western China, No. 333. 



A Phellodendron raised in Veitch's Nursery as Evodia sp. from seeds collected 

 by Wilson (No. 876, Veitch Exped.) at Changyang Hsien in western Hupeh, at 

 altitudes between 1500 and 2300 metres, and now growing in the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, is probably an undescribed species, although the cultivated tree has not 

 yet flowered. I have not seen a Chinese specimen. The young branches are light 

 orange-brown and lustrous; the leaves are 9-11-foliolate, without hairs on the 

 margins, and are villose below along the midribs and veins with rather long white 

 hairs, the unusually slender veins being largely within the parenchyma.
