STAPHYLEACEAE. — EUSCAPHIS 187 



shan, rare, May 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 3358; tree 10 m. tall). 

 Yunnan: Mengtze forests, alt. 2300 m., A. Henry (No. 10220"). 



This handsome plant is common in western Hupeh and eastern Szech'uan but 

 is rare in western Szech'uan. It is easily distinguished from the type by the char- 

 acters given above. Occasionally the leaves are pinnately 5-foliolate. The speci- 

 men from Yunnan is less hairy and perhaps should be referred to the type of the 

 species. The Wa-shan form has exceptionally large flowers and seeds.

This tree which is of medium size and has tough wood occurs sparingly on Mt. 

 Omei and in its neighborhood. In Yunnan it is apparently common. It seems 

 to differ from T. pomifera De Candolle only in its much smaller fruits and ciliolate 

 petals and is possibly onlj^ a variety of that species.
