1. Rhanmus Henryi, Schneider, n. sp. 



Arbor ad 3.75 m. alta; ramuli initio sparse v. vLx pilosi, in sicco fusci, deinde 

 glabri, ut videtur nigrescentes; gemmae nudae, hirsutae. Folia altema, chartacea 

 (v. subcoriacea?), ovata v. ovato-oblonga, basi obtusa v. acuta, apice sensim acumi- 

 nata, margine indistincte crenato-dentata, dentibus brevibus distantibus callosis,

 nervis utrinque 8-12 prominulis, costa elevata pauUo glabrescenti, majora 11- 

 13.5 cm. longa, 4—5 cm. lata, minora (ramulorum floriferorum) 5.5-8.5 cm. longa, 

 1.7-3 cm. lata; petioli pilosi, superne sulcati, 9-18 mm. longi. Flores non vidi. 

 Fructus fasciculati in axillis foliorum minorum secundum ramos laterales plus 

 minusve elongatos qui ex axillis foliorum magnorum nascunt, pseudo-racemos 

 foliatos formantes v. in apice pedunculi nudi cymosi, rubri, obovales, circ. ad 7 mm. 

 crassi; pedicelli pilosi, circiter 5-6 mm. longi; semina 2-3, obovalia, laevia, olivacea, 

 basi paullo excisa, dorso leviter convexa, ventre fere plana, circiter 5 mm. longa. 



Yunnan: Mengtze, S. E. Mts., alt. 2800 m., A. Henry (No. 9185; tree 3.75 m. 

 tall; red fruit). 



Judging by the naked buds and by the seeds this species belongs to the subgenus 

 Frangula. As the material is rather scanty it is difficult to describe the inflores- 

 cence accurately but it certainly represents a very well marked species. 



2. Rhamnus crenatus Siebold et Zuccarini. See also page 232. 



There are three species, which may be very closely related to R. crenatus or 

 represent only varieties of it, namely R. oreigenes Hance in Jour. Bot. VII. 114 

 (1869); VIII. 312 (1870); R. pseudofrangula Leveill^ in Fedde, Rep. Sp. Nov. X. 

 473 (1912) and R. cambodianus Pierre apud Pitard in Lecomte, Fl. G6n. Indo- 

 Chine, I. 926 (1912). Of the last I have not yet seen a specimen, but from the
