380 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



11008 from Yunnan belongs apparently to this species and not to A. arguta, where 

 Dunn placed it.

Actinidia polygama has been much confused with A. kolomikta Maximowicz, 

 though it is easily distinguished, even without leaves, b}'' the large solid white pith 

 of its branches, while A. kolomikta has lamellate brown pith, a character which 

 had passed entirely unnoticed until Professor E. Koehne in a letter dated March 24, 

 1899, drew my attention to this remarkable difference in the pith of the two 

 species; this observation I subsequently published in 1903 in Mitt. Deutsch. Dendr. 

 Ges. as quoted above.
