THE ACE AE. — TERNSTROEMIA 397 



The Chinese Stewarlia is very common in bush form on the deforested Lushan 

 range around KuUng. It is a small and rare tree in the forests of western Hui)eh 

 and has not been reported from western Szech'uan. Stewartia sinensis is now in 

 cultivation, having been raised from seeds Wilson sent to England in the late 

 autumn of 1901.

This plant is very rare in Kiangsi and apparently does not reach western Hupeh. 

 The leaves on the Kiangsi specimen are acute or even short acuminate and agree 

 closely with others from Hongkong. In size they show some approach to the var. 

 Wightii Dyer.
