This plant is common as a shrub from 2-6 m. tall and wide on hills in the neighbor- 

 hood of the city of Kiating and on the lower slopes of Mt. Omei. The sepals are 

 usually slightly hairy on the outside as described by Don (1. c). Two specimens

 as Eurya chinensis belong here. Dyer (1. c.) has referred specimens so named to

Western Szech'uan: hills around Kiating City, October 1903 (Veitch Exped. 

 No. 3278; bush 1-2 m.); Mt. Omei, April 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 4768; bush 

 6 m.). Yunnan: Mengtsze, A. Henry (No. 9021); Szemao, mountains, alt. 

 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 10914^). 



In our specimens of this variable plant the bracts and sepals are sparsely hairy 

 without and the styles though virtually free are united at the very base. In one 

 specimen they are entirely free. In Henry's No. 10914*^ the ovary is sparsely 

 strigose. This plant is very common at the base of Mt. Omei.
