Tamarix gallica, ^ chinensis Ehrenberg in Linnaea, II. 267 (1827). 



Tamarix indica Bunge in Mem. Sav. Etr. Acad. Sci. St. Petersbourg, II. 102 

 (Enum. PI. Chin. Bor. 28) (non Willdenow) (1833). — Maximowicz in 

 Mem. Sav. Etr. Acad. Sci. St. Petersbourg, IX. 471 (Prim. Fl. Amur.) (1859). 



Western Hupeh: Hsing-shan Hsien, cultivated, alt. 600-900 m., 

 July 1907 (No. 2350; bush 3 m. tall, flowers blush); same locality, 

 river-side, June 1906 (Veitch Exped. No. 2197; bush 1.25 m. tall). 

 Chili: near Tien-tsin, October 4, 1907, F. N. Meyer (No. 399). 

 Fokien: Amoy, 1845, R. Fortune (No. 103). 



In western Hupeh this species seems to be only cultivated or occasionally to 

 have escaped from cultivation; Wilson's No. 2197 collected on the river-side being 

 probably an escape according to Wilson himself. 



The two following species not collected during the Arnold Arboretum Expedi- 

 tion are only occasionally cultivated in central and western China.
