Kiangsi: Ruling, thickets, common, alt. 1200 m., July 28, 1907 

 (No. 1578; bush 2-3 m.); Kiukiang, E. Faber (No. 999). Western 

 Hupeh: Changlo Hsien, thickets, alt. 600-1000 m.. May 1907 (No. 

 3560; bush 1-2 m., flowers yellow). 



Wilson's and Faber's specimens agree well with Japanese plants of this species; 

 the upper surface of the young leaves is loosely covered with stellate hairs which 

 soon disappear; the pedicels of the flowers are only 1-1.5 cm. long. The sterile 

 specimen from Ruling approaches in its broadly oval leaves E. multiflora, f. 

 rotundifolia Servettaz.

Western Szech'uan: southeast of Tachien-lu, thickets, alt. 1200- 

 1800 m., September 1908 (No. 1076, type; bush 2 m. tall, fruit red); 

 same locality, alt. 1800 m., October 1910 (No. 4162; bush 2-3 m. tall, 

 fruit red). Western Hupeh : Patung Hsien, thickets, alt. 600-1000 

 m., May and October 1907 (No. 3558; bush 1.5 m. tall, fruit red) ; with- 

 out precise locality, A. Henry (No. 5484 ''). 



The specimens from Tachien-lu represent the type of this form. They look very 

 distinct on account of their long and narrow leaves rather light yellowish green 

 and glabrous or nearly so at maturity on their upper surface; the pedicels of the 

 fruits are very slender and 2-2.5 cm. long. The specimens from Hupeh differ in 

 their somewhat broader leaves scaly not stellate-pilose above; the pedicels of 

 their fruits are 2.5-4 cm. long.
