Western Hupeh: north and south of Ichang, much cultivated, 

 30-800 m., June and November 1907 (No. 2521; tree 6-20 m. tall). 



This valuable tree is largely cultivated at low altitudes in western Hupeh 

 and Szech'uan and in the autumn the leaves assume most brilliant tints. In Hupeh 

 it is colloquially known as the Mou-tzu shu and as Ch'uan-tzu shu in Szech'uan. 

 An account of the pi'oducts of this tree is to be found in my A Naturalist in Western 

 China, II. 67 (1913). Pictures of it will be found under Nos. 389, 442, 483, 0372 

 of the collection of my photographs and in my Vegetation of Western China, Nos. 

 467, 468, 469. E. H. W.
