This new species, the description of which was sent to me by Mgr. Leveille to- 

 gether with a specimen, seems most closely related to W. ligustrina Rehder, but is 

 readily distinguished by the narrower leaves of firmer texture, pubescent on both 

 sides and revolute at the margin, by the pubescent inside of the perianth and by 

 the hnear sohtary disk scale at the base of the pubescent ovary. The pubescence 

 chiefly present on the 8 longitudinal veins inside the tube of the perianth is a rather 

 unusual character in the genus; all Chinese species I have examined are perfectly 

 glabrous on the inner surface of the perianth.
