 ley in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 395 (1891). 



Roumea chinensis Wallich ex Meisner in De Candolle, Prodr. XIV. 538 (pro

Daphne Mazeli Carriere in Rev. Hort. 1872, 392, t. 



Daphne odora, var. Mazeli Hemsley in Gard. XIV. 442, t. (1878). 



Tji^ical D. odora does not seem to occur wild in China. Daphne triflora Loureiro 

 is probably the same as D. Mazeli and D. japonica which represent only an 

 abnormal form with axillary smaller inflorescences below the terminal one, as 

 they occur also occasionally in other species, e. g., in D. papyracea WalUch and 

 D. aurantiaca Diels. 



Daphne odora, var. atrocaulis Rehder, n. var. 



Daphne odora Hemsley in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 395 (pro parte) (1891), quoad

A typo recedit floribus extus sericeis, bracteis caducis, ramulis atropurpureis. 

 Floribus extus sericeis ad var. kiusianam accedit, sed diflfert bracteis deciduis, 

 ramulis atropurpureis.
