554 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



of A. chinense. Other specimens with at least some of the leaves deeply lobed 

 are Nos. 3275, 1134, Henry's 7666, Hugh Scallan's specimen from Ki-san-scien and 

 from Lao-y-san and Giraldi's specimen from Po-uo-li. Henry's No. 10142" differs 

 in its very large broadly ovate leaves sparingly hairy on both sides and with con- 

 spicuous axillary tufts below. Wilson's No. 1646 from Kiangsi which is in young 

 fruit seems to be the most distinct form of all and may represent a new species; 

 it differs in its oblong-ovate, quite entire leaves, with 5-7 pairs of veins, in the 

 dense brownish pubescence of the short petioles and young branchlets and in the 

 darker reddish brown color of the mature branches.
