Castanopsis concolor Rehder & Wilson, n. sp. 



Arbor circiter 10-metralis (ex Henry); ramuU glabri, dense minute lenticellati; 

 gemmae ovoideae, compressae, obtusae, perulis biseriahbus puberulis. Folia cori- 

 acea, ovato-elhptica v. oblongo-lanceolata, acuminata, basi late cuneata saepe ob- 

 liqua, vix rotundata, supra medium dentibus paucis remotis parvis mucronulatis 

 instructa, raro Integra, 5-11.5 cm. longa et 2-4.5 cm. lata, utrinque glaberrima et 

 fere concoloria, supra nitida, costa utrinque leviter elevata, nervis utrinsecus 8-9 

 leviter curvatis et ante marginem dissolutis supra obsolete prominulis subtus 

 distinctius sed leviter tantum elevatis, subtus venulis leviter reticulatis; petioU 8-15 

 mm. longi, glabri. Flores non visi. Spica fructifera circiter 6 cm. longa, rhachi 

 valida glabra; fructus biennes subglobosi irregulariter et obsolete 2-3-lobati, 2.5- 

 3 cm. alti et crassi; involucrum crassum, dehiscens, extus tomentosulum, echinatum 

 aculeis crassis conicis 2-4 mm. longis fasciculatis et in seriebus concentricis irregula- 

 riter curvatis dispositis; glans 1 (semper?), puberula. 



Yunnan: Yuan-chiang, alt. 2300 m., A. Henry (No. 13342, type); Mild,

The fruit of this new species is similar to that of C. armata Spach, which is 

 probably the species nearest to it, but in that species the branchlets are pubescent, 

 the leaves thinly coriaceous and entire, with prominent veins below.
