Yunnan : Mengtsze, mountains, southwest, alt. 1500m., A. Henry (Nos. 9070% 

 9070^, co-types, 13682); Szemao, mountains, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (Nos. 11696% 

 11696*^, 11696*^; shrub 2-3 m. high, flowers with disagreeable odor). 



This species is very near C. fissa Rehder & Wilson, and resembles it in the leaves 

 and in the flowers so closely that flowering specimens of the two species are almost 

 indistinguishable. The fruits, however, are very diff'erent; in C. fissa the cupule 

 is ovoid and encloses nearly the entire nut, leaving only a very small opening at 

 the apex, while in this species the cupule is cup-shaped and covers only one-half or 

 two-thirds of the nut and its scales are much more distinct. C. calathiformis forms 

 thus a transition to Pasania as regards the shape of the cupule, but in all other 

 characters it shows a closer relation to Castanopsis.
