240 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



1.8-3 m., bark rough and splitting longitudinally; with fruits and not 

 yet fully grown leaves); same locality, woods, alt. 1800 m., May 28, 

 1907 (No. 2802; tree 13 m. tall, girth 2.4 m.; sterile with young leaves, 

 older parts of the branches somewhat corky). 



By the fruits this variety cannot be separated from the type, but the shape of the 

 leaves is more obovate-oblong. Unfortunately I have seen no mature leaves, but 

 there is a sterile branch collected by C. Silvestri in northern Hupeh " Fan-sien, 

 circa 800 m. s. m.," May 20 and June 3, 1906 (No. 360), which may belong to var. 

 psilophylla. It can be described as follows: Ramuli foliiferi flavo-brunnei, basi 

 minutissime puberuU, ceterum glabri, lenticellis sparsis obtecti, vetustiores cine- 

 rascentes, laeves. Folia pleraque ovato-elliptica, basi rotundo-truncata v. sub- 

 cordata paulo asymmetrica, apice subito breviter acuminata, supra scabra, tantum 

 costa nervisque pro parte tenuissime piiosula, subtus in sicco vix pallidiora, plus 

 minusve scabra, tantum axillis nervorum lateris longioris (imo apice excluso) 15-18 

 elevatorum barbulata, margine duphciter serrata serraturis primariis subincurvis ; 

 petioU satis tenues, superne pilosuli, 3-6 mm. longi.
