ULMACEAE. — CELTIS 269 



serta; rudimenta gynaecei parva; pedicelli breves, flavo-tomentelli ; flores 9 (v. ??) 

 ad apicem ramulorum axillares, plerique bini v. terni, a cf vix diversi sed gynaeceo 

 distincto normali ultra medium flavo-piloso instruct!. 



Here may be mentioned also a specimen collected by myself in Yunnan, be- 

 tween Yungning and Yung-peh-ting, near Lan-ti-cho, June 27, 1914 (No. 1667). 

 In the pubescence of the branchlets it resembles C. labilis, but the leaves are more 

 glabrous and show a somewhat different nervation. Unfortunately my material 

 comes from a sterile plant which had been nearly cut down. 



Celtis labilis is common on the margins of woods and in open country throughout 

 western Hupeh and eastern Szech'uan from river-level up to 1300 m. altitude. 

 It is a tree from 12 to 16 m. tall, with a straight trunk from 1 to 2 m. in girth, pale 

 gray smooth bark, and relatively thin branches which form a neat, more or less 

 oval crown. The species is easily recognized by the small fruit-bearing branchlets 

 which drop off when the globose orange-colored fruits are ripe. It is in cultivation, 

 but has not proved very hardy in this Arboretum. 



A picture of this tree will be found under No. 588 of the collection of my photo- 

 graphs and also in my Vegetation of Western China, No. 159. E. H. W.
