perigonii paulo angustioribus ad apicem extus pilosis; ovaria normalia apice ex- 

 cepto glabra, stigmatibus normalibus longis linearibus coronata; pedicelli (et

 petiolis 2-3-plo longiores. Fructus maturi ignoti. 



CHINA. Yunnan: Man-pan, red river bank, October 10, A. Henry (No. 

 10848, type in Herb. New York Bot. Garden; tree 5 m. tall; with flowers and very 

 young leaves and also with young fruits and older leaves; same No. in Herb. 

 Arnold Arboretum, with flowers and young leaves only). 



This species seems to be well distinguished from all the other species of this and 

 the first section. According to Henry's note the flowering branches were collected 

 in October and he says "cf and 9 flowers and young leaves (some old leaves)." 

 It may be closely related to C. cinnamomea Lindley (in Wallich, Cat. No. 3696 

 [nomen nudum] [1829]; apud Planchon in Ann. Sci. Nat. ser. 3, X. 303 [1848]), 

 the type of which has been collected by A''. Wallich in Assam, Silhet (No. 3696). 

 To this species seem to belong a flowering specimen collected by Lane from a tree 

 cultivated in Hort. Bot. Calcutta, April 26, 1899, and a specimen from Sikkim, 

 " reg. trop. alt. 3000 ped.," J. D. Hooker, with very young fruits. In both speci- 

 mens the 9 inflorescences are longer, bearing 3-5 flowers, the pedicels of which are 

 very short. The leaves of Hooker's specimen are " subtus siccitate cinnamomeis," 

 as said by Planchon. It is often confounded with Celtis tetrandra Roxburgh from 

 the Himalaya and C. Roxburghii Planchon (C trinervia Roxburgh, non Lamarck) 

 from Burma. The Indian species and also those of southeastern Asia need a care- 

 ful study. 



The species is named in honor of Pdre Auguste Salvat, a distinguished French 

 missionary, who was in charge of the French Catholic Mission at Tali Fu, in ap- 

 preciation of valued service rendered to me while I was staying in that town during 

 the autumn of 1914.
