368 WILSON EXPEDITION TO CHINA 



Eastern Szech'uan: "Shou-tzu-p'ing," A. von Rosthorn, August 1891 (No. 

 293). 



This variety differs chiefly in its smaller and narrower leaves very gradually nar- 

 rowed into the petiole, in the denser pubescence and in the somewhat longer antlers. 



Callicarpa Giraldiana, var. subcanescens Rehder, n. var. 



A typo receclit indumento omnium partium densiore, ramulis juniori- 

 bus pube farinoso fasciculato-piloso obtectis, foliis supra sparse et 

 minute fasciculato-pilosis subtus densius praecipue in nervis et venu- 

 lis fasciculato-pilosis, cymis et calycibus densius fasciculato-pilosis. 



Western Hupeh: without precise locality, A. Henry (No. 5864, 

 type). Kiangsi: Ruling, thickets, not common, alt. 1200 m., July 

 31, 1907 (No. 1528; bush 1.6-2 m. tall, with immature fruits). 



This variety differs from the type in the denser pubescence of all its parts; the 

 leaves are loosely covered on the whole under surface with rather long fascicled 

 hairs. The leaves of Henry's specimens are comparatively narrow, elliptic-oblong 

 to elliptic-lanceolate, the larger ones not exceeding 3.5 cm. in width, while those of 

 Wilson's No. 1528 are mostly elliptic or obovate and up to 6 cm. broad.

Shantung: Tsingtau, 1911, R. Zimmermann (No. 210). Widely distributed in 

 Japan and Korea. 



The specimen cited above is the only one referable to the typical form of this 

 species I have seen from China, and on account of its rather small leaves it 

 resembles somewhat C. dichotoma K. Koch. It presents, however, the chief char- 

 acters by which C. japonica can be distinguished from that species, as the perfectly 

 terete branchlets, the long-acuminate leaves with spreading teeth, the strictly 

 axillary inflorescence, larger flowers and the longer anthers opening at the apex by a 

 pore.
