This variety seems to differ from the type only in its narrower leaves and might 

 be considered a mere form of C. japonica if it did not occupy a different geographical 

 area. From narrow-leaved glabrescent forms of C. Giraldiana it is easily distin- 

 guished by the oblong anthers opening by a pore at the apex, and by the smaller 

 longer-stalked inflorescence. It has little relation to the true C. longifolia Lamarck 

 (Encycl. Meth. I. 563 [1785]; Tab. Encycl. Meth. I. 293, t. 69, fig. 2 [1791]), which is 

 a southern species and has according to Lamarck's description and figure narrow- 

 lanceolate glabrous leaves about 25 cm. long and a longer-stalked larger inflorescence. 

 Hemsley's C. longifolia, var. ? longissima (in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 253 [1890]. — 

 Hayata, Icon. Fl. Formos. II. 125, t. 36 [1912]) represents apparently this species; 

 Hance's No. 4956, which I have before me, agrees perfectly with Lamarck's figure, 

 and has the leaves perfectly glabrous except a short pubescence on the midrib and 

 on the veins on the upper surface. 



Here may be added the description of a new variety from Korea and remarks on 

 three species not collected during the Arnold Arboretum Expeditions. 



Callicarpa japonica, var. luxurians Rehder, n. var. 



A typo recedit ramulis plus minusve pallide lenticellatis, foliis majoribus ovato- 

 ellipticis v. ovatis acuminatis basi late cuneatis v. e basi rotundata subito in petio- 

 lum productis dentatis dentibus triangularibus v. latissime triangularibus 10-18 

 cm. longis et 4.5-10 cm. latis, petiohs 1-2.5 cm. longis, peduncuhs petiohs pauUo 

 brevioribus. 



Korean Archipelago: Quelpaert "in insula Septlum," May 28, 1908 and 

 July 31, 1910, Taquet (Nos. 912, 4092, type), " in insula Pemtlum," June 7, 1910, 

 Taquet (No. 4097), "in sylvis Hallaisan," September 1909, Taqxiet (No. 3083). Liu- 

 kiu Islands: Oshima, July 1900, U. Faurie (No. 4047). Kyushu: without pre- 

 cise locality, C. Wright. 



This variety with large membranous leaves up to 18 cm. long is apparently only a 

 luxuriant form owing its origin to the moist subtropical climate of the islands where 

 it grows.
