Western Szech'uan: Mt. Omei, May 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 4904; shrub 

 up to 6 m. tall). 



This species seems to be most nearly related to I. chinensis Hooker & Amott, 

 the type of which was collected near Hongkong. It differs from the plant of cen- 

 tral China in its somewhat broader elliptic or obovate-elhptic leaves and in its dis- 

 tinctly puberulent ovaries. The Chinese and Indian species of the genus need a 

 thorough investigation. As I have aheady pointed out in my III. Handb. Laubholzk. 

 I. 396 (1905), /. chinensis does not occur in Assam, where it is represented by /. 

 khasiana Schneider, nor in Formosa, where /. Oldhamii Schneider (/. chinensis, 

 var. subserrata Maximowicz) takes its place. 



It may be mentioned that, according to the author's description, I. yunnanensis 

 Franchet (in Jour, de Bot. X. 268 [1896]) seems to be only a synonjrm of I. ilidfolia 

 OUver. C. S.
