CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO VOLUME I 429 



Vitis reticulata Pampanini and V. reticulata Gagnepain refer to the same plant; 

 there is no apparent discrepancy in the descriptions and a leaf kindly sent by Dr. 

 Pampanini from his type specimen matches exactly the leaves of Gagnepain's 

 type. It is a rather peculiar coincidence that both authors chose independently the 

 same name for this plant. 



Vitis betulifolia (p. 103). Add the following specimens: 



Western Hupeh: Fang Hsien, alt. 1600 m., September 1907 (No. 291; 5 

 m., fruit black); without precise locality, April and May 1900 (Veitch Exped. 

 Nos. 2704, 792). Western Szech'uan: near Tachien-lu, thickets, alt. 1300- 

 2000 m., October 1908 (No. 1046*; 3-5 m., fruit black); west and near Wen-ch'uan 

 Hsien, alt. 2-2500 m., October 1910 (No. 4188; 3-7 m., fruit blue-black); Mt. 

 Omei, June 1904 (Veitch Exped. No. 4822).

Vitis spec. 



Kiangsi: Ruling, amidst rocks, rare, alt. 1000 m., August 1, 1907 (No.

This number is represented by sterile specimens only; it resembles V. pentagona, 

 var. bellula Rehder, but differs markedly in the dense short villose pubescence of 

 the upper surface of the leaves and of the petioles and branchlets. A. R.
