440 CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO VOLUME I 



Berberis subcaulialata (p. 369). Add as a synonjTn: Berberis Coryi Veitch, 

 New Hardy PI. China, 1913, 7. 



Berberis Vernae (p. 372). This species belongs to sect. Integerrimae Schneider 

 and as already said B. Caroli, var. hoanghoensis Schneider is a synonym of it. 



Berberis (p. 374). After B. Lecomtei may be added at the end of sect. Sinenses 

 the following new and still imperfectly known species: 



Beeberis virgetorum Schneider, n. spec. 



Frutex ad 1.8 m. altus, glaber; ramuli juniores ignoti, vetustiores cinerei, 

 paulo striato-angulati; spinae simphces, ad 2.5 cm. longae, rubro-brunneae, 

 subtus sulcatae. Foha ad 6 fasciculata, inaequalia, membranaeea, oblongo- 

 rhomboidea, utrinque sensim acutata, basi in petiolum ad 2 cm. longum producta, 

 minimis exceptis petiolo incluso 3.5-10 cm. longa et 1-2.8 cm. fere in medio 

 laminae lata, supeme intense viridia, subtus pallida, pruinosa, baud papillosa, 

 nervis paucis lateralibus plus minusve elevatis nervilUs invisibiUbus, margine 

 integra, interdum paulo vmdulata. Inflorescentiae racemosae v. subumbellatae, 

 3-10-florae, 2-2.5 cm. longae. Flores ignoti. Fructus immaturi oblongo-elliptici, 

 circiter 8 mm. longi et 3 mm. crassi, stigmate sessili; pedicelli 5-8 mm. longi, 

 bracteis parvis lanceolatis acuminatis 1-1.5 mm. longis suffulti; semen imma- 

 turum 1 (an ovula interdum 2), sessile. 



Kiangsi : Kuhng, thickets, alt. 1400 m., Julv 29, 1907 (No. 1517, type; shrub 

 1.2 -1.8 m. tall). 



This species is well marked by its rather large leaves and short racemes. Un- 

 fortunately there are no young branchlets, flowers or ripe fruits. It may be most 

 closely related to B. Lecomtei Schneider, but in its leaves it resembles somewhat 

 B. Tschonoskyana Regel from Japan. It differs from both in the shape of the 

 leaves, which are much smaller and obtuse in B. Lecomtei and are not distinctly 

 acute at the apex in B. Tschonoskyana, which has longer pedicels and inflorescences. 



Berberis brachypoda (p. 375). This species has to be regarded as the type of the 

 following new section: 



Sect. Brachtpodab Schneider, n. sect. 



Berberis, sect. Vulgares, subsect. Dasystachyae Schneider in Mitt. Deutsch. 

 Dendr. Ges. XIV. 1905, 115 (1906), exclud. B. dasystachya. 



Folia et plerumque inflorescentiae ramuhque pubescentes. Inflorescentiae spici- 

 formes, densiflorae. 



To this section also belongs B. Gilgiana Fedde (p. 375), of which B. pubescens 

 Pampanini in Nuov. Giorn. Bot. Hal. n. s. XVII. 273 (1910), is a synonym. 



Berberis (p. 375). After B. amurensis the following three species have to be 

 inserted which were not enumerated in 1913 for lack of sufl5cient material at that 

 time: 



Berberis Henryana Schneider in Bull. Herb. Baiss. ser. 2, V. 664 (1905); 1. c. 

 VIII. 261 (1908), exclud. specim. Giraldii Nos. 2303, 2310 et Wilsonii No. 3151. 



Ad descriptionem addenda v. emendanda: Frutex ad 2 metrahs v. ultra; ramuli 

 annotini flavo- v. atrobrunnei, vix purpurascentes, paulo sulcato-angulati, glabri; 

 spinae flavescentes, subtus sulcatae, 1-3-fidae, mediae ad 3 cm. longae. FoUa 

 ramulorum steriUum surculorumque satis variabiha, matura crasse membranaeea 

 V. fere chartacea, elliptica, elliptico-oblonga, late obovato-oblonga v. interdum 

 ovato-elhptica, apice pleraque satis obtusa v. subrotunda, basim versus satis subito
