same as Seed No. 768»; see also Bull. U. S. Dep. Agr. Bur. PL Industr. No. 127, 

 29 [1909] under No. 21969; this number has been distributed as Albizzia chinensis 

 Meyer or sp. of. stipulacca *); Chifu, garden, September 22, 1903, C. S. Sargent. 



The specimens before me agree well with the descriptions given by Prain and 

 Gagnepain. A. lebbek (Linnaeus) Bentham seems to be entirely absent from central 

 and northern China. C. S. 



Cercis chinensis (p. 87). Add the following number:

 1300 m., September 1908 (No. 3376; climber 3 m. tall). 



Bauhinia yunnanensis (p. 89). For "Veitch Exped. No. 3378" read "Veitch 

 Exped. No. 3401." 



Bauhinia (p. 90). Insert after B. hupehana, var. grandis: 

 Bauhinia spec. 



Western Szech'uan: valley of Min River and regions around Mao-chou, alt. 

 1300-2000 m., 1908 (No. 3375; bush 0.3-2 m., flowers white). 



Gleditsia sinensis (p. 91). Add the following numbers:

 (No. 1364; tree 10-26 m. tall, girth 1.25-4 m.); southeast of Tachien-lu, valley 

 of Tung River, alt. 1300-1500 m., November 1908 (No. 1364"; tree 16 m. tall,

These specimens differ from the others in their larger fruits which are 25-30 cm. 

 long and 2.5-3 cm. wide, while those of the other numbers are about 15 cm. long 

 and 2 cm. wide. 



Sophora (p. 96). After S. flavescens insert: 



SoPHORA GLAUCA Leschcnault, var. albescens Rehder, var. nov. 



A typo recedit foliohs obtusis v. leviter emarginatis rarius acutiuscuhs et mucro- 

 nulatis, floribus albidis. 



Western Szech'uan: near Wa-shan, side of streams, alt. 600-2000 m., June 

 and October 1908 (No. 1179, type; bush 6 ft. tall, flowers white); southeast of 

 Tachien-lu, stony places, alt. 1300 m., May 1908 (No. 2562; bush 1-1.3 m. tall,

 (Veitch Exped. No. 3391; decumbent shrub, 0.6 m. tall). 



Wilson's No. 3391 differs in the acutish mucronulate leaflets and in the less 

 dense pubescence of the whole plant. Whether Henry's No. 10720 from Yunnan 

 and the specimens from the same province enumerated by Franchct {PI. Delavay. 

 188 [1889]) belong to this variety or to the typical species, I am unable to state, as 

 the color of the flowers is unknown to me. A. R. 



Piptanthus nepalensis (p. 99). The Chinese plant has been separated from typi- 

 cal P. nepalensis under the following name: 



Piptanthus concolor Harrow apud Craib in Gard. Chron., ser. 3, LX. 289 

 (1916). 



* This apparently refers to A. siipulata Boivin, a tropical species absent from 

 China.
