Premna (p. 372). At the end of the genus insert the following two new species: 



Premna subcapitata Rehder, n. sp. 



Frutex metrahs; ramuU teretes, homotini dense patenti-villosi, annotini tarde 

 glabrescentes, fusci, vetustiores cinereo-fusci. FoUa membranacea, ovato-oblonga, 

 acuminata, basi rotundata, basi apiceque exceptis dentato-serrata, 3.5-6 cm. longa 

 et 1.5-2.3 cm. lata, supra obscure luteo-viridia, subaccumbenti-pilosa, subtus 

 molliter dense villosa, nervis utrinsecus 4-5 angulo angusto divergentibus et ad- 

 Bcendentibus ut costa supra impressis et subtus elevatis f uscescentibus ; petioli 

 dense patenti-villosi, 0.5-1 cm. longi, oppositi saepe inaequales. Inflorescentia 

 terminaha in apice ramulorum lateralium patentium, capitato-corymbosa, subsessi- 

 lis V. pedunculo ad 1 cm. longo suffulta, villosa, circiter 2 cm. diam.; pedicelli 

 brevissimi; flores virescentes; calyx turbinatus, circiter 4 mm. longus, fere ad 

 medium 5-partitus lobis lanceolatis, villosus; corolla bilabiata et 4-lobata, circiter 

 6 mm. longa, extus pilosula et glandulosa, labium posticum rotundato-ovatum 

 tubo paulo brevius ut videtur concavum (flores nondum perfecte aperti tantum 

 exstant), anticum trilobum, postico brevius lobo medio late ovato, lateraUbus 

 similibus, sed duplo minoribus, tubus fauce villosus; stamina 4, exserti; stylus 

 staminibus longior; ovarium glandulosum. Fructus desideratur. 



Western Szech'uan: without precise locality, cliffs, alt. 1200 m., June 1903 

 (Veitch Exped. No. 3761). 



This species seems to be most closely related to P. pinguis Clarke and P. pro- 

 cumbens Moon, but is easily distinguished from both by the smaller and narrower 

 densely pubescent leaves and by the deeply divided calyx. 



Premna urticifolia Rehder, n. sp. 



Frutex metralis; ramuli teretes, palUde fusci, homotini sparse villosuli. Folia 

 membranacea, ovata, acuminata, basi cordata, dentato-serrata, 5-8.5 cm. longa 

 et 3-6 cm. lata, supra obscure viridia, sparse scabrido-pilosula et punctuhs impressis 

 minutis notata, secus costam et nervos villosula, subtus paulo paUidiora, initio secus 

 nervos crispulo-villosula, demum fere glabra, minute impresse reticulata et punctu- 

 lata, utrinsecus nervis 4-5 adscendentibus, ut costa et nervi tertiarii supra impressis 

 subtus elevatis; petioli 1-3.5 cm. longi, oppositi saepe inaequales, supra dense 

 crispo-villosuli, ceterum sparse villosuU. Inflorescentia corymbosa, densa, 2.5- 

 3.5 cm. diam., brevior quam lata, pedunculata pedunculo 1-1.5 cm. longo ut ramuli 

 et pedicelli breves v. brevissimi villosulo; calyx fructifer cupularis, breviter sinuato- 

 dentatus, circiter 4 mm. longus et latus, fere glaber; flores non visi. Drupa obo- 

 voidea, 4-5 mm. longus, purpureo-nigra, putamine osseo, 3-4-loculari. 



Yunnan: Szemao, alt. 1600 m., A. Henry (No. 13389). 



This species belongs to the same group as the preceding species, but differs from 

 it in the glabrescent leaves and the sinuate-dentate calyx; from P. pinguis Clarke 

 it is easily distinguished by the glabrescent stems, the smaller leaves and the pe- 

 duncled corymb, and from P. procumbens Moon by the broader ovate leaves and the 

 peduncled corymb. The minute impressed dots on the under side of the leaves I 

 have not seen in any other species except in the African P. Schimperi Engler. Both 

 new species, P. subcapitata and P. urticifolia, resemble in their general appearance 

 certain species of Viburnum of the section Odontotinus. 



Clerodendron japonicum (p. 377). According to Makino (in Tokyo Bat. Mag. 

 XVII. 91 [1903]) Clerodendron Kaempferi Siebold in Verh. Batav. Genoot. XII. 

 51 {Syn. PI. Oec. Jap.) (1830) is a synonym of Firmiana simplex W. F. Wight, but 

 we do not think that this view is correct; Siebold apparently merely confused the 

 Japanese names.
