 tibus, ramis ramulisque teretibus, laevis, ramulis 1 mm dia- 

 metro; foliis oblongo-ovatis, membranaceis vel subchartaceis, 

 olivaceis, 5 ad 7 cm longis, 2 ad 4 cm latis, acutis vel leviter 

 acuminatis, basi obtusis vel subrotundatis, nervis utrinque 4 

 vel 5, tenuibus, distantibus, reticulis obsoletis vel subobsoletis, 

 supra glabris, subtus ad costa parce adpresse pubescentibus, 

 vetustioribus glabris ; petiolo 2 ad 3 mm longo, adpresse pubes- 

 cente ; cymis in axillis superioribus, circiter 3 cm longis, tenuiter 

 pedunculatis, sublaxis, plus minusve adpresse pubescentibus;

Yik Tsok Mau, Ng Chi Leng, and Nor Tai Shee, McClure 

 9710 (type), 8606, May 18, 1922, and December, 1921, and 

 Hongkong Herbarium U5 Chinese collector, July 26, 1893, dis- 

 tributed as Rauwolfia. In forested ravines, altitude about 600 

 meters. 



The first representative of the genus to be found in China, 

 well characterized by its small leaves and flowers. In details of 

 its flower it agrees closely with the characters of Epigynum, 

 and I think is correctly placed here.
