“West China :—Salween Valley, Yunnan, on scrub. Lat. 
25° 10’ N. Alt. 3000 ft. Scandent plant of 4-5 ft. Flowers 
deep crimson. Aug. 1914.”. G. Forrest. No. 13,158. 
“‘ Shweli-Salween divide, Yunnan, on scrub in thickets. 
Lat. 25° 30’ N. Alt. 7000-8000 ft. Scandent plant of 10-15 ft. 
Flowers red. July—Aug. 1918.’ G. Forrest. No. 17,645. 
This Yunnan species is very like T. maculata, Lace from the 
Ruby Mines District of Burma. The leaves, bracteoles, and the 
structure of the flower, especially the stamens, are very similar. 
The Yunnan plant differs chiefly in the crimson or red flowers 
(instead of white or yellowish white) without conspicuous spot- 
ting, and in the pronounced lobing of the calyx which is glabrous. 
The lobing of the calyx is not so regular nor so prominent as 
in T. fragrans, Roxb., but it is much more pronounced than in 
the scarcely toothed ring which is found in the section Meyenia.
