“China :—Ghi Shan, east of Tali Lake, Yunnan. Lat. 25° 
40’ N. Alt. 7ooo ft, Tree of 30-40 ft. In open thickets, in 
fruit. Aug. 1914.’ G. Forrest. No. 13,5209. 
In many points this species comes very near E. yunnanensis, 
Franch., which I have not seen. It is described as a small shrub 
of 3-4 feet. Besides the arboreal habit, E. decora differs in the 
shorter but broader leaves, broadly cuneate at the base. Both 
plants are found near Tali. Unfortunately for purposes of close 
on Delavay’s specimen is in flower only, Forrest’s in 
ruit.
