SPECIES OF DIDYMOCARPUS. I5I 
breviter inaequaliterque cordata, grosse irregulariterque serrata, 
supra areolata, nervulis distinctis, pilis in medio areolarum agegre- 
gatis (ut in Didymocarpo Burket sed multo minus evidenter), 
infra praesertim in nervis nervulisque pilosula ; nervi primarii 
utrinque g-1o. Inflorescentiae cymosae multiflorae longe pedun- 
culatae, 1-3 in axillis foliorum superiorum ortae, folia inferiora 
aequantes ; pedunculi circ. 8 cm. longi subrigidi glabri, iterum 
atque iterum divisi ; pedicelli circ. 5 mm. longi graciles ; bracteae 
2 cm. longae oppositae suborbiculares glabrae. Calyx 2 mm. 
longus, 1-5 mm. latus, fere ad imum in lobos ellipticos obtusos 
fissus, glaber. Corolla circ. 1°5 cm. longa, glabra, in sicco pur- 
purea ; tubus cylindricus 1°4 cm. longus, 2°5 mm. latus, superne 
paululum ampliatus ; lobi valde inaequales rotundati. Stamina 
duo inclusa supra medium tubum inserta antheris cohaerentibus ; 
staminodia nulla. Ovarium lineare breviter stipitatum pubescens 
in fructu glabrescens, disco brevi cylindrico instructum. Fructus 
immaturus 1°8 cm. longus, linearis. 
China:— Yunnan, Szemao; fromforests at 4000ft.; pink flowers; 
Henry 12463, in Herb. Kew. A species very closely allied to 
the Burmese Didymocarpus Burket, and evidently the equivalent 
of that species in the Chinese area. The greater development 
of the peculiar arrangement of the hairs on the leaf in the Burmese 
plant makes a striking difference in the aspect of the two, and 
considering the restricted specific distribution of most Didymocarpi, 
I have thought it better to keep them distinct. 
u1%* var. glandulosa, W. W. Smith. 
Valde affinis sed robustior, folia basi cuneata nec cordata, 
supra uniformiter parce pilosula ; pedunculi pedicellique sparse 
albo-glanduloso-pilosa. Fructus fere 3 cm. longus valvis utrinque 
solutis. 
China :—Yunnan. From Manmei (?), S. of Red River, 7000 ft.; 
Henry 9745, in Herb. Kew. and Herb. Edin. The specimen is 
impertect,scarcely equals 12463, but is very closely allied. 9745B, 
in Herb. Edin. in fruit only, is the same. 
Didymocarpus Margaritae, W.W.Smith. Sp.nov. Platecv. 
Species Eudidymocarporum, affinis Didymocarpo Kerrit, Craib, 
sed calyce ad imum in lobos lineares patentes fisso conspicua. 
Herba erecta fere acaulis (inflorescentia 15-18 cm. alta) 
gracillima. Folia 4-6, radicalia vel subradicalia, petiolis 3-10 
cm. longis pilosulis, suborbicularia, plerumque 4-5 cm., non- 
nunquam 8 cm. diametro, basi aequaliter cordata, serrata (pro 
magnitudine grossius), supra adpresse pilosa, infra praesertim 
in venis; nervi utrinque 4-5, supra indistincti, infra conspicui
