“Shrub of ro-15 ft. Flowers yellow, non-fragrant. Fruit 
dull orange-yellow. Margins of ae forests on the eastern flank 
of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 27° 15’ N. Alt. 10,500 ft. June

This species belongs to eo Sect. 17 Ochranthae of Rehder’s 
Synopsis (14. Ann. Rep. Missouri Botan. Gard., 1903, p. 133). 
It is somewhat related to L. deflexicalyx, Batal., and L. 
trichosantha, but easily recognised by the extraordinary develop- 
ment of the brown scarious calyx, whose parts look exactly 
like bud-scales,
