variety. The size of leaves seems to be a fluctuating character of 
these trees. 
Rhododendron adenogynum, Diels. Sp. nov. 
Frutex ramosus 1°8-2°5 m. altus. Folia petiolo crasso 
glabro 1~1'°5 cm. longo praedita coriacea supra glabra, sicca 
minute rugulosa, subtus praeter costam tomento pilis ramosis 
effecto rufidulo aequali lanuginoso opaco vestita, lanceolato-ovata 
utrinque angustata apice apiculata 6-9 cm. longa 2~3 cm. lata. 
Flores 6—10—ni ampli; bracteae dense pilosae deciduae ; pedun- 
culi glanduloso-pubescentes 2-3 cm. longi. Calyx purpurascenti- 
suffusus glanduloso-puberulus fere ad basin 5—lobus ; segmenta 
subelliptica 1-1°5 cm. longa, 0°5-0'7 cm. lata. Corolla carnosula 
glabra nisi intus basi puberula, fragrans, alba, extus purpureo- 
suffusa, latissime infundibuliformis demum lobis patentibus fere 
rotata, tubus 2-2°5 cm. longus, lobi rotundi 2—2°8 cm. longi, 
2°5~3 cm. lati. Stamina 10, praeter basin glanduloso-puberulam 
glabra, 25-3 cm. longa. Ovarium dense glandulosum, stylus basi 
glandulosus superne glaber stamina superans. 
“ Branched shrub of 6-8 ft. Flowers white, corolla slightly 
fleshy, tinged pink on exterior, expecially at base, fragrant. 
Scattered over grassy mountain slopes in small clamps: of 7 4 
plants. Eastern flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 27° 12’ N. 
Alt. 11-12,000 ft. June 1go6.” G. Forrest. No. 2395. 
This species is allied to R. Faberit, Hemsl., in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
xxvi, 22 (R. Pratt, Franch., in Journ. de Bot. ix, 1895, p. 3869), 
but differs from that by its larger, more open corolla, the stamens 
being puberulous only and the non-hairy ovary. Another 
similar species, R. Brettit, Hemsl. et Wils., in Kew Bulletin, 1910, 
p- 106, is different by its glabrous leaves. Lastly, the plant 
mentioned by Franchet as R. Faberii, ‘‘ envoyée a Kew sous le 
nom de R. ochrocalyx”’ (Delavay, No. 2635), seems to be related, 
but the indumentum is lighter and the flowers smaller. 
Rhododendron taliense, Franch., in Bull. Soc. Bot. France, 
XXxiil (1886), 232. 
Corolla infundibuliformi-campanulata saepe major, 2°5-4'5 
cm. limbo 3°5—4 cm. longa, ochroleuca vel alba vel roseo-alba 
intus purpureo-maculata, (an semper ?) inodora. 
“ Large branching shrub of 15-25 ft. Flowers pinkish-white, 
base of the interior of corolla deep crimson. Open, rocky slopes 
on the eastern flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 27°12’N. Alt. 
12, 000 ft. May 1906.” G. Forrest. No. 2408. 
‘“‘ Branching shrub of 10-20 ft. Flowers white, with a crimson 
blotch on interior of corolla. Possibly a variety of No, 2408. 
Umbels looser, and formed of fewer flowers, those larger. Leaves
