272 PLANTAE CHINENSES FORRESTIANAE. 
This pretty Potentilla is related to P. peduncularis, Don, but is 
easily recognised by its low habit, the nearly sessile, very narrow 
leaves, tridentate leaflets, and short scapes. There are often 
only very few flowers.

“Small shrub of 6-24 inches. Flowers white. Forming 
underscrub in dense thickets and mixed woods on the eastern 
flank of the Lichiang Range. “Lat. 27° 10° Ny AL. 10,6060 4%,

This species is easily recognised by its small size, small leaves, 
and few-flowered inflorescences.

“Valley of the Yangtse below ChiTien. Alt. 7ooo ft. Tree of 
15-30 ft. Yunnan. October 1904.” George Forrest. No. 487. 
Forrest’s plant being in fruit I have not examined the flowers ; 
but the leaves are very glabrous and much broader than in

think the latter is quite different from our Yunnan plant.
