The first specimen of this, in flower, received at the University of Cali- 
fornia in 1925, was placed tentatively with C amellia sinensis (Linn.) 
O. Kuntze, where it manifestly does not belong, as verified in 1941 when 
a fruiting specimen Was received from the same locality (Mount Bavi). It 
js distinguishable by its prominently nerved, subcaudate-acuminate, toothed 
leaves, its three Îree styles, numerous glabrous filaments united into a short 
tube, and its apparently indehiscent, 1-seeded globose fruits, the very thin 
pericarp being crustaceous.

This specimen, in fruit, agrees Very closely with an isotype of Handel- 
Mazzettis variety (in flower). It impresses me as a very weak variety 
which perhaps should be merged with the species.
