Illigera cordala Dunn, Jour. Linn. Soc. Bot. 38: 296. 1908. }^^2/4a "i-CLA. J J ' /// j/t u-3 



To ''save" this name, as explained above, and to "save" Uligcra iiiollissima 

 W. \V. Sm., I restrict Dunn's species to the cited Henry spécimens, 9902, 

 9902 A, 10649, referring Hancock 53S to Hligcra nwllissima W. W. Sm. 

 The species, as thus restricted is further represented by Maire s.n. from 

 Vunnan and Wilsoii 4091 from "western China." To be eliminated from 

 the original description "foliolis suborbicularibus - - ^ ubique molliter 

 pubescentibus"; the leafiets are ovate to oblong-ôvate. acuminate, slightly 

 but distinctly cordate, sparingly short-pubescent becoming subglabrous, and 

 on the three Henry spécimens examined are but S to 8 cm. long. The 

 mature fruits on Henry 9902 are 2 cm. long and 3 to 3.5 cm. wide (includ- 

 ing the wings) and the description of Illigera cordata Dunn should thus be 



changed from "fructus 3-5 cm. latus" to "3-3.5 cm. latus." 



Illigera yaoshanensis Hao. Repert. Sp. Nov. 42: 84. 1937. fnutn. . 2 0.0. ^ 6 l //^L • /9¥J- 



This species, described from fruiting spécimens from Kvvangsi (S/« 153ci, 

 3536) and Hainan (Henry 8564), should be compared with Illigera platy- 

 andra Dunn, as it seems, from the description, to be very similar to thé 

 latter rather than to /. niollissima VV. W. Smith, to which it was compared. 

 In the description "petiolis 10-20 mm. longis'' must be an error for the 

 petiolules. I think that Tsang 23288 from Tou Ngok Shan, Kwangsi, near 

 the Kwangtung border, represents Hao's species, and if so, then it would 

 seem to be clear that his species should be reduced to /. platyandra Dunn.
