Buddleia Purdomii, W. W. Sm. Sp. nov. 
_ Species valde affinis B. nanae, W. W. Sm., speciei yunnanensi, 
habitu simillima, foliis obtusioribus utrinque dense tomentellis, 
bracteis numerosis cymulas amplectantibus, bracteolis linearibus, 
floribus majoribus recedit. 
Fruticulus ramosus ramulis gracillimis teretiusculis primo 
albido-tomentellis mox pro maxima parte glabrescentibus. 
Folia opposita breviter (ad 2-3 mm.) petiolata, plerumque 
1.5-2 em. longa, 5—6 mm. lata, lanceolata vel oblongo-lanceolata 
obtusa vel subrotundata integra supra obscure viridia dense 
minute stellato-tomentella, nervis obscuris, infra dense albido-

spicuis. Inflorescentiae ramulos terminantes 6-15-florae ; pedun- 
culi pedicelliqug brevissimi; flores subcapitati ; eee (folia 
floralia) basim cymularum obtegentes numerosae ad cm. 
longae lineares dense fulvido-tomentosae ; bracteolae nae 
similes sed multo minores sub calycibus insertae. Calyx 
tubulosus circ. 7 mm. longus tubo corollae adpressus extus dense 
fulvido-stellato-tomentosus intus glaber dentibus 2.5 mm. 
longis anguste lanceolatis acutis. Corollae tubus II-I12 mm.

“Common on very steep and torrid cliffs and banks of the

Siku. FI. April29.” Kansu, West China. Farrer and Purdom. 
No. 14 in Herb. Edin. 
This Kansu species closely resembles in habit the Yunnan 
species B. nana, W. W. Sm. — The strong development of bracts 
and bracteoles is noteworthy.
