‘A little frail bush of 3 feet or so, with flattened outspread 
sprays from which the rosy bugles hang—a plant of unique 
charm. There are larger and coarse approximations to this, 
in the lower Alpine coppice of the Satanee Range, from 
7000-8000 ft.; but of this form I have only seen two certain 
plants—one just above Chago by the pathside, and the other 
on a cliff above a torrent in a deep ghyll behind Ga-hoba. 
6th May, roth May 1914. Kansu, West China.” Farrer 
and Purdom. No. 46. 
This new species will occupy in Rehder’s Synopsis of the 
Genus Lonicera (Miss. Bot. Gard. Rep., 1903, p. 53) a place 
next to L. aemulans, Rehd.; or if the very small bractlets are 
given importance, it must be placed next to L. obovata, Royle. 
In habit it is not unlike L. microphylla, Willd.,from which its 
long slender corolla with short lobes is a sufficient mark of 
distinction. 
Microstylis orbicularis, W. W. Sm. et J. F. Jeff. Sp. nov. 
Species ex affinitate M. acutangulae, Hook. f.; habitu flori- 
-busque valde similis; floribus purpureis minoribus labelli 
auriculis diversis inter alia signa minora divergit ; ab omnibus 
speciebus chinensibus adhuc descriptis satis remota. 
Planta terrestris erecta 30-50 cm. alta, rhizomate brevi, 
bulbo subterraneo ovoideo vaginis membranaceis circumdato. 
Folia 2-3, erecto-patentia, petiolo scapum basi alte vaginante, 
usque ad 15 cm. longa ad 4 cm. lata, late lanceolata acuta 
siccando tenuiter membranacea utrinque glabra. Scapus erectus 
strictus folia multo superans glaber basi longe nudus, medio 
atque superne bracteis lineari-lanceolatis 6-8 mm. longis deflexis 
crebre ornatus; racemus sublaxe multiflorus pedicellis cum 
ovariis gracilibus + 5 mm. longis. Flores siccitate atro-pur- 
‘purei illis M. acutangulae forma subsimiles; sepala libera 
patentia, lateralia + 5 mm. longa elliptica obtusa, posticum 
angustius + 6 mm. longum 3-nervium. Petala sepalum posti- 
cum vix aequantia linearia ; labellum sessile latissimum ambitu 
fere orbiculare -- 8 mm. diametro lamina denticulis + 20 alte 
pectinata auriculis laminam -++ aequantibus columnam amplec- 
tentibus apice subrotundatis basi lamina haud discretis. Columna
