This species, if all the plants cited are correctly referred to 
it, is very variable, both in leaf shape and in its calycine char- 
acters. The plants collected in Hupeh by Henry are especially 
variable in these directions. 
The plant introduced by Wilson and figured as P. ovalifolia 
I have little hesitation in referring to this species. It did not 
persist long in cultivation.
