278 CraIB—ABIES DELAVAYI IN CULTIVATION. 
under the name A. Delavayi. Now A. Delavayi was based on a 
Tali plant collected by Delavay, and, as noted below, Forrest's 
Tali plant is identical with A. Delavayi. But the Forrestian 
plant in cultivation was raised not from Tali but from Lichiang 
seed, and the Lichiang plant proves quite distinct from the Tali 
one. For this Lichiang plant I propose the name 4. Forrest. 
The following is a limited account of the synonymy and dis- 
tribution of the species concerned, with diagnosis of the new 
species. I have limited the synonymy because from what has 
been said above it will be readily understood that, so far as our 
present knowledge goes, any reference to A. Delavayt based on 
a Szechuan plant is probably to A. Faberi, but certainly not to 
the true A. Delavayr.

I am indebted to the Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, 
for the opportunity of examining Masters’ type plant of 
Keteleeria Fabri. 
The Szechuan and Yunnan plants, though unquestionably 
_ very closely allied, are, I believe, specifically quite distinct.
