SIMPSON—ENUMERATION OF CHINESE ASTRAGALI. 253 
The specimens representing this species are mounted on the 
same sheet with a Gueldenstaedtia, and there are two labels with 
no distinguishing mark to show to which specimens they may 
belong. No. 3420 was collected in July in W. China, and is 
stated to have purple flowers, whereas No. 1753 is from Central 
China and was collected in March. From these facts the 
writer is inclined to believe that No. 3420 refers to the Astragalus 
rather than to the Gueldenstaedtia.
