In collibus Feng-wang-shan, Apr. 1879, F. B. Forbes. (Herb, 

 propr. n. 20736.) This is the plant noticed by Mr. Hemsley 

 Journ. Bot.' xiv. 207.) It has so very different an aspect 

 rom the typical form, which also occurs in Kiang-su, owing to its 

 much smaller size, puberulous stem, leaves, and calyx, and the 

 curiously-shaped leaves, that at first I thought it must be distinct.

Though its fruit is unknown, this appears certain y quite 

 distinct from any of the East-Asiatic or Japanese species hitheito 

 described. It seems in some respects near E. omkyOu., Jttg, 

 which, however, has slender elongated cymes, P^ m «°^^f £ 

 shorter stamens, and different coloured foliage. It is also allied to 



the Peking E. Bungatnus, Maxim. Frutesceil s, ramuhs
