 Yunnan boreali-occidentalis, ad latera orientalia montium niveorum 

 prope Lichiang, alt. circ. 2800 m., 4 Julii 19 14 (no. 1769). 



The only real difference between C. montana sensu lato and 

 C. chrysocoma sensu lato is furnished by the densely pilose achenes 

 which are glabrous in C. montana. The yellowish silky pubescence 

 of C. chrysocoma is not a reliable character, because I collected a 

 form with almost entirely glabrous leaves but with distinctly pilose 

 young fruits (in dumetis ad latera orientalia montium niveorum 

 prope Lichiang fu, alt. circ. 3300m., 19 Julii 1914? no. 1928). 

 Unfortunately, I do not know the color of the flowers, having seen 

 only young fruits. The leaves are very much like those of C. 

 montana var. rubens Wils., and, I presume, this number represents 



a new variety of C. chrysocoma.

western Hupeh, that agrees with Franchet's description of C. urophylla in 

 Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Paris 1:433- 1884. The two specimens which have 

 been referred by Rehder and Wilson to this species look rather different. 

 The leaves of no. 11347 are entire, while those of no. 31 21 are mostly serrate- 

 dentate at the margins between the base and the apex. The sepals of the 

 type are narrow lanceolate, acuminate, and almost twice as long as the stamens.
