Augustii 1914, C. Schneider (no. 2274; typus in Herb. Arn. Arb. et Hb. Schnei- 
der; suffrutex floribus magnis luteis, ramulis floriferis 5-15 cm. altis). 
According to the figure given by LEHMANN and to WoLr’s description, 
the typical P. eriocarpa Wall. has “sepala externa late elliptica obtusa vel 
rotundata,”’ and the leaflets are described as “plus minusve longe petiolulata 
(saltem terminale)?’ The petals of var. cathayana seem also to be much more 
emarginate than those of the type.
