The specimens collected by me, of which the opposite figure represents an illustra- 

 tion, differ rather much from Komarow's d^-aughts of this species in i^s. MaHBiacyplH III 

 (1907) t IV, f. II. Thus, the leaves in my specimens are always more or less distinctly 

 petioled; the lower leaves are generally more long-petioled than the upper ones, and even 

 if the petiole is short, it can be distinctly pointed out. The leaves are also compara- 

 tively narrower, on an average 0,5—0,8 cm. broad, and 3—4 cm. long, almost equally 

 broad or gradually tapering upwards, rounded or subobtuse at the summit, while the leaves 

 in the said drawing of Komarow's are of a quite different shape, viz. ovate — oblong, 

 cuneately tapering towards the base, and acuminate at the apex. The upper sides of the

leaves are glabrous, the margins and the nerves of the under sides distinctly pubescent 

 and glandular, glabrous for the rest. The flowers are short-pedicelled, the pedicels gene- 

 rally only a few mm. long, and the corolla-tube is in all the specimens collected distinct- 

 ly rectangularly curved at the base, while Komarow's specimens — to judge from the 

 drawing — have the corolla-tubes straight The calyx, and especially the corolla-tube 

 and the upper lip are puberulent and glandulous. The lower lip is glabrous, larger, and 

 farther projecting than the upper ones, while the lower lip in the drawing quoted is 

 small, undivided, and shorter. Thus, it will appear that my specimens differ rather con- 

 siderably from those figured and described by Komarow from Manchooria, but they
