ENUMEKATION OF THE SPECIES 59 



strigosely pubescent. The flowers are small, crowded in terminal clusters, and 

 fragrant. The corolla is lilac-colored, with a slender tube about 1 cm. long, and 

 small spreading lobes; the 5 exserted stamens are overtopped by the slender style 

 with its capitate stigma. The pedicels are straight from 1 to 1.5 cm. long and with 

 the annular calyx and the ovary are densely clothed with shining, rufous-brown 

 strigose hairs. 



This species is known only from one or two localities near Canton in south 

 China and is evidently closely related to R. Seniavinii Maxim. So far as I know 

 it has never been introduced into cultivation, although discovered by the Reverend 

 B. C. Henry as long ago as April, 1882.
