except the lower third, dull green and glabrous with the exception of a few bain along the veins on the npper surface, pale preen 

 and covered with minute whitish glands on the lower surface, and from 3 to 6 centimetres long (only partly grown), with fire or 

 six pairs of veins fasciculate-pilose beneath; petioles grooved above, about 1 centimetre in ssfth, .1. »«.U fao-i.-ulate-pilMMMt. 

 Panicles terminal and lateral, on short two-leaved branchleU, long-stalked, rather denae and nearly hemispherical I 

 centimetres in diameter, with opposite ratifications subtended by lanceolate ciliate bracts; peduncle from 2 to 3 centimetres as 

 length and, like the whole iaflofi -ceiice, densely fasciculate-pubescent; ovary slightly glandular; calyx-teeth orbicular-ovate, 

 sparing!} ciliate; corolla rotate, glabrous, about 5 millimetres in diameter, the lobes orbicular-ovate; stamens not exceeding the 

 iorolla; anthers oval, yellow; style short and thick, about equaling the calyx-teeth. Fruits unknown. 



A shrub (or tree ?), with generally forked somewhat tortuous branches, and densely fasciculate-pubescent branchleU, becoming 

 light yellowish pray in their second year and later grayish brown. Winter-buds small, probably with two outer scales. Flowers 

 appear with the leaves. 



China: Yunnan, Mengtie, mountain forest, altitude 2300 metres, A. Henry (No. 11015 ... H.-rl. Arnold Arboretum). 



Viburnum yunnanense is closely related to Viburnum Sirboldii, Miquel. which differs from it chiefly in its much larger mora 

 coarsely serrate leaves, with from eight to twelve pairs of veins, and in iU larger glabrous or nearly glabrous inflorescence borne 

 on branchleU furnished with two or three pairs of leaves.

The northern form, which has the tube of the corolla longer than the limb, has been distinguished by Koch as 1 lAurnum Awa-
