TREES AND SHRUBS. 115 



The only Chinese specimens I have seen are those collected by Wilson and Henry, and these differ somewhat from the typical 

 Japanese plant chiefly in their denser and smaller corymbs and smaller leaves; bat this Chinese material is so meagre that I 

 cannot decide whether or not the Chinese plant should be separated from the typical Viburnum dilatatum.

China: Kwangtung, Fingushan, 1882, C. Ford, 1883 (in Herb. Gray); without locality, C. Wrnym (in Herb. Kew). 

 Viburnum Fordicc is closely related to Viburnum Mullaha, Hamilton, from which it differs chiefly in its smaller acute and 

 generally ovate leaves narrowed toward the rounded base and in its more densely pubescent flowers. 



54. Viburnum hirtulum, n. «p. 



Leaves coriaceous, ovate, acute or acntish, rounded at the base, remotely and obscurely denticulate, loosely covered with 

 fascicled and furcate hairs or glabrescent at maturity on the upper surface, more densely SMnd wish fasciculate hairs on the 

 lower surface, particularly on the veins, from 4 to 7 centimetres long, with five or six pairs ..f veins ending ... th. •. 

 impressed above and prominent beneath; petioles densely covered with fasciculate yellow hairs, from 0.5 to 1 centimetre in 

 length. Corymbs terminal, umbelliform, from 6 to 7 centimetres in diameter, on peduncles from 1 to 2 centimetres long, and 

 like the whole corymb densely covered with spreading fasciculate hairs; rays five or six; flowers on rays of the third and fourth 

 order, with linear hairy bracelets at the base; ovary small, like the ovate calyx-teeth covered wuli long fasciculate hairs; corolla 

 rotate, from 4 to 5 millimetres in diameter, hairy outside, the lobes orbicular; stamens as long or only slightly shorter than the 

 lobes; anthers suborbieular, yellow; style short and thick, hardly exceeding the calyx-teeth. Fruit unknown. 



A shrub, with the young branehlets densely ferrugineously fasciculate-pilose, later becoming glabrous and grayish brown. 



China: Kwangtung, North River, November, 1888 (ex Herb. Hongkong Bot. Gard. No. 11G in Herb. Kew). 



Viburnum hirtulum is allied to Viburnum Mullaha, but is easily distinguished from that species by the coriaceous ovate acutiah 

 indistinctly toothed leaves, fasciculate-pilose on both surfaces, and with only five or six pairs of veins.
