 (MHP!), Sept., (no. 36); Ku-shan {%\\\), Nov., (no. 313). 



Nom. Jap. Bontokutade. 



This is P. Buccidum Meisn. in DC. Prodr. VIV. 109 in part. 

 according to Hooker. 



296. P. hangchouense n. s. 



8 dm. high, glabrous, branching ; leaves shortly petiolate, 

 ovato-oblong, acuminate, lamina 10x1.5 cm., glabrous above 

 and underneath, punctated ; stipules strigose, cilia shorter than 

 the tube ; peduncles slender ; racemes 3 or 1 cm. long, subcvlin- 

 drical, densely flowered ; Bowers whitish or slightly tinged purple 

 (v. s.), fascicled in the axile of bracts, which are turbinate and 

 furnished with short cilia ; sepals 3 mm. long ; stamens 8, 

 unequal, included ; style slightly exserted, branches 3 ; nut 

 trigonose (mature one not seen). 



This sp. has somewhat showy flowers, and is closely allied 

 to P. Posumbu Hamilt. But short, densely flowered racemes, 

 larger flowers, exserted style etc. distinguish it from the latter 

 sp. In the present sp. perianth about 3.5 mm. long, style 

 exserted, and stamens included ; while in P. Posumbu I notice 

 perianth not exceeding 2,5 mm., style short, included, and the 

 stamens subequal to the perianth.
