ing, about ' % tHe length of the tube, 2 of thera longer (always?); 

 Petals 0. Stamens 10, subsessile, biseriate, the superior affixed to the 

 middle of the tube. Ovary ovoid, slightly narrowed toward the base, 

 2 mm. long, style very short, stigma conspicuous, very black (alway?), 

 subglobose, papillose. Disk-scale {Receptacular efBgurationen of some 

 German authors) single, somewhat quadrate, encircling V3-V2 the base 

 of the ovary, truncate, glabrous, h the height of ovary. (I. coll., no. 

 20). 



The plant was collected in Chengtu. Though the specimen is very 

 imperfect, it seems to differ from any of about 50 species of Daphne 

 and the allied genus Wikstroemia hitherto reported from China, and 

 here I propose a new name provisionally. It is allied to D. gemmata 

 Pritzel. D. gracilis Pritzel, and D. leuconeura Rehder. But the 

 descriptions of the disk scale and leaves (especially theii size) of the 

 former two species do not agree with the present plant. Also the 

 description of the position of the stamens of D. leuconeura deviates 

 from the characters of the present one. 



Some species of Wikstroemia with pentamerous flowers, such as 

 W. dolicantha Diels and W. scytophylla Diels are allied to the present 

 species, but the descriptions of their disk-scales do not agree with the 

 characters of the latter.
