40139 to 40201— Continued. 



by the simple hairs along the midrib — absent In discolor; the wings of 

 the inner stamens are deeply bilobed in discolor, but the lobes do not 

 reach up to or above the anther, as in longifolia:' (W.- J. Bean, Trees 

 and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles, vol. 1, p. JfS3.) 

 40178. Dipelta venteicosa Hemsl. Caprifoliaceae. 



"A deciduous shrub, G to 15 feet high; young shoots downy. Leaves 

 oval or ovate-lanceolate, rounded at the base, the apex long and taper 

 pointed, edged with a few gland-tipped teeth, sometimes quite entire; 

 2 to 6 inches long, three-fourths to If inches wide ; downy on the 

 margins and slightly so on both surfaces ; stalks one-eighth to one- 

 third inch long. Flowers produced at the end and in the leaf axils of 

 short side shoots; usually they are solitary in the leaf axil and in a 

 terminal corymb of three. Corolla between tubular and pitcher shaped ; 

 1 to 14. inches long, and three-fourths inch wide at the mouth ; the tube 

 protruded on one side near the base ; 5-lobed, the lobes rounded, and the 

 two upper ones the smaller; deep rose outside, paler within, except in 

 the throat, which is orange colored. Calyx with five awl-shaped lobes, 

 one-third inch long, fringed with short hairs. Flower stalk slender and 

 furnished with several bracts at the base of each flower. These bracts, 

 the largest two-thirds inch long, one-third inch wide, are persistent and 

 become attached to the fruit, which is also covered by the persistent 

 calyx. Distinct from Dipelta foribunda in the smaller bellied corolla. 

 Native of western China; discovered and introduced by Wilson in 1904; 

 flowered in the Coombe Wood nursery in May, 1908. It thrives very 

 well, and promises to be an ornamental as well as interesting shrub."

 40179 and 40180. Euonymus spp. Celastraeese. 



40179. Euonymus planipes Koehne. 



"A deciduous shrub or small tree, closely allied to E. latifolius, 

 and of similar habit and dimensions. The leaves are like those of 

 that species in most respects, but are more coarsely toothed, and 

 the stalk is not channeled on the upper side. The fruit is rosy red and 

 5-lobed, as in E. latifolius, but differs in having the top conical ; nor 

 are the wings of each lobe flattened and knifelike as in E. latifolius. 

 Except in these respects the two differ but little. Native of Japan; 

 introduced to Kew from the Arnold Arboretum in 1895, as E. 

 macroptcrus ; it has borne fruit for several years past, and promises 

 to be as handsome as latifolius." (W. J. Bean, Trees and Shrubs 

 Hardy in the British Isles, vol. 1, p. 541.) 



40180. Euonymus yedoensis Koehne. 



"A deciduous shrub or small tree, of sturdy, flat-topped habit, 

 growing 10 feet or more high ; branches stiff ; young shoots smooth. 

 Leaves obovate, usually broadly so, sometimes oval, tapered at both 

 ends, but more abruptly at the apex, minutely toothed; 2 to 5 

 inches long, 14 to 3 inches wide, smooth, strongly veined beneath; 

 leaf stalk one-third to five-eighths inch long. Flowers with styles 

 of varying length. Fruit pinkish purple, about the size of those of 

 E. europaeus ; seeds with an orange-colored coat, but not much 

 exposed. Native of Japan; named by Prof. Koehne in 1904. It is
