distinguished by its smaller leaves, constantly fewer flowered 

 racemes, less acuminate sepals, and by its ovoid darker red fruits; 

 in habit and general appearance the two species are very distinct. It 

 seems also related to C. mucronuta Franchet from Yunnan, which 

 differs chiefly in the lax 2 to 4 flowered racemes and more densely 

 hairy leaves." (Sargent, Plantae Wilsonianae, vol. 1, p. 157-158^ 

 1912.) 



38150. CoTONEASTER HOBizoNTALis PEBPusiLLA Schueider, 

 "(Wilson No. 496.) On bare, rocky ground, north and south of 



Ichang, western Hupeh, at an altitude of 1,300 to 2,000 meters. 

 Prostrate, fruit red." 



" This small-leaved form of C. horizontalis is the common coton- 

 easter of the moorlands in western Hupeh, being abundant in open, 

 rocky ground. It is probably merely a climatic form of the type, 

 since the seedling plants under cultivation have the larger leaves of 

 the type." (Rehder and Wilson. In Sargent, Plantae Wilsonianae, 

 vol. 1, p. 155, 1912.)

38152. DiosPYROS lotus L. Diospyracese. Persimmon. 

 "(Wilson No. 621.) From Changlohsien, western Hupeh, at an alti- 

 tude of 1,000 meters." 



38153. Hypericum patulum henryi Bean. Hypericacese. 

 ((?) Wilson No. 1355.) 



" From Tachienlu, western Szechwan, abundant in thickets at altitudes 

 of 1,500 to 2,400 meters, November, 1908. A shrub with golden flowers, 

 from three-fourths to 1 meter tall. This variety is easily distinguished 

 from the type by its narrower acute sepals, which are broad and rounded 

 in the type. The cymes are several to many flowered, the flow^ers larger 

 and the leaves, too, are usually larger and of thicker texture. At the 

 Arnold Arboretum it has proved of more vigorous growth and hardier 

 than the type." {Rehder. In Sargent, Plantae Wilsonianae, vol. 2, 

 p. 403, 1915.) 



38154. Jasminum floridum Bunge. Oleacese. Jasmine. 

 (Wilson No. 789.) 



" From Ichang, Hupeh, at altitudes of 300 to 700 meters, December, 

 1907. A yellow-flowered bush 1 meter tall." (Sargent, Plantae Wil- 

 sonianae, vol. 2, p. 614, 1916.)

38155. Indigofeba amblyantha Craib. Fabacese. 

 (Wilson No. 786.) 



" Ichang, western Hupeh, at altitudes of 300 to 1,000 meters, December, 

 1907. The erect, racemose inflorescence of this pleasing shrub continues 

 to grow and bear flowers from mid- July until late autumn. The flowers 

 vary from pale rose to red pink and are very freely produced. The 

 shrub is common in western Hupeh but has not been recorded from 

 Szechwan." (Sargent, Plantae Wilsonianae, vol. 2, p. 99-100, 1914.)
