Kwangtung Province, Shiuchow region, Fan Kwai No Shan, 
To Kang P’eng 276U (type), 2779 p , p., April 19, 1919. 
This species is closely allied to Diploclisia affinis (Oliv.) Diels 
but differs in its larger leaves which are broadly ovate to sub- 
reniform, their bases truncate-rounded to shallowly cordate and 
not at all peltate. My specimen of No. 2779 cited above consists 
in part of this species and in part of Pericampylus glaucus 
(Lam.) Merr.
