Hi Tony
excellent plan, we need clarification on a number of these chinese species. on first sight, they look different. I would add that the left hand one looks a bit like Nagensium in its leaf shape and that the right hand looks a bit like a yunnanensis (but then it would do right!) either way the leaf shape on neither of them looks like Balbisiana. I'm not sure where these fit in with the recent article on Itinerans species... Frank?
