Foxien: Wuikang (Bourne!) Herb. Kew. o 
This was sent to Kew by Mr. F. S. A. Bourne as the Nanmu 
of the Chinese ; but it is certainly quite different from the species 
sent under that name by Mr. Davenport and figured in Hooker’s 
‘Icones Plantarum,’ pl. 1316. To which of these species, if to 
either, fruit in the Kew Herbarium sent by Mr. E. C. Baber 
belongs,is uncertain. This fruit is said to be that of the Nanmu, 
from Szechuen ; it is spheroidal, somewhat vertically depressed, 
about a quarter of an inch in its greatest diameter, and subtended 
by a small, slightly reflexed perianth.
