Excellent specimens recently received at Kew from Dr. A. Henry 

 confirm Hance and Maximowicz's records of the true " Varnish 

 Tree " growing in China. In a note accompanying the specimen, 

 Henry states that the Varnish Tree only grows in mountainous 

 districts, and he describes the method of obtaining the varnish, 

 which he says is ready for use as it comes from the tree. The 

 Indian tree formerly referred to this species is Rhus Wallichii, 

 Hook. f. 



In the Kew Herbarium are male specimens, from Happy 

 Valley, Hongkong (Ford), of a species of Rhus closely resembling 

 R. Succedanea, but the leaflets are borne on relatively long slender 

 petiolules and the flowers are decandrous. There is also an im- 

 perfect specimen from Ichang (Henry) of a species having tri- 

 foliolate leaves, and evidently allied to R. Toxicodendron, Linn.
