Passiflora hainanensis, Hance in Journ. Bot. 1878, p. 227. 



Kwangtung : Soongkong Island ( Wright !), Pakhoi (Play- 

 fair V); Hainan: Hoihau (Bulloch Sf Waiters, hb. Hance,

Mr. Playfair's specimen from Pakhoi exhibits a remarkable 

 degree of variation in the foliage, leaving little room for doubt 

 that this is the same as Passiflora Horsjieldii, Blume (syn. Disemma 

 Horsfieldii, Miq.), a native of Java and Madura, and also collected 

 by Simon in the Mikir hills near Gowhatly, north-east of the 

 Khasia hills ; but it would be rash to unite them without care- 

 fully examining the flowers of all the specimens. Some of the 

 leaves of Playfair's specimen are bandy a third of an inch broad 

 and as much as six inches long, with a white band down the 

 centre ; while the broadest are two inches by four inches, and 

 destitute of any marking. 



Passiflora ccerulea, Linn., and P. faetida, Linn., American 

 species, are naturalized in Hongkong, and Oldham collected a 

 barren branch of the former at Tamsui in Formosa.
