A handsome species, remarkable for the dense ring of long white 
hairs inside the ealyx.

Junio flf, leg. Rev. P. David. 
Precisely similar to some North-American specimens. Found 
sparingly im Manchuria, and also in the island of Sachalin, but 
not heretofore recorded as occurring in China proper.

42. EcHINOPSILON DIVARICATUS, Kar. & Kir. 
Specimens of this curious plant, hitherto only found near the 
Saisang Lake in the Kirghiz steppes, were gathered, in September 
1867, in dry places by the sides of fields, near Kalgan, close to the 
Great Wall. They agree in every respect with Moquin and 
Fenzl’s diagnoses. 
43. GIRARDINIA CUSPIDATA, Wedd. 
This remarkable plant was met with in September 1867 on walls 
and rocks in the precipitous Nan-kau Pass, about thirty miles 
north of Peking, by Dr. Wells Williams. A specimen from him 
has the leaves rather rotundato-ovate (not unlike those of Boe 
meria longispica, Steud.) than elliptic, and their acuminate ape? 
not more than 1} instead of 3 to 5 millimétres long, as described 
the lower leaves are also remarkably dwarfed. The“ Mons Oce- 
locality, which Dr. Weddell seems to regard as a proper name, 1 
unquestionably intended for “montes occidentales," the Si shan 
or Western Hills, a well-known summer resort of residents 8 
Peking, and of great botanical interest.
