THE FLORA HONGKONGENSIS. 99 
*Tetracera sarmentosa, Willd. (=Delima sarmentosa, Linn.; Benth. 
Fl, Hongk. 7). 
There is not a single character to separate Delima from Tetra- 
cera, the Hongkong plant usually having several seeds, not one 
only. (Cfr. Planch. and Triana in ‘Ann. Se. Nat. Par.’ ser. 4, 
xvii. 20. Hance in Seem. ‘ Journ. Bot.’ vii. 115.) 
*Artabotrys hongkongensis, Hance in Seem. Journ. Bot. vii. 71. (= 
A. Blumei, Hook. f. and Thoms. Fl. Ind. i. 128, part.; Benth. Fl. 
Jongk.10; but not A. odoratissima, Bl.) 
Not hitherto found elsewhere. 
3. Melodori sp.? 
In the month of August 1861 I met in the woods at Hong- 
kong with a small erect Anonaceous tree in fruit, about 15 feet 
high, with penninerved oblong leaves, densely clothed with stel- 
late tomentum beneath, and also stellately pubescent above when 
young, but almost smooth at full maturity. The not ripe berries 
were ovoid, about an inch long, densely muricated with flattened 
tomentose cinnamon-coloured scales 3-4 lines long, dilated at 
the base, and not very unlike the cup-scales of Quercus vallonea, 
Kty.: one fruit which I dissected contained six oblong seeds. 
Mr. Bentham (who received a specimen) suggested, with all re- 
serve, that it might prove to be a Melodorum ; but until the 
flowers are discovered, its place in the order must remain quite 
uncertain, though there is little doubt it is new. M. Baillon 
(Monogr. des Anon. 211) makes Melodorum a section of Unona. 
*Cocculus Thunbergii, DC. Prod. i. 98. ; 
Both C. ovalifolius, DC., and C. trilobus, DC., are reducible to 
this: Drs. Hooker and Thomson kad already combined the two 
latter (Fl. Ind. i. 190), whilst Prof. Zucearini (Fl. Jap. Fam. 
Nat. i. 189) regarded C. trilobus as a variety of C. Thunbergit. As 
there is a considerable amount of variation in form of leaf, the 
latter name is by far the most cligible. 
*Cocculus incanus, Colebr.; Benth. and Hook. f. Gen. Plant. i. 961. 
(= Pericampylus incanus, Miers; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 13.) 
4. Nasturtium benghalense, DC. Prod. i. 139 ; Hook. f. and Thoms. 
in Journ. Linn. Soc. v. 139. : 
A weed in cultivated fields and fallows, flowering and fruiting 
at the close of the year. Widely diffused over India, and through- 
out the Indo-Chinese territories. 
*Cardamine silvatica, Link; Koch, Syn. Fl, Germ. ed. 3, i. 39.
