AND OTHER CHINESE PLANTS. 63 
banks of a stream at Sam-tam-lo in the British New Territory, 
Kowloon, in March 1908, and I have named it after Mr. S. T. 
Dunn, F.L.S., Superiutendent of the Botanical and Afforestation 
Dept., Hongkong, from whom I have received every assistance 
and encouragement in any botanieal work I have undertaken. 
CAMELLIA BANKSIANA, Lindl. ? 
Ihave been unable to find a complete description of this 
plant, but Champion in the ‘Kew Journal of Botany,’ vol. iii. 
p. 310, says :—“ Camellia Banksiana, Lindl., is, I believe, a 
Hongkong species, but unknown to me. Some specimens 
found on a hill near Mount Parker, and sent home by Mr. J. 
Bowring previous to my arrival, were considered as belonging 
to the C. Banksiana. Mr. Bowring mentioned its having 
sweetly-perfumed flowers, so that it could scarcely be the same 
as the C. assimilis, of which the flowers are scentless, notwith- 
standing a general affinity in habit and in the white pendulous 
flowers." 
Several specimens of a Camellia which were found on 
Mt. Parker in December, 1903, were referred by me to 
C. assimilis, but Mr. Dunn pointed out that they differed from 
that species, and on further examination I concurred with him. 
The specimens differ from C. assimilis in having the styles free 
for a greater distance, the capsule silky-hairy instead of glabrous, 
the flowers sweet-scented, and in the hairiness of the stamens, 
From Champion’s description quoted above, I am inclined to 
believe that the specimens belong to C. Banksiana. (Herb.

This species differs from Camellia reticulata, Lindl. in having 
free, glabrous styles.
