64 MR. W. J. TUTCHER ON NEW SPECIES 
One tree only found on the south side of Mt. Parker in 
April 1903, but not in flower then. When visited again in the 
early part of December in the same year, the flowers were just 
beginning to fade. The brick-coloured bark of this tree makes it 
a very conspicuous object at a distance, and it was by this means 
that it was discovered. 
Named after Mr. A. E. Crapnell, Hongkong, who has often 
aceompanied me on my botanieal excursions. 
ZANTHOXYLUM OVALIFOLIUM, Hight * 
Speeimens of, apparently, this species were found on the 
southern slope of Mt. Parker in April, 1903. They differ from 
the description of Z. ovalifolium in the rusty-tomentose 
inflorescence and much thinner (papery) leaves. Further 
specimens are required before the species can be determined 
with certainty. (Herb. Hongkong Bot. Gard. n. 965.) 
| CHISOCHETON HONGKONGENSIS, T'u£cher, n. sp. 
Arbor parva, circiter 12-pedalis. Folia 1 ped. longa; petioli 
6 poll. longi. Foliola 12-16, 4-6 poll. longa et 2-21 poll. lata, 
oblonga, papyracea, opposita vel subopposita, obtusa vel emargi- 
nata, supra glabra, subtus opaca, basi oblique acuta vel rotundata, 
margine anguste revoluta; nervi 8-12-dupli; petioluli 1 poll. 
longi. Ramuli juniores fulvo-pubescentes. Flores paniculati, 
2 lineas longi; panicule ad apices ramulorum, axillares, erecte, 
5-6 poll. longz. Calyx 5-dentatus, pubescens. Petala 5, 
valvata, alba, extus pubescentia. Staminorum tubus truncatus 
extus intusque sericeus. Antherz 8, sessiles, in tubo incluse. 
Stylus glaber; ovarium pubescens. Fructus maturus glaber, 
pyriformis, 12. poll. diametro. Semina oblonga, eastanea, aril- 
lata, fere 1 poll. longa. (Herb. Hongkong Bot. Gard. n. 969.) 
The fruits of this plant are somewhat like those of Chisocheton 
patens, Blume, but the mode of inflorescence and the flowers, 
which are 5-merous instead of 4-merous, are quite different. It 
appears to be a very distinct species. 
Discovered on the south side of Mt. Parker in April, 1903, 
in fruit, but flowering specimens were not obtained until 
December of the same year. The genus has not previously been 
recorded from Chiua.
