AND OTHER CHINESE PLANTS. 67 
Valley Woods above the Bowen Road, and the other in a wood 
on the southern slope of Mt. Parker. 
CLEIDION JAVANICUM, Blume. 
One speeimen only of this species was found in a ravine south 
of Sheko Gap in February of this year (1904). Not previously 
recorded from China. (Herb. Hongkong Bot. Gard. n. 963.) 
FICUS ALTISSIMA, Blume. 
It is difficult to say whether this is a native of Hongkong or 
not, but there are several fine specimens in the island and on 
the Kowloon peninsula. Hance found it in the province of 
Kwangtung near temples, and Dr. A. Henry collected it in 
Hainan. (Herb. Hongkong Bot. Gard. n. 970.) 
FICUS INFECTORJA, Roxb, 
This species is frequently met with in Hongkong and is, 
apparently, indigenous, although frequently planted for shade 
purposes. Dr. A. Henry states that it is commonly planted 
near shrines in China, but that he did not meet with it east of 
Patung in Hupeh. 
QUERCUS ITEAPHYLLA, Hance. 
Fruits of this species were collected in March of this year 
(1904) from trees growing in the woods on the east side of the 
racecourse, Wong-nei-cheong, and others from trees found on 
the hills above the Buddhist Temple, Causeway Bay. It 
belongs, as Hance suspected, to the section Pasania. The cup is 
scarcely 6 lines in diameter and 3 lines deep, silky on the inside. 
The connate bracts are in 6 to S series. The acorn is ovoid, 
glabrous, about 72 lines long including the umbo, which is 3 line.

QUERCUS POLYSTACHYA, Wall. 
Three trees of this species, about 20 feet high, were found on 
the Black Mountain in February of this year (1904). Pre- 
viously collected by Dr. A. Henry at Mengtze in Yunnan, but 
not recorded from any other place in China. The acorns in the 
Hongkong specimens are about j in. in diameter, somewhat 
larger than those collected in other places. (Herb. Hongkong 
Bot. Gard. n. 981.)
