D. 30. Victoria Peak (Champion, teste cl. Benth.j Hance!). 
Tlie few specimens agree well with Bentham's precise diagnosis, I.e. The ripe achaenia are glabrous, 
somewhat curved and ribbed. There is also a specimen gathered by C. F. Tonnerre at Shanghai, and closely 
allied to it, but it seems to differ in its more slender peduncles and smaller flower-heads. The involucral 
scales are narrower, and less scarious at the summit. The single specimen however is in too bad a con- 
dition to serve any purpose. 
328. CiRSirM Chinense, Gardn. et Champ, in Hook. Journ. and Kew Misc. vol. i. p. 323, et 
Beuth. ibidem, vol. iv. p. 236. n. 31 + . Victoria Peak and other hills (Champion, teste cl. Benth.). 
329. CiRsiuM oreithales, Hance, Wlprs. Ann. Bot. Syst. vol. ii. p. 944. n. 6. Victoria Peak 
and hills (Hance ! Seemann!}. 
I refer our specimens to this species, and not to Cirsium CUnense, Gardn. et Champ, in Hook. Journ. 
Bot. and Kew Misc. vol. i. p. 323, because I am not quite persuaded that both belong to the same species. 
They agree well with Hance's diagnosis in "Walpers, 1. c, but not with that of Cirsium CUnense. Our spe- 
cimens have not the two fohaceous bracts under the flower-head, as recorded by Gardner and Champion, nor 
we their leaves glabrous on both sides ; they are so on the upper, but araneoso-tomentose on the under 
side, as described by Hance.

Hauce's authentic specimens have the involucral scales herbaceous and pubescent throughout, as is the 
case m the East Indian plant.
