* Cannalis satlm, L., is cultivated in Hongkong; Humnhcs Japonicus, Sieb. et Zucc, was found by 
me in hedges around Canton: as the latter is extremely scarce and interesting, I have introduced a figure 
of it in this work, though the species does not belong to the Flora of Hongkong.

Fam. Natur. sect. ii. p. 89. Hedges about Canton, growing in the same manner as does our AYild Hop in 
Europe (Seemann!) ; also found in Japan (Siebold). 
Though this species was published many years ago by Von Siebold and Zuccarini, we still find nearly 
all our systematic works asserting that there is only one species of Jlurmdus, as there seems to be only one 
species of Cannabis. This assertion is however entirely owing to the fact that H. Japonicus was published 
in rather an obscure place, and its existence is therefore not generally known, for there can be no doubt 
whatever that it is a very good species, at once distinguished from the common Hop by the entire absence 
of those resinous, spherical glands, with which the scales of the imbricated heads of the latter are scattered, 
and to which they owe their value in the preparation of beer, making a substitution of the one for the 
other, for economical purposes, an impossibility. Other differences of importance are to be found in the 
hispid covering of the leaves and bracts, and the length of the petiole, which always exceeds that of the 
blade of the leaf, to say nothing of the straight axis of tlie male panicles (by an error in the drawing fiexu- 
ose), distinguishing them from the flexuose ones of K. LupuJus.
