subparallel, prominent, the apex prominently acuminate, the up- 

 per surface smooth, glabrous, shining, pale-greenish to brownish- 

 olivaceous, the lower white-glaucescent in contrast to the brown 

 midrib, nerves, and reticulations; petioles about 1.5 cm long. 

 Infructescences lateral, 4 cm long or less, sparingly pubescent, 

 the rachis rugose, 1 to 1.5 cm long, the fruits racemosely dis- 

 posed, their pedicels somewhat thickened, about 1 cm long. 

 Fruits ellipsoid, somewhat rugose, about 1.5 cm long.

 800 to 1,000 meters. 



I am by no means certain that this species belongs in the genus Neolitsea, 

 a point that can definitely be determined only when flowers are available. 

 It approaches Neolitsea in the verticillate arrangement of its leaves and 

 in their being prominently 3-plinerved, but this character is found in other 

 allied genera that are distinguished otherwise only by certain floral 

 characters. The leaves are unusually large for Neolitsea, and the species 

 may ultimately be found to belong in Lindera or in Actinodaphne. 



ROSACEAE 



RUBUS Linnaeus 



RUBUS BUERGERI Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 3 (1867) 86; Focke

Kwangtung Province, Loh Fau Mountain (Lofaushan), Merrill s. n. 

 August, 1917, on open grassy slopes about boulders, altitude about 900 

 meters. 



This species is widely distributed in Japan, and is reported from Yunnan 

 by Focke. The Loh Fau specimen agrees closely with the description, with 

 Focke's figure, and with authentically named Japanese material. 



RUBUS FIMBRIIFERUS Focke in Bibl. Bot. 7 (1910) 80. 



Kwangtung Province, Teng Woo Mountain, Levine & Groff US, November 

 18, 1916. 



The type of this species was a specimen from the Hongkong Herbarium 

 collected on the West River, Kwangtung Province. It is not included by 

 Dunn & Tutcher in their Flora of Kwangtung and Hongkong, and agrees 

 with none of the species admitted by them.
