38 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
I have the same plant from Fortune (n. 78), and from Mr. Hance 
(n. 105). It is very near the Nepal P. odcordata, but its spur is a very 
short cone, and not a cylinder, bluntly conical at the point. (Lindl.) 
Common on Victoria Peak; flowering in July; white, variegated 
with lilac. 
28. Spiranthes australis, var. pudica, Lindl. Gen. et Sp. Or ch. 
p. 465.—On the top of Victoria Pass, April, 1848. The flowers are 
white, tinged with pink. 
29. Goodyera procera, Hook.—Lindl. 1. e. p. 493.—Mount Gough 
and Mount Victoria. The leaves are very glossy, and dark green. The 
flowers, in April, 70 to 80 in the spike, are 25 lines across, green and 
white; inodorous. 
. 80. Heemaria discolor, Lindl. 1. e. p. 490.—Found sparingly in se- 
veral of the ravines behind the town of Vietoria, growing in dark 
places on rocks; also very sparingly in a ravine in the Happy Valley. 
Flowers in April. ) 
31. Zeuxine emarginata, Lindl. l. c. p. 485.—Grows sparingly on 
the race-course of the Happy Valley, where it was discovered in 1850 
by Col. Eyre and Dr. Thornton. The flowers, in the end of January, 
are white, with a reddish tinge and a bright yellow labellum. 
. . 82. Tropidia eurculigoides, Lindl. l. c. p. 497.— Very rare in a ra- 
vine in the Wang-na-chang woods. 
—. 88. Cypripedium purpuratum, Lindl. l. c. p. 530.— Considered ex- 
ceedingly rare when Major Champion first came to Hongkong, but now 
proves to be found in clefts of rocks in many of the ravines of the 
island, growing at a considerable elevation, and always preferring moist 
situations. Flowers in autumn. 
"Ehe Leliopsis Chinensis, Lindl. in Paxton's Fl. Gard. under t. 105 
Broughtonia Chinensis, Lindl. in Hook. Journ. Bot. vol. ii. p. 492); 
described from Mr. Hinds’ specimens, is not among Major Champion's 
plants. © 
There are three ScrTAMINEZ from the ravines of Mount Victoria :— 
lpinia nutans, Rosc., A. Galanga, Sw., and a Hellenia, apparently H. 
Chinensis, Willd. Major Champion observed also a wild Musa in the 
ravines of Mount Parker, but it was without flowers or fruit. 
One Intpxa, Pardanthus Chinensis, Ker, was gathered at Saywan. 
single small specimen of a Curculigo, which appears to be the 
common C. orchioides, Roxb., was found in grassy ravines, and a Pan-
