256 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. | 
Also a rare species in Hong-Kong. Gathered in the Happy Valley, 
near the Waterfall, and towards West Point under the Buddhist Cave, 
in April 1848 and March 1849. 
3. Clematis Meyeniana, Walp., Pl. Meyen. p. 277. 
Of common occurrence, and in great abundance in almost every 
ravine in the island. The flowers are nearly pure white, very pretty, 
and slightly sweet-scented. It flowers during May, and occasionally 
again in autumn, even so late as December. 
DILLENTACEZ. 
1. Delima sarmentosa, Linn. 
This is, at any rate, the Canton plant referred to this species in the 
‘Botanical Magazine,’ t, 3058, and is the same as the one distributed 
in Fortune's Chinese collection, n. 127. It agrees also very well with 
Burmann’s indifferent figure of the original Ceylonese plant, but re- 
quires further comparison with specimens from Ceylon absolutely to 
establish its identity. The Penang plant referred to the same species 
in the ‘ Botanical Magazine’ is the D. hebecarpa, DC. 
Common in ravines all over the island, flowering in summer. 
MAGNOLIACER. 
1. Talauma pumila, Bl.— Magnolia pumila, Andr.—Bot. Mag. t. 977. 
Shrubby and rather scarce on Victoria Peak, more commion and 
subarboreous in the woods of the Happy Valley, flowering in summer. 
It is much cultivated in flower-pots by the Chinese on account of its 
oppressively fragrant flowers, which bloom towards evening, falling off 
the next morning. 
ANONACEÆ. 
1. Unona discolor, Vahl.—DC. Prod. vol. i. p. 91. 
Of very common occurrence low down in ravines, where it is usually 
a humble shrub. The flowers have a strong perfume, and vary much 
in size according to the dryness or wetness of the weather about the 
flowering season. The same thing occurs in Artabotrys and others of 
this family. 
. 3002. Uvaria microcarpa, Champ., sp. n.; foliis breviter petiolatis obovatis 
oblongisve basi oblique cordatis supra sparse subtus densius stellato- 
pilosulis subtus ad venas ramulis pedunculisque rufo-tomentosis,
