258 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
5. Artabotrys odoratissima, Bl. Fl. Jav. 
This is without doubt the Chinese Anona hexapetala, Linn., usually 
referred to the Artabotrys odoratissima : it appears to have rather larger 
flowers than the common East Indian form, but that, as observed by 
Capt. Champion, is variable, and I can find no other difference. 
Tn similar places to the last species, but less common. 
ScHIZANDRE. 
1. Kadsura Japonica, Dan.; apparently identical with the Japanese 
species. 
Rare, in a ravine below Victoria Peak, flowering in autumn. The 
ripe carpels, found in January, are blackish-purple, juicy, sweet, and 
pleasant to the taste. 
LARDIZABALEA. 
l. Stauntonia Chinensis, DC. Syst. Veg. vol. i. p. 514. 
Trailing on rocks in ravines in various parts of the island. The 
flowers, in January and February, have a nauseous smell. 
MENISPERMACER. (By J. Miers, Esq.) 
"28 Cyclea deltoidea, Miers, sp. n. ; ramis gracilibus (demum glabris ?), 
foliis deltoideo-rotundatis apice obtusis v. rarius acutiusculis mucro- 
nulatis utrinque glaberrimis infra sordide glaucis 5-nervibus margine 
subrevolutis, petiolo gracili limbo dimidio breviore, racemo foemineo 
axillari subpanieulato glaberrimo folio longiore, baccis glabris. 
A single female specimen, from a ravine on Mount Victoria. 
This differs from other species in the smaller size of its leaves, 
which are only about 14 inch long, 14 inch broad, on a petiole 4 inch, 
the peltate insertion of which is generally about 3 lines (rarely 1 line 
only) within the margin. The somewhat slender raceme is subflexuose, 
about 2 inches long; the pedicels, 8 or 4 in each alternate fascicle, are 
approximate and almost umbellate, and 3 line in length. The nut, 
though small, corresponds in structure with the peculiar form common 
to the genus.
