308 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS.

This tree, which I have described more in detail in the above-men- 
tioned paper, constitutes much of the woods of Hong-Kong, flowering 
in May and October, and bearing fruit in October and November. It 
may require further comparison with the East Indian C. gymnanthera, 
from which, however, it appears to be sufficiently distinct. (J. G. 
Champ.) 
4. Cleyera dubia, Champ., sp. n. ; frutescens, tota glabra, foliis lanceo- 
latis margine integriusculis leviter revolutis coriaceis, floribus majori- 
bus (84 lin. diam.) axillaribus pallidis bibracteolatis, sepalis fimbria- 
tis petalisque glabris, staminibus brevibus connectivo acuto, stylo 
sepius trifido, fructu globoso diametro supra-semiunciali, 
- . Mount Victoria, flowering in February and March, fruit in June.—I 
have my doubts as to this being really different from the last. Their 
general resemblance is very striking ; and the only specific differences I 
perceive are that the branchlets are more swollen, ash-coloured, and 
less compact ; the flowers larger, nearly scentless, the petals less fuga- 
cious, and the fruit and seeds much larger, —differences which might 
almost be effected by situation. One of my specimens has the fruit 
nearly an inch in diameter. (J. G. Champ.) 
5. Ixionanthus Chinensis, Champ., sp. n. ; foliis petiolatis ovali-oblongis 
integerrimis reticulatis, pedunculis folio multo brevioribus, floribus 
decandris. Affinis T. reticulate.—Folia distinctius et longius petio- 
lata, minora, basi angustata. Pedunculi multo breviores. Calyx 
profunde 5-fidus, laciniis orbiculatis lineam longis. Petala persis- 
tentia, orbiculata, ealyce subduplo longiora. Stamina 10, exserta. 
Discus 10-crenulatus inter stamina et ovarium. Ovarium subglobo- 
sum, acutiusculum, 5-loculare, ovulis in quoque loculo 2, ex apice 
anguli centralis pendulis. S£y/us longissimus, simplex, apice discoideo- 
dilatatus, supra stigmatosus. Capsula fere pollicaris, rigida, septi- 
cido-5-valvis. (G. Bentham.) 
Grows in the Happy Valley to be a small tree, and is there rather 
X common; flowers in May and June. See a more detailed description 
in the above-quoted paper.
