310 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
Its form is more stunted, and it grows amongst rocks in ravines. Its 
pretty white pendulous flowers come out about January. The late 
Dr. Gardner referred it to C. caudata, Wall. ; but a comparison of spe- 
cimens shows it to be perfectly distinct. (J. G. Champ.) 
12.2 Camellia Banksiana, Lindl., is, I believe, a Hong-Kong species, 
but unknown to me. Some specimens, found on a hill near Mount 
Parker, and sent home by Mr. J. Bowring previous to my arrival, were 
considered as belonging to the C. Banksiana. Mr. Bowring mentioned 
its having sweetly-perfumed flowers, so that it could scarcely be the same 
 asthe C. assimilis, of which the flowers are scentless, notwithstanding a 
general affinity in habit and in the white pendulous flowers. The vege- 
tation of the hill on which it grew having been burnt by the Chinese 
for agricultural purposes, we could not succeed in finding spceimens.

13. Camellia spectabilis, Champ., sp. n. ; arborea, foliis lanceolatis acu- 
minatis glabris crenatis subtus reticulatis, floribus solitariis magnis 
albis axillaribus et subterminalibus, sepalis coriaceis fructibusque 
pomi magnitudinis sericeis. 
On Mount Victoria and more abundantly in the Happy Valley woods. 
A very handsome species, quite distinct from C. oleifera. It flowers 
sparingly when young, but abundantly when it has grown into a tree. 
(J. G. Champ.) 
14. Thea Bohea, Linn., is cultivated in Hong-Kong, but is not indi- 
genous, It frequently forms borders to garden-beds, just as we em- 
ploy the Box. As a genus there seems no good distinction from 
Camellia. The C. oleifera, Abel, and C. euryoides, Lindl., have neither 
of them been found in Hong-Kong. (J. G. Champ.)
