Common in the Happy Valley woods, where it is arboreous. Capt. 
Champion states, that if he recollects right, the fruit is of the size 
. of a small apple, and not lobed or grooved, but smooth as in the 
Mangosteen. 
3. Calophyllum membranaceum, Gardn. et Champ. in Kew Journ. 
Bot. vol. i. p. 309. 
In a ravine on Mount Victoria, where it is tolerably abundant, also 
in the Happy Valley woods. 
HYPERICINEZ, 
1. Hypericum Japonicum, Thunb. 
Common in marshes and fields.

Very abundant in the low grounds of Hong-Kong. 
MALPIGHIACEZ. 
i. Hiptage Madablota, Gsertn—Juss, Malpigh. p. 248. 
In its leaves, rather less coriaceous than the common East Indian 
varieties, and in its full-sized flowers, this resembles the specimens 
gathered by Dr. Wallich at Prome. It is certainly not the H. obfusi- — 
Jolia, DC., described as a Chinese species. It flowers in May, festoon- _ 
ing the trees in the Happy Valley woods, and is found also on rocks on _ 
Mount Gough, but rare. - ;
