58. — FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
A 
3 densiflora; floribus subsessilibus in racemos ovatos densissimos con- 
gestis, calycis laciniis obtusioribus. 
Little Hong-Kong. Flowers fragrant. Choisy is no doubt right in 
reuniting with C. reffeza the two supposed species distinguished by 
Sweet under the names of C. verrucosa and C. Hookeri, but his character 
requires modification. The loose racemes are exceptional and peculiar 
perhaps to Wallich’s Calcutta garden specimens, and I never find the 
calycine segments so narrow and pointed as one would be led by the 
words of the diagnosis to fancy them. 
Major Champion had observed several other Convolvulaceous plants 
growing in the thickets and gullies of the island near the sea, but had 
not any opportunity of collecting them.
