Hongkong. 
ug 9. Adhatoda (Tyloglossa) Chinensis, sp. n. ; herbacea, diffusa, pubescens 
v. glabrata, foliis oblongis ovatisve obtusis in petiolum angustatis, 
floribus axillaribus utrinque subternis, bracteis orbiculato-spathulatis, 
bracteolis minutis.—Herba 1-11 pedalis, divaricato-ramosa, pube 
rigidula plus minus conspersa, rarius glabrata. Caules obsolete te- 
tragoni, ad nodos inferiores radicantes. Folia majora 1-2 poll. longa, 
4—5 lin. lata, obtusa, margine integerrima v. repanda, basi longius- 
cule angustata in petiolum tenuem 2—4-linearem, supra pilis rigidulis 
plus minus conspersa, subtus preesertim ad venas hirtella, lineolis 
(raphidibus) parum conspicuis ; superiora gradatim minora et in 
formam ovatam v. obovatam abeuntia. Flores in axillis utrinque 
1-5, sepius 3, illis 4. Tranquebariensis paulo majores, bracteis 
parvis petiolatis foliaceis orbieulato-spathulatis falti.  Bracteole 
squamiformes, acutze, pedicellos brevissimos vix superantes. Calyces 
11-2 lin. longi, laciniis 5 a basi solutis parum ineequalibus lanceo- 
lato-subulatis puberulis, apice subulato plus minus recurvo. Corolla 
quam in 4. Tranquebariensi angustior, ceterum similis. Antherarum 
loculus inferior in appendicem cuneatam acutam desinens. Capsula 
quam in 4. Tranquebariensi angustior. Semina granulato-tuberculata 
nec echinata. 
Common in ravines of Mount Victoria. Though evidently allied 
to 4. Tranquebariensis and Orizensis, this species differs essentially in 
inflorescence, in the smallness of the bracteolz, and in the more slender 
flowers and fruits ; it has also none of the hard woody appearance of the 
othertwo. It may prove to be the 4. aspera of Nees, but that species 
has been unfortunately established on mere fragments, insufficient to 
identify it with certainty, at any rate without more perfect specimens 
procured from the same locality, the Philippine Islands. 
10. Rungie sp.? Unknown to me, but the specimen is insufficient 
for identification. 
Gathered in autumn on Mount Parker. 
11. Hypoestes purpurea, R. Br.—N. ab E. in DC. Prod. vol. xi. p-509; 
var. glabrior. 
Abundant near the Buddhist Temple at East Point; also Little 
Hongkong.
