FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 195 
endocarpio crasso osseo lignoso 5-suleo rugoso celluloso. Semen 
junius acute 5-angulatus. 
Common on the hills, with an erect habit, or often trailing when in 
under-wood. Flowers yellowish-green, in January. Fruit in May, 
scarlet when ripe. Although not parasitical, there is no doubt that it 
belongs to Blume’s Henslowia, and is probably a widely-spread species 
in North India, identical with Viscum heteranthum of Wallich (pointed 
out to me by Dr. Hooker as a species of Henslowia), and probably also 
with V. platyphyllum of Sprengel, a name altered from 7. latifolium of 
Hamilton. In the dried state indeed it can scarcely be distinguished 
from some of the Zenslowie of the Indian Archipelago, but they are 
all said by Blume to be truly parasitical in the way of Viscum, and 
Major Champion found our plant always terrestrial.

Happy Valley. These specimens agree precisely with Lamarck’s 
figure, nor can I perceive any difference between them and the 4. 4gal- 
locha, Roxb., except that the leaves are usually, but not always, broader, 
and the flowers rather larger.

Common on the hills. Flowers greenish-yellow. Berries scarlet. 
Fortune’s n. 147 appears to be a broader and shorter leaved variety of 
the same plant, being most probably the W. viridiflora, Meisn.
