2. Ventilago Maderaspatana, Gærtn.— Wight et Am. Prod. vol. i. 
p. 163. 
Ravines, Hong-Kong. 
8. Berchemia lineata, DC. Prod. vol. ii. p. 23. 
Ravines, Hong-Kong. 
4. Sageretia theezans, Brongn. 
Ravines, Hong-Kong, with the two preceding. 
This appears to be the same plant as Berchemia hamosa, Wall. Cat. 
n. 4253, a species closely allied to, if not a mere variety of, the more 
common Berchemia parviflora, Wall., all having so exactly the habit of 
the Sageretie, and not of Berchemia, that if a more perfect knowledge 
of them proves them really to belong to the latter genus, the separation 
of the two genera is rendered most unnatural. 
5. Rhamnus virgatus, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Car. et Wall. vol. il. 
p. 351. ; 
Victoria Peak, flowering in April. The leaves are rather smaller and 
the crenatures fewer than in the common Himalayan form, but I can 
find no other difference. 
6.? Androglossum reticulatum, Champ., gen. nov. Rhamneis affine. 
Gen. Char. ANDROGLOSSUM. Calyx 5-partitus, laciniis æstivatione val- 
15^ vatis? mox apertis persistentibus. Petala 5, toro dilatato (v. disco 
calycis tubo parvo hemisphærico adnato) inserta, laciniis calycinis al- 
terna et sublongiora, lata, concava, æstivatione imbricata, 2 exteriora. 
Stamina 5, petalis opposita et cum iis inserta. Filamenta compla- 
mata, ima basi petalis subconnata, apice inflexa. Anthere ovate, 
loculis parallelis longitudinaliter dehiscentibus. Ovarium. sessile, basi 
disco membranaceo 5-dentato cinctum, bipartibile, carpellis fere li- _ 
beris, uniloeularibus.  S/yli 2, vix coaliti, breves, summo apice | 
tenuiter et obtuse stigmatosi. Ovula in loculis (v. carpellis) ovarii ; 
gemina, angulo centrali affixa, collateralia, horizontalia, obovoideo- — 
subpeltata, amphitropa. Fructus (carpello uno abortiente) simplex, - 
oblique depresso-globosus, subdrupaceus, pericarpio tenuiter carnoso, 
endocarpio crustaceo. Semen fructui conforme, prope basin affixum, — 
ut videtur albuminosum, sed in specimine omnia immatura et em- 
bryo nondum accretum.—Species unica, À. reticulatum, frutex videtur, 
ramulis teretibus glabris, novellis compressiuseulis. Folia exstipu- | 
Jata, alterna, petiolata, elliptico-oblonga, obtusa vel acuminata, in- -
