FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 41 
orbiculatum, emarginatum, subsessile, glabrum. Ale dimidiatæ, late 
obovatæ, ungue brevi. Carina incurva, obtusa. Stamen vexillare a 
basi liberum. Ovarium pilis paucis ciliolatum, sessile. 
A single specimen gathered in Hong-Kong, without any note of the 
precise locality. It appears to be allied to the East Indian D. concinnum, 
but is much smoother than any species I am acquainted with of the 
same groupe.

Rare in Hong-Kong ; found on the side of a hill at the estuary, East 
Point, flowering in August. 
This species, although it does not appear to be anywhere very com- 
mon, has an extensive geographicalrange. I have it from various parts 
of the Himalayan range, from Fortune's Chinese collection, and from 
tropical Australia gathered by Bauer; and it is quoted in the Botany — — 
of Beechey’s voyage from the island of Bonin. The East Siberian and 
Dahurian L. juncea, confounded with it by Roxburgh and De Candolle, 
is, however, a very different species, with the habit of Z. trichocarpa; 
but with narrower though still pointed leaflets, and different calyces; —— 
so also the Hedysarum sericeum, Thunb., proves to be a distinct species, — 
published by Siebold and Zuccarini under the name of L. argyrea. In — 
- the L. cuneata, as in most of the allied species, the greater number of 
the flowers, although complete and perfect, are sterile, whilst the nu- - 
merous pods proceed chiefly from minute flowers without any petals, - 
and reduced to a small calyx, two or three very small imperfect | 
stamens, and an ovary large in proportion to the calyx, covered with 
hairs, and terminating in a recurved style scarcely so long as " ; 
ovary. :
