FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 49 
at Goalpara by Hamilton, in Silhet and in the island of Penang by 
Wallich's collectors. A full description of the genus and of a Javanese 
species will be found in the ‘ Plante Junghuhnians.' The present 
species is rather more hairy than the N. Javanicus, the flowers are rather 
smaller with a different calyx. The pod is that of XN. Javanicus, but 
usually rather more curved, more or less hairy, or nearly smooth. 
19. Mueuna (Citta) Championi, Benth., sp. n.; foliis novellis utrinque, 
adultis subtus, ferrugineo-sericeis, racemis brevibus subramosis, caly- 
cis pedicello brevioris dentibus superioribus abbreviatis infimo acu- 
minato tubo breviore, legumine oblongo-lineari oblique plicato pleio- 
(4-)spermo adulto glabro. 
Above the Buddhist temple at East Point, climbing over rocks and 
trees. 
Nearly allied to M. monosperma, DC., and to M. anguina, Wall., it — 
has the flowers very like those of the former species, with the foliage 
nearer to that of the latter; the inflorescence is, as it were, intermediate 
between the two. The pod is very different from either, the one on 
my specimen being four-seeded, about 7 inches long by 2 inches wide, 
and perfectly free from the stinging hairs of the two other species. 
The two longitudinal wings along each suture, and the numerous ob- 
= lique ones across the pod, are 2 to 3 lines broad, stiffly membranous, 
reticulated, and, like the rest of the pod, black in the dried state. 
20. Phaseolus sp., apparently new, and belonging to the section 
Strophostyles ; but the single specimen, of which the precise locality was 
not recorded, is not sufficient to describe accurately in so difficult and 
confused a genus. 
21. Atylosia scarabæoides, Benth. Plant. Jungh.—Cantharospermum 
pauciflorum, Wall. et Arn. Prod. vol. i. p. 255. 
On road-sides in the autumn. 
22. Pycnospora hedysaroides, Br.—P. nervosa, Wall. et Arn. vol. i. 
p. 197. 
Hong-Kong, a single specimen. 
23. Rhynchosia volubilis, Lour. ?—Hook. et Arn. Bot. Beech. p. 181. 
Hong-Kong, a single specimen, without the precise locality. RU 
Although this species, a native of China and the Moluccas, is now .— 
generally considered to be Loureiro's plant, it is impossible not to en- 
tertain some doubts on the subject, as it has not the rostrate keel upon 
which Loureiro founded his name and his pomi generic character,
