Discus brevissimus. 
. Trailing over rocks on Mount Gough and in the Happy Valley 
woods, but rare. It flowers in autumn; the fruit has not been seen. 
In many respects it is allied to the M. reticulata, Benth., from China, © 
but that species has the leaves never acuminate, the inflorescence-much 
more developed, the flowers considerably larger and apparently purple, 
besides other minor differences. 
28. Dalbergia polyphylla, Benth. in Pl. Jungh. ; scandens, foliolis 25-50 
parvis lineari-oblongis glabris v. parce pilosulis, cymis axillaribus 
terminalibusque brevibus subsessilibus pubescentibus, calycis ovati — . 
dentibus tubo pluries brevioribus, petalis longe unguiculatis, stami- 
nibus 10 monadelphis, ovario glabro. 
On the summit of Mount Gough. The specimens are in young 
fruit only, but agree perfectly well with the flowering specimens ga- 
thered by Mr. Cuming in the Philippine Islands. The species is nearly 
allied to the common Eastern D. tamarindifolia, but the leaflets are 
much smaller (4-5 or rarely near 6 lines long), less unequal at the 
base, and smooth or nearly so; and I have always found 10 instead 
of 9 stamens, but the presence or absence of the vexillary stamen in 
the monadelphous Dadbergie may not be always constant in the same 
species.

* Named by Major Champion in honour of his friend John O. Bowring, Esq., who 
has been for some time investigating the flora of Hong-Kong with much zeal, and 
has formed large collections there, and to whom are due many of the stations given 
in the present Florula.
