FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. ~ - TF 
a genus represented by several species in East India. It is probable 
that the Marguartia of Vogel, a Chinese plant, evidently very near to 
the present species, is likewise an Ormosia. It is true that the stamens 
are described and figured as diadelphous, but Vogel could only ex- 
amine a single young bud already much injured, and the connection of 
the stamens as figured is very short and no more than often occurs in 
Sophoreæ in the very young state. Another species, allied to these 
two, but scarcely identical with éither, is figured in the Chinese draw- 
ings in the possession of the Horticultural Society, and is represented - 
in Dr. Lindley’s herbarium by a specimen in fruit. . 
31. Ormosia (Layia) emarginata, Benth.—Layia emarginata, Hook. 
et Arn. Bot. Beech. p. 183. t. 38. 
A neat erect shrub, very common in the Happy Valley woods and 
elsewhere. I can find no character to distinguish Zayia from Ormosia, 
but the transverse septa in the pod, which exist also in some of the 
American species. 
32. Guilandina Bonduc, L. : 
Frequently observed growing wild in Hong-Kong, but no specimens 
were collected. 
33. Cæsalpinia Chinensis, Roxb. F1. Ind. vol. ii. p. 361. ; 
Common in ravines, especially towards West Point, flowering in - 
, autumn. 
v 94. Cæsalpinia vernalis, Champ., sp. n.; scandens, petiolo communi _ : 
+ partialibusque aculeatis, pinnis circa 12-jugis, foliolis 4—6-jugis ovatis - : 
acutis coriaceis glabris supra nitidis subtus pallidis, panicula termi- 
nali rufo-tomentosa, pedicellis calyci subæquilongis. 
On the banks of a stream running towards Little Hong-Kong, flower- 
ing in spring. Of this I have only seen a single leaf and panicle. It 
is evidently allied to C. Nuga, but at once distinguished by the reddish 
down clothing the inflorescence, pedicels, and even the calyx, the shorter 
pedicels and larger calyces, and much smaller and more pointed leaflets. 
The leaf in my specimen is above a foot long, the pinnæ 2-23 inches, - ae 
the leaflets 8-10 lines long. ee
