194 FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 
although neither our materials nor Loureiro’s description admit of posi- 
tive identification. It belongs to the same section of Randia as the R. 
longiflora, but is certainly not identical with that species. 
15. Randia sp.? A single specimen in bud only, but evidently dis- 
tinct from the preceding. = 
16. Randia? Zewcocarpa, Champ., sp. n.; inermis, fruticosa, foliis 
a» oblongis aeuminatis subtus ad costam ramulisque strigosis, floribus 
terminalibus axillaribusve 1—3-nis brevissime pedicellatis, calycis 
limbo campanulato breviter 5-dentato, corollæ tubo brevi, bacca 
2-3-sperma.—Fruter pedalis, ramosissimus. Rami juniores dense z 
strigoso-pilosi, vetusti glabrati, vaginis stipularibus nodosi.  Sfipule 
utrinque solitariæ, triangulares, acuminatæ, caducæ, axilla barbata. 
Folia breviter petiolata, 14-2-pollicaria, anguste v. late oblonga, plus 
minus acuminata, basi angustata v. rotundata, margine recurva, — 
preter costam venasque paucas subtus strigosas glabra. Florum 
alabastra juniora tantum vidi: hee parva sunt et iis Grifithiæ 
fragrantis haud dissimilia, pentamera, ovario biloculari, loculis pluri- 
ovulatis, stylo apice bifido. Bacce pedicello 1-2-lineari fulte, sub- 
globosæ, 4-6 lin. diametro, albæ. Semina 2 v. 3, rarius 4, pulpa 
nidulantia, majuscula, ovoidea, testa crustacea albida, albumine -— 
tilaginea. Æmbryo parvus, radicula tereti cotyledonibus ovatis 
longiore. 
From the top of Victoria Peak. Allied in habit on the one hand to 
the Diplospora viridiflora, on the other to Cuming's n. 1514, from the 
Philippine Islands, which is an undoubted Randia. Another single 
specimen in Major Champion’s own herbarium, from the Happy Valley - 
woods, also with white fruit, but with longer, membranous, acuminate 
. leaves, may prove to be a distinct species.

5-dentato tubo corollæ dimidio breviore, corolle laciniis oblongis
