FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 197 
Wong-ny-Chung Valley, Victoria Peak, etc. Flowers in May and 
ripens its fruit in the middle of July. As a species it comes near in 
character to that of M. longifolius from Malacca, and to some of the 
Javanese ones very shortly described by Blume, but is quite distinct 
from any with which I am acquainted.

On Mount Gough and Moünt Victoria; flowering in June. The 
genus is certainly nearly allied to Guettarda, but the calyx, tetrame- 
rous flowers, and inflorescence are rather those of Chomelia, from which 
it differs in the number of carpels of the ovary and fruit being four or 
five instead of two only. qi it a "3
