FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 331 
lin. longo, rigido, supra plano, basi incrassato. Panicule thyrsoideæ 
v. subcorymbosæ, raro pollicares, densifloræ, tenuissime puberulæ, 
ramulis oppositis. Bractee lineari-carinatæ, 1-2 lin. longæ. Flores 
abortu subdioiei; Masculi :—Calyx semi-4-fidus, lobis triangulari- 
bus obtusis subciliolatis tubo corolle paulo brevioribus. Corolle 
tubus latus, 1 lin. longus, lobi lati obtusi 1 lin. longi. Filamenta 
usque ad apicem tubi adnata. Anéheræ corollam zequantes. Ovarium 
depresso-globosum, obsolete biloculare, ovulis inconspicuis, stylo 
nullo. Flores fertiles non vidi. Inflorescentia speciminis fructiferi 
eadem ae marium nisi minus ramosa. Drupe oblongæ, fere 6 lin. 
longs, pericarpio tenui, putamine lignoso, abortu monospermo. 
Near the top of the Waterfall in the Happy Valley. With flowers 
of the size of those of O. fragrans, but differently shaped, this species 
has the inflorescence of some species of De Candolle's first. division of 
Euclea, and leaves different from any Olea known to me. 
3. Ligustrum Sivense (Lour. Fl. Cochinch. p. 19?); foliis ovatis v. 
ovato-lanceolatis subtus ramisque pubescentibus, paniculis axillaribus 
terminalibusque densis multifloris, calyce obsolete dentato, corollae 
tubo brevissimo incluso, bacca globosa.—Afline L. Nepalensi, sed folia 
multo minora, calyx subinteger et baccee globose nec ellipticee. 
Cultivated, but found also frequently by roadsides, though perhaps 
not truly indigenous. No. 155 of Fortune's plants appears to be the 
same, and I should also, from the characters given, refer to the same 
species the Olea Walpersiana and the Olea consanguinea of Hance 
(Walp. Ann. Bot. vol. iii. p. 17, 18). No. A 64 of Fortune's Amoy 
collection is nearly allied, but smoother, and is probably the Ligustrum 
Stauntoni, DC. No. A 6 of the same collection agrees very well with 
Japanese specimens of Ligustrum Ibota, Sieb. et Zucc. 
JASMINE. 
1. Jasminum paniculatum, Roxb.—DC. Prodr. vol. viii. p. 310. 
Common on the Victoria Peak and other ravines. 
2. Jasminum officinale, Linn. ? 
A mere fragment in Col. Eyre’s collection. 
APOCYNEZ. 
Of the genus Melodinus there are three forms, all very similar to 
each other as well as to the M. monogynus of 
Roxburgh in general ap- — — x
