Bauhinia (Pkanera) Championi BENTH. FL Hongk. p. 99 ; HAYATA Ic. 

 PL Formos. I. p. 211 "A woody climber, the young branches, under side of 

 the leaves, and inflorescences hoary Avith a minute tomentum, but otherwise 

 glabrous. Leaves broadly cordate, 5-7-nerved, 2|-4 in. long, 2 to 2^ in. broad, 

 divided to about one-third into 2 broad obtuse lobes. Tendrils single, leaf- 

 opposed. Racemes leaf-opposed, simple or several together at the ends of the 

 branches, 4 to 8 in. long, flowering nearly from the base. Flowers pedicellate, 

 white. Calyx-tube very short, lobes lanceolate, about 2 lines long. Petals 

 scarcely longer, nearly equal, with a few hairs outsides. Stamens 3, about twice 

 as long as the calyx, the other 7 very minute or wanting. Pod about 3 in. 

 long, 1 in. broad, 3- to 5-seeded. Common in ravines." BENTH. I.e. p. 99. Our 

 plant accords pretty well with the above quoted description. A very slight 

 disaccordance is to be seen in the petals which in our plant are much longer 

 than the calyx-lobes and also in the stamens which in our plant are much 

 longer than in the description. Our specimen is lacking fruit.
