A List of Plants from Kwangtung. 



By 

 SiKlaliisa Malsiida. 



A small lunnbcr of j)laiits collected in Kwangtung by Mr. Li^^ was 

 sent to me through the kindness of Mr. Wu"^ who is in Peking. Tlio 

 present list is the result of the sttidy of these plants. Most of their 

 names are cited in tlic recent work of Dunn and Tutcher : — Flora of 

 Kwangtung and Hongkong. But some names are not found in it, 

 though the}' are reported from Hainan, an island olT tlie coast of 

 Kwangtung. These are lonidium sitff'ruticosum, Hibiscus surattensis, 

 Justicin diffusa, and Streblus aspcr. However, I am not ver}- sure 

 whether the collection was made in the continent exclusively or in 

 that island also. Besides, there is a jjlant in the collection which is not 

 hitherto reported from China, as far as I know, — Desmodium rotundi- 

 folium Bak. ; and if my determination is right, the plant is new to 

 the flora of China. Finall}^ I add one name of a plant which I treat 

 as a form of MoUugo striata L. — forma Kwangtungcnsis. 



Here I express my thanks to the two gentlemen wlio sent the 

 plants to me for examination. Also sincere thanks to Prof. J. Alatsu- 

 mura of our Imperial lluniversity of Tokyo, in the Botanical Institute 

 of which I studeid tlic above material.
