1. Clematis (Flarnmula) casariata, n. sp. ; caule scandente cum pe- 

 tiolis petiolulisque cinereo-hirtis, foliis torto-petiolatis pinnatisectis 

 segmentis 3 e basi cuneata ovatis acutis distanter denticulatis supra 

 pubenti-hirtis subtus villosis trinerviis petiolulatis, cymis trifloris pe- 

 dunculo brevi apice bracteas binas oblongas integras vel basi 2-3- 

 sectas gerente suffultis, floribus longe (3^ poll.) pedicellatis, pediceUis 

 supra basin bibracteolatis cum pcdunculo fulvo-tomentosis, acha^niis 

 confertissimis lanceolatis compressis hirsutis 3 lineas longis Cauda bi- 

 pollicari longe fulvescenti-villosa termiiiatis. — In provincia Fokien, a. 

 1861, legit amicissimus C. F. M. De Grijs. (Exsicc. n. 6700.) 



I have seen no flowering specimens of this plant, which may be the 

 soutliern Chinese one suggested by Drs. Hooker and Thomson (Fl. 

 Indica, vol. i. p. 8) as possibly idendical with C. Javana, De Cand. ;

2. Artahotrys Ilonkongetisis, n. sp. ; ramulis nigrescentibus novellis 

 fulvo-hirteUis, foliis coriaceis ellipticis breviter et obtuse acuminatis 

 supra lucidis subtus elevato-reticulatis novellis fulvo-sericeis adultis 

 praeter costam subtus strigosam glabenimis 2-3-pollicaribus, pedun- 

 culis unifloris, sepalis ovatis acutis, petalorum inter se vix dissimilium 

 parte basali excavata late ovata pallida dense sericea laminae crassissimse 

 linguiformi saturatiori minus sericese sequilonga superne in corniculum 

 obtusum. distinctum producta. — In insula Hongkong; specimen meum 

 lectum est m. Aug. 1853, in monte Gough. (Exsicc. n. 269.) A. 

 Blumei, Hook. f. et Thomson, ex parte ; Benth. in Fl. Hongk. 



Neither Drs. Hooker and Thomson nor Mr. Bentham had seen Java- 

 nese specimens of the plant associated by the first-named authors with 

 Champion's Hongkong species. Through tlie kindness of Mr. Teijs- 

 mann, of the Buiteuzorg Garden, to whom I am indebted for a beauti- 

 ful collection of the Auonacea of Netherlands India, I have been en-
