Most nearly allied apparently to E. Lindleyanum DC, but 

 certainly diflerent from that, as well as from all tlie Asiatic species 

 I have seen. The E. Tatarian plant referred to E. Lindleyunum in 

 the ' Flora Hongkongensis ' is no doubt E. Kirilowii Turcz., which 

 is, in my opinion, quite distinct. 



23. Codouopsis lanceulata Benth. — In jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. 

 Cantoneusis, m. Sept. 1883, invenit rev. E. Faber. A remarkably 

 interesting addition to the Kwang-tung flora, this very lovely 

 species having up to the present been known only from Japan, 

 Manchuria, and the extreme north of China. 



24. Campanula [Encudon) JnUjens Wall. — Juxta Shui-kwan, 

 secus fl. North Eiver, prov. Cantonensis, m. Nov. 1883, leg. rev. 

 B. C. Henry. Not previously known from China. In Mr. Henry's 

 specimens, which are quite smooth, the flowers are either single or 

 2-3 together on a peduncle, and borne on a long raceme at a con- 

 siderable distance from each other : the setaceous calyx-teeth are 

 four times as long as the tube, and the corolla is divided to 

 the base into very narrow segments shorter than the calyx-teeth. 



26. Adenophora verticillata Fisch. — Ad fl. North Kiver, prov. 

 Cantonensis, prope Shui-kwan, m. Nov. 1883, leg. rev. B. C. 

 Henry. A north-east Asiatic and Japanese plant, now for the first 

 time recorded from South China. 



26. IHospyros eriantha Champ. — In jurisdictione Hung-mo, 

 territorii indigenarum Lai dictorum, ins. Hai-nan, d. 21 Nov. 1882, 

 leg. rev. B. C. Henry. More hairy than specimens from Hong- 

 kong, which are, indeed, sometimes almost glabrous. 



27. Symplocos caudata Wall. — In prov. Fo-kien, a. 1861, coll. 

 De Grijs. {S. SivmJweana Hance) ; in colliuis, Ning-po, Apr. 1877, 

 leg. W. Hancock ; in jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. Cantoneusis, Sept. 

 1883, coll. C. Ford. 



28. Osmantlms fragrans Lour. — In jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. 

 Cantonensis, m. Oct. 1883, fructiferam leg. rev. E. Faber. The 

 only fruiting specimen I have ever seen. The drupe is oblong, 

 about 9 lines long, and has a tendency to di'y with a number of 

 longitudinal blunt angles or ribs, and the putamen is crustaceous. 



29. Mitrasacme {Mitrmtipie) indica Wight. — In herbidis humidis 

 juxta Cantonem, raram invenit T. Sampson, Nov. 1884. Found
