SPICILEGIA FLORiE SINENSIS. 



by myself near Anioy, in October, 1857, and by Mr. Sampson at 

 Swa-tow in Jmie, 1866, in both cases very sparingly, and now first 

 recorded from Kwaug-tuug. 



30. Sicertia [Ophelia) vacillans Hance. — In collibus circa Nam- 

 fung, ins. Hai-nan, d. 6 Nov. 1882, leg. rev. B. 0. Henry. This 

 is, I think, nearest 5. dihita Benth. & Hook, f., from which it 

 is midistinguishable in appearance, but differs by the scale covering 

 the foveolje. 



31. Ipomcea }nleata Eoxb. — Juxta Wo-chi, ins. Hai-nan, d. 31 

 Oct. 1882, leg. rev. B. C. Henry. 



32. Ipunnca capitelhita Choisy. — Prope Wo-chi, ins. Hai-nan, d. 

 31 Oct. 1882, leg. rev. B. G. Henry. 



33. Fmiluicnia iiiipcrialis Sieb. & Zucc. — Juxta oppidum Shui- 

 kwan, ad ripas fl. Kam-kong, in fl. North Eiver influentis, prov. 

 Cantonensis, circ. 300 m. p. a metropoli septentrionem versus, 

 m. Dec. 1883, leg. rev, B. C. Henry. Not previously recorded 

 from Kwang-tung. 



34. Centranthera Brmiuniana Wall. — In jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. 

 Cantonensis, m. Sept. 1883, coll. rev. E. Faber. I have seen no 

 authentic specimen, but the Chinese plant agrees well with 

 Bentham's diagnosis, and as to the dimensions of calyx and corolla. 

 When the monograph in the ' Prodromus ' was published (1846), 

 Martaban was the only locality where it was known to occur, and 

 I have no means here of ascertaining its distribution, according to 

 more recent investigations. 



35. Ghiiita obtusa C. B. Clarke in D.C. Mon. Phau. v. pt. i. 

 p. 113. — Herbacea, caulescens, 6-8 pollicaris, foliis ellipticis acutis 

 insequaliter serratis supra passim subtus prtecipue secus nervos una 

 cum caule pilis albidis septatis villosis circ. 4 poll, longis petiolo 

 9-18 lineali, cymis axillaribus et terminalibus laxifloris, pedicellis 

 divaricatis v. refractis 4-5 lin. longis, calycis 5-fidi semipollicaris 

 laciniis linearibus, corollte 2^ pollicaris cum inflorescentia tota 

 glanduloso-pilosas e tubo gracili albido leviter sensim ampliatsB 

 lobis ovatis acutis violascentibus, geuitalibus faucem baud attin- 

 gentibus, capsula tenui lineari 4-pollicari, stylo stigmate breviter 

 bicruri coronato. 



In jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. Cantonensis, m, Sept. 1883, leg. rev. 

 E. Faber. (Herb, propr. n. 22221.) 



I had described this as new, under the name of C. loiu/ituba, but 

 Mr. Ford gave me the above name, as received from Kew. I leave 

 my original diagnosis. The species is evidently a very close ally 

 of my C. macrosiphcm (Ann. sc. nat. ser. 5, v. 321), but still perfectly 

 distinct. 



36. Hygroji/iila phlomoidea N. ab E.— Ad Lam-ko, ins. Hai-nan, 

 d. 31 Oct.' 1882, coll. rev. B. C. Henry. 



37. Gmelina cliinensis Benth. — In jugo Lo-fau-shan, prov. 

 Cantonensis, m. Sept. 1883, leg. rev. E. Faber. A single speci- 

 men, the only one I have ever seen of this very rare plant. I find 

 the corolla pubescent, and the leaves with the under surface densely 

 studded with white glands, such us are met with in many Clero- 

 dendra ; besides which they are clothed with short hairs.
