A SIXTH DECADE OF NEW CHINESE PLANTS. 131 



size and shape of its leaflets and in inflorescence not unlike A. temoflorus, 

 Spruce ; and I believe it is closely allied to that, and probably also to 

 A. melanospermns, Hassk., to jud<^e from the description. The presence 

 of stipellae in this 2;enus, which I had supposed myself the first to indi- 

 cate (Seem. Journ. Eot. Yol. VI. p. 113) had, I find, already been detected 

 bv my acute friend Dr. Thwaites (Enum. PI. Zeyl. p. 91) in A. pulchellus.

Juxta viam a ripa fl. West Kiver ad ingentem rupem calcaream Kai-

Allied somewhat to C. WifjJdianum, Wall., and probably still more to 

 C. neurophyllum, Miq., and C. sarcopterum, Thw., and several Moluccau 

 species, none of which, however, I have seen.

Ad cacumina montiura Pakwan, supra Cantonem, d. 8 Octobris, 1869, 

 sparsim obviam invenerunt Sampson et Hance. (Exsicc. n. 16393.) 



The plant itself is quite scentless, but the fruit — fresh or dried, ripe or 

 unripe — when cut across, exhales a powerful and most delicious odour,
