7. Eurya Japonica, Thunh., and Eurya Chinensis, 7?. Br. 



These two species Capt. Champion finds mixed up indiscriminately 

 in his collection, and he believes them to be identical. 



8. Pentaphylax euryoides, Gardn. Sf Champ. 



This new and curious genus is described in Hooker's Journal of 

 Botany, No. 8. p. 244-246. 



9. IxioNANTHES Chinensis ; subarbovea, foliis petiolatis alternis glabris 

 integris elongato-ellipticis apice einarginatis reticulatis, corymbis longe 

 pedunculatis axillaribus plurifloris dichotomis, staminibus 10 longissimis, 

 capsulis supra-uncialibus. 



Hab. in Insula Sinensi Hong Kong, in sylvis. 



Seeds of this species, which forms a small tree, sent by Capt. 

 Champion to the Royal Gardens at Kew, have vegetated. The 

 author states that having since compared his specimens with Jack's 

 description of his Sumatran species {Ixionanthes reticulata), he feels 

 some doubt of the distinctness of the plant of Hong Kong. It 

 differs however in the larger size of the leaves (5 in place of 3 inches 

 long), and will probably on comparison be found to do so in other 

 particulars. 



The paper was accompanied by drawings of Pentaphylax euryoides 

 and Ixionanthes Chinensis, with details of their fructification.

This species is most nearly allied to C. subsulcatus, but is 

 broader, with the thorax more broadly quadrate, the clava of the an- 

 tennae broader and of uniform width, the elytra without any appear- 

 ance of longitudinal sulci, the pronotum slightly channelled in the 

 middle, the tibiae broader, the head more thickly punctured, and the 

 elytra much less setose.
