38 SPICILEGIA FLOR^ SINENSIS. 



adtingens ; W. Hancock; in prov. Kwei-chau, Apr. 1880, leg. W 

 Mesny. 



42. Prunella vulgaris, Linn. — In vicinibus oppidi Chin-kiang, 

 prov. Kiang-sii, Maio 1880, coll. Bullock ; juxta urb. Chung-king, 

 prov. Sz-chu'an, invenit E. H. Parker, vere 1881. The authors of 

 the ' Genera Plantarum ' have given the sanction of their authority 

 to the orthograp)hy Brunella for this genus. Of the older botanists 

 some wrote Brunella, some Prunella, as may be seen by the citations 

 of Linnaeus (Hort. Cliffort. 316) ; but he himself definitively 

 adopted the latter name, and the existence of the universally recog- 

 nised genus Brunellia, in Simarubacese, seems to me a sufficient 

 reason for following him. 



43. Marrubium [Lagopsis) incisum, Benth. — In collidus circa 

 Chin-kiang, prov. Kiang-su, Maio 1880, coll. Bullock. Finer and 

 more luxuriant specimens than any I have seen from Peking. 



44. Phytolacca (Pircimia) acinosa, Eoxb. — In collibus circa 

 Chin-kiang, prov. Kiang-su, Maio 1880, leg. Bullock. 



45. Machilus Grijsii, Hance. — In prov. Cantonensi, secus fl. 

 Lien-chau, m. Martio 1881, coll. rev. B. C. Henry. Only known 

 hitherto from Fo-kien. 



46. Lindera [Sassafrlmorpha) triloba, Bl. — In umbrosis montanis 

 agri Ningpoensis, exeunte Maio 1877, raro crescentem invenit 

 Hancock. Leaves only, and these considerably larger than in an 

 authentic s^Decimen from the Leyden Museum. 



47. Elceagnus umbeUata, Thunb. — Chin-kiang, prov. Kiang-su, 

 Maio 1880 ; Bullock. 



48. Securinega raniiflora, Miill.-Arg. — In collibus, Chin-kiang, 

 prov. Kiang-su, Maio 1880, leg. Bullock. I have never before seen 

 specimens from any locality south of the Peking mountains. 



49. Microdesmis caseariifolia, 'Plsbuch. — In silvis ad Ting-ii-shan, 

 prov. Cantonensis, exeunte Maio 1867, coll. T. Sampson. 



50. Ficus (Eusyce) parasitica, Kon. ? — Secus fl. West River, 

 prov. Cantonensis, m. Jun. 1865, coll. T. Sampson. This agrees 

 well with Miquel's description (Ann. mus. hot. Lugd.-Bat. iii. 

 276) and Wight's figure (Icon. pi. Ind. or. ii., t. 652), but I have 

 no authentic specimens for comparison. 



51. Debregeasia edulis, Wedd. — Juxta I-chang, prov. Hu-peh, m. 

 Aprili 1880, leg. am. T. Watters. Now first recorded fi'om the 

 Chinese continent, but gathered in Formosa by Oldham. 



52. Salix {Pleiandrw., tropica'., tetrasperma), Mesnyi, sp. nov. — 

 Arbuscula 12-pedalis, foliis membranaceis ovato-ellipticis basi 

 rotundatis vel subcordatis cuspidato-acuminatis acute crenatis 

 glaberrimis rete venarum venularumque utrinque elevatarum

 densifloris, squamis subrotundis dorso parce pilosis margine dense 

 ciliatis, staminum 6-10 filamentis inferne pilosis, amentis femineis

 squamis ovatis acutis glaberrimis capsula triplo brevioribus.
