Q SPICILEGIA FLORiE SINENSIS. 



triple longioribus intus inferne dense lanatis, ovario lanato, 

 stamiuibus stylisqne glaberrimis. ,r .- -r.^-. 



In prov. Cantoneusi, secus fl. North Eiver, m. Martio 1881, 

 (letexit rev. B. C. Henry. (Herb, propr. n. 21091.) 



An extremely well-marked species, quite difterent li'om all 

 known to me, by its abbreviated roundish glabrous inflorescence, 

 and its fohage, and only agreeing with P- prunifolia, Lmdl. ! m its 

 black-dotted leaves. ^ , . -, 



21. Spinca {Chammlryon) media, Schmidt. — bat communis m 

 medio'moute Po-lma-shan, ad boream urb. Peking, m. Junio 1875, 

 coll. Dr. 0. a Moellendorff; in collinis prov. Kiang-su, prope 

 Chin-kiang, Maio 1880, leg. Bullock. Leaves quite smooth be- 

 neath in both specimens. 



22. Spiriia {CJiamadnjon) media, Schmidt, var. sericea, Eegel. — 

 Cii-ca oppidum Zhe-hoh, v. Jehol, Mongolise, m. Maio floridam 

 legit reverendus abbas David. 



23. Daucus Carota, Linn.— In montosis prov. Kiang-su, prope 

 Chin-kiang, vere 1880, leg. Bullock. 



2-4. lledeni Helix, Linn. — In prov. Cantouensi, secus fl. Lien 

 chau, m. Mart. 1181, sterilem mvenit rev. B. C. Henry. The first 

 south Chmese specimens ever brought to me of genuine ivy. The 

 leaves are very pretty, being cordate and trilobed, as usually 

 depicted by artists ; which form is not, I think, common in 

 India. 



25. Viburnum [FAivihurnum, Lantana), cotinifolium, Don, var. y. 

 Hook. f. & Th. — In prov. Hu-peh, circa I-chang, Apr. 1880, coll. 

 T. Watters ; in prov. Kwei-chau, juxta fl. Wu-kiang, alt. 6000', d. 

 11 Apr. 1880, invenit W. Mesny ; prope Chung-king, prov. 

 Sz-chu'an, vere 1881, leg. E. H. Parker. Not before, to my know- 

 ledge, recorded fi'om China. 



26. Ahelia serrata, Sieb. & Zucc. — Circa I-chang, prov. Hu-peh, 

 Junio 1880, coll. Watters ; ]3rope Chung-king, prov. Sz-chu'an 

 vere 1881, leg. Parker. I am not aware that this has been 

 gathered before truly wild in China. 



27. Cepludanthus naucledides , DC. — In prov. Kwang-si, d. 13 

 Junii 187tJ, coll. W. Mesny. Boxburgh describes his plant as 

 having yellow flowers, and says nothing of their being fragrant 

 (Fl. Ind. ed. Carey, i. 516); the specimen received by me is 

 labelled as being from a shrub about ten feet high, wuth white 

 sweet-scented blossoms. In every other respect it agrees so com- 

 pletely with lloxburgh's detailed character that I cannot doubt its 

 identity. 



28. Sen€cio(Cacalia) aconitifolia, Benth. & Hook. f. — Circa Chin- 

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



2'J. AndroHace [Andraspis) sa.vifrani folia, Bunge. — In prov. Can- 

 toneusi, secus fl. Lien-chau, Martio 1881, coll. rev. B. C. Henry. 

 A remarkably southern station for this plant.
