258 SPICILEGIA FLORiE SINENSIS. 



6. Stellaria [EiisteUana, Larbrce) chinensis, Kegel. — In prov. An- 

 hwei, prope Wu-liu, Maio 1881, leg. am. T. L. Bullock. This in- 

 teresting species had only been gathered in the extreme north 

 of China ; and it would appear that the only specimens in Europe 

 are in Fischer's herbarium at St. Petersburg. 



7. Myricaria alopecuroides, Schrenk. — Juxta lacum Ko-ko-nor, 

 leg. W. Mesny, a. 1881. 



8. Triuin/etta {Lappula) procumbe7is, Forst. — Ad Lincoln Island, 

 inss. " Paracels " dictarum, maris austro-chinensis, m. Aprili 1882, 

 leg. Dr. Gaehde, medicus classiarius imp. germ. 



9. Lvoiianthes chinensis, Champ. — In silvis ch'ca ccenobium 

 buddhicum Fi-loi-tsz, juxta fl. North Eiver, prov. Cantonensis d. 2. 

 Oct. 1881, leg. rev. B. C. Henry. This i)lant, originally described 

 fi-om Hong Kong specimens, was accidentally overlooked by Mr. 

 Bentham in the ' Flora Hongkongensis,' as well as by myself in 

 the Su23plemeiit. Mr. Ford was the first to rediscover it, after it 

 had been searched for in vain in the island for about thirty 

 years. The h'uit is considerably larger than in I. icosandra, Jack 

 (Griffith! n. 784/1), or 1. cuneata, Miq. (Sumatra, Teijsmann !), 

 and one-third shorter than the Phu-kok (Gulf of Siam) speci- 

 men of Pierre's, which I have referred in this journal to I. 

 reticulata, Jack, besides being more ovoid and sharp, rather than 

 ellipsoid. The oblique nucleus of the seed is 4-4^ lines long, 

 and crowned with a wing 5-6 lines in length. I have not seen 

 the flowers. 



10. Zyqupjhyllum Fabayo, Linn. — In Ko-ko-nor, a. 1881, leg. 

 W. Mesny. 



11. Sarcozyyiitm Xanthoxylum, Bge. — Ch'ca Hami, Turkestanise 

 chinensis, m. Maio 1881, coll. W. Mesny. There is surely no 

 reason for keeping this apart fi-om Zyyophylliim, which to me does 

 not seem divisible into well-marked sections. Baillon (Hist. pi. iv. 

 417j has, with proper judgment, reduced it. 



12. Feyamnn. Harmala, Linn. — Circa urbem Hami, Tui'kestanise 

 chinensis, Maio 1881, leg. W. Mesny. 



13. LiMONiA ? TRicHocARPA, sp. uov. — Frutcsceus, ramulis cum 

 spinis rectis XDollicaribus glaberrimis, foliis 3-foliolatis foliolis mem- 

 branaceis obovatis obtusissimis margine crispulis reticulato-venosis 

 tcrminali basi subito augustato 1^-pollicari lateralibus triente brevi- 

 oribus prseter costam supra pubescentem glaberrimis petiolo alato 

 sensim leviter ampliato foliolo terminali t'equilongo supra secus 

 medium i)ubescente, fructibus axillaribus solitariis brevissime 

 pedunculatis sphiericis diametro pollicari pilis brevibus cinereis 

 dense intertextis hirtis. 



Ad Chung-King, prov. Sz-ch'uan, aestate 1881, legit E. H. 

 Parker. (Herb, propr. n. 21872.) 



The very scanty specimen sent admits of no fuller character, 

 but it seems to be a true Limonia. 



14. ViTis [Euvitis, Ampelos) adstricta, s^d. nov. — Scandens, 

 ramulis inflorescentiae rachi foliisque subtus tomcnto denso floccoso 

 cano v. paUide fulvido vestitis, stipulis lanceolatis scariosis tomen- 

 tosis, foliis ambitu triangulato-ovatis basi cordatis palmatilobis
