SPICILEGIA FLOE^ SINENSIS: DIAGNOSES OF NEW, 

 AND HABITATS OF EAEE OE HITHEETO UN- 

 EECOEDED, CHINESE PLANTS. 



By H. F. Hance, Ph.D., Memb. Acad. Nat. Cur., &c., &c. 

 (Concluded from -p. 261). 



32. Viburnum [Euvihurnmn, dentata, asiatica) tonientosimi, Thunb. 

 — In prov. An-hwei, circa Wu-bu, Maio, 1881, leg. T. L. Bullock. 



33. Ahelia chinensis, E. Br. — In rupestribus ad angustias 

 Yeung-tin, secus fl. Lien-cbau, prov. Cantonensis, 290 m. p. a 

 Cantone, d. 12. Oct. 1881, florentim legit rev. B. C. Henry. These 

 specimens, the first I have seen in flower, show that my Amoy 

 plant, named by the late Prof. v. Martins A. Hanceana, is identical. 

 The flowers are white, with a faint blush of pink. I have com- 

 pared the plant with the plate given opposite p. 376 of Abel's 

 * Narrative of a Journey into the Interior of China,' and E. Brown's 

 description. 



34. Diervilla japonica, DC. — In prov. An-hwei, prope Wu-hu, 

 Maio 1881, leg. T. L. Bullock. I follow Asa Gray in reducing 

 Lindley's Weigela rosea to De Candolle's species. The specimen is 

 undistinguishable from a Japanese one received from M. Maxi- 

 mowicz as D. versicolor, Sieb. & Zucc.

 passim scaberula, ramulis tenuibus teretibus, foliis oblongis

Circa oppidum I-chang, prov. Hu-peh, m. Junio 1880 invenit 

 T. Watters. (Herb, propr. n. 21721.) 



A curious plant, the true relationship of which has caused me 

 some perplexity. I believe, however, notwithstanding its penta- 

 merous flowers, and the very elongated calyx- teeth, that I have 

 rightly estimated its position ; and I think it is somewhat, though
