10 SPICILEGIA FLOR.E SINENSIS. 



Oct., 1857; in fruticetis Cantonensibus m. Maio, 1878, invenit 

 E. H. Parker. Mr. Bentham referred my Amoy specimens to 

 X 7utidum, Bge., which is, however, different, being the X. Biingei, 

 Planch., named later by me X. simulans. The present plant which 

 I, relying on Bentham' s supposed identification, also described as 

 X. Bungei, scarcely differs from X. j)lanispinum, S. & Z., to which 



1 referred the first specimens I gathered. (See 'Ann. sc. nat.' 5e. 

 s^r. V. 209 ; and Maximo wicz, * Mel. Biol. Acad. St. Petersb.' viii., 



2 and 372.) 



14. Amoora Eohitiika, W. & A. Circa Hoi-hau, ins. Hai-nan, 

 a. 1877, coll. Bullock. Not, I think, previously recorded as 

 Chinese. 



15. Zizyphus Jujiiha, Lam. Prope Tien-pak, ora australiori 

 prov. Cantonensis, ipse legi, m. Novembri, 1866. 



16. Zizyphus vuh/aris, Lam. Ad. Fuk-wing, prov. Cantonensis, 

 coll. b. Krone ; in ditione Pekinensi ubique reperitur. Extensively 

 grown in some parts of Kwang-tung for the fruit.; when dried 

 usually known to foreigners as " dates," which they resemble a 

 good deal in apj)earance. 



17. Schniidelia Cobbe, DC. Ch'ca Hoi-hau ins. Hai-nan, aest. 

 1877, legit Bullock. 



18. Crotalaria medicaginea, Lam. In fancibus Sam-yung, fl. 

 West Eiver, prov. Cantonensis, d, 8 Junii, 1867, coll. Sampson. 



19. Crotalaria striata, D.C. Whampoae, in ins. Danorum, m. 

 Novembri, 1868, legit filius Alfredus. 



20. Melilotus macrorrhiza, Pers. Secus ripas fl. "West Eiver, 

 alibique in prov. Cantonensi, quotannis m. Junio flf. et frf. copiose 

 occurrens, absque dubio vere spontanea. 



21 Desmodium reticulatum, Champ., forma fohis omnibus uni- 

 foliolatis. Circa Hoi-hau, ins. Hai-nan, sest. 1877, collegit Bullock. 

 This is certainly specifically identical with the Hong-Kong plant, 

 the lower leaves of which have not unfrequently but one leaflet. 



22. Derris oblonga, Bentli. Inter rupes ad ripas limosas fl. 

 Cantonensis, fl. Aprili frf. Jun.-Jul., 1870, detexit Sampson. Now 

 first recorded from China. 



23. Scotanthus tubijiorus, Naud. ? Circa Hoi-hau, ins. Hai-nan, 

 aest. 1877, coU. Bullock. Apparently referable to this species, but 

 the calyx-tube is much more woolly than represented by Naudin. 

 (• Ann. sc. nat.' 4e. ser. xvi., t. 3.) 



24. Bruguiera cylindrica, Bl. Circa Hoi-hau, ins. Hai-nan, aest, 

 1877, coll. Bullock. Identical with Pierre's plant from Phu-kok, 

 before enumerated by me. I suspect Mr. Kurz may be correct 

 ('Joum. As. Soc. Bengal,' xlvi., 51) in acknowledging only one 

 species of this section, B. gynmorrhiza, Lam. 



25. Quisqualis indica, Linn. Secus fl. West River, copiose ; 

 juxta Hoi-liau, ins. Hai-nan, coll. Bullock. There is, I believe, but 

 one species of Quisqualis in this part of China, and I do not think 

 either Q. sinensis, Lindl., or Q. grandifiora, Miq., have any claim to 

 distinction. 



26. Eugenia Grijsii, Hance. Secus fl. Lien-chau, prov. Can- 

 tonensis, supra oppidulum Tai-wan, 55 mill. pass, ab ostio, Oct.,
