SPICILEGIA FLOR^ SINENSIS. 11 



1876, coll. Eev. J. C*. Nevin. Bacca globosa, 2-2^ lin. diametro 

 calycis tubo semilineali 4-dentato sinubus latis coronata. Only 

 previously known from Mr. De Grijs's Fokien specimens. (See 

 Seemann's ' Journ. Bot.' ix. 5.) 



27. Lagerstroemia indica, Linn. In collinis circa Cantonem, 

 necnon secus fluvios North et West Eivers, prov. Cantonensis, 

 vulgarem et certe spontaneam collegerunt Sampson aliique. 



28. Mollugo Spergula, Linn. Jnxta Hoi-han, ins. Hai-nan, coll. 

 Bullock. Common in various parts of India, but I do not think it 

 has been previously recorded from China. 



29. Sanicula lamelligera, Hance. Secus fl. North Eiver, juxta 

 confluentiamfl. Lien-chau, m. Oct., 1876, coll. domina L. Whilden. 

 Miss Whilden brought awaj^ a specimen of this, dug up amongst 

 some ferns, and it has since flowered and fruited abundantly, on a 

 piece of damp rock- work. From the living plant 1 am enabled to 

 add a fevv^ details and corrections to the original character of this 

 noteworthy species. Planta pedalis, umbellis nonnunquarn usque 

 ad 16-radiis nunc compositis, petalis pallide violaceis obtusiusculis 

 inflexis (haud retusis), antheris vii'gineis pallide violaceis cassis 

 albidis, fi'uctibus ovoideis lateraliter conspicue compressis com- 

 missura lata mericarpiis facile secedentibus lamelli vel costulis 10 

 subundulatis auctis, vittis sub singula costula solitariis. Maxi- 

 mowicz's S. tuherculata appears intermediate between S. hqyinnata, 

 H & A., and 8. tiiberosa, Torr. The present is the only known 

 species of the genus with distinct wing-like ribs to the fruit, and is 

 a very remarkable one.
