SPICILEGIA FLOR^ SINENSIri. 13 



in naming it (' Act. hort. Petrop.' iii., 139) takes exactly the same 

 view of its position as I do ; and I am truly glad my specific name 

 is superseded by that of the excellent and amiable botanist to 

 whom he has dedicated it. Dr. v. Moellendorff, when sending 

 specimens of this lovely plant, wrote : — " Amicus noster cl. Dr. 

 Bretschueider erravisse mihi videtur colorem hujus floris saturate 

 purpureum appellans. Equidem, nullum nisi rubrum (tamquam 

 Lilii tenuifolii) florem vidi. Primidcc speciem a cl. P. David in opera 

 suo " Eenseignements," etc., enumeratam, eandem esse credo, 

 cujus colorem auctor franco-gallice ' rouge ponceau ' esse scripsit. 

 Nonnunquam etiam caulis hujus stirpis ruber v. rubescens in- 

 venitur." A primrose like this, with flowers of the colour of a 

 corn-poppy, would unquestionably be a fine addition to European 

 gardens, and it would, of course, be perfectly hardy. 



38. Jasmbmm undulatum, "Willd. In fruticetis ditionis Can- 

 tonensis vulgaris. Mr. Baker has quite recently (*F1. Maurit.' 221) 

 referred this as a synonym to the well-known J. Sambac, Ait. If, 

 as I believe there is no doubt, the Canton plant belongs to 

 Willdenow's species, the two appear to me (and I have both living 

 before me) utterly and unmistakably distinct in habit, colour and 

 shape of leaves, and flowers. 



89. Bonnaya reptcms, Spr. Cantone, ipse primum legi, Nov., 

 1856; in interioribus provincise hinc inde occurrens quam B. 

 brachiatam tamen multo rarior. The remaining Chinese species 

 have been enumerated by M. Maximowicz ('Mel. Biol. Acad. St. 

 Petersb.' ix., 421.)

41. Peristrophe tinctoria, N. ab E. Circa Hoi-hau, ins. Hai-nan, 

 invenit Bullock. These and Dr. von MoeUendorfi''s Kiu-kiang 

 specimens are the only ones I have seen of Chinese .origin. 



42. Myoporum {Pentaccelium) chinense, A. Gr. Ad ripas fluvii 

 juxta Pak-hoi, ora australiori prov. Kwang-tung, m. Dec, 1877,

 as far as I am aware, only found on the Fokien coast.
