16 SPICILE&IA FLOR-E SINENSIS. 



62. RhaphidopJwra pitmata, Schott. Ad Lien-fa-shan, secus fl. 

 Cantonensem, ipse legi, d. 3 Mali, 1869. Known only hithei-to 

 from Timor and Eastern tropical Australia. 



63. Cypenrs (jlohosus, All. Prope vicum Ta-chiao-sze, ditionis 

 Pekinensis, m. Sept., 1874, coll. Dr. 0. a Moellendorff. 



64. Cijperus EnKjrostis, Vahl. Cum praBcedenti specie. I find 

 South Chinese specimens to be sometimes diandi-ous. Both these 

 widely difi'used Cijperi are additions to the Peking flora. 



65. Fimhristijlis subbispicata, Nees & Meyen. Ad Ta-chiao-sze, 

 pagum inter septentrionem et solis occasum situm, m. Aug., 1874, 

 coll. Dr. 0. a Moellendorff. Known previously only from Southern 

 China, as far north as Amoy, and from the Philippines. 



G6. Fimbristi/Iis oralis, N. ab E. Prope eundem vicum, Sept., 

 1874, leg. Dr. 0. a Moellendorff. Occurs in various parts of 

 India, in Ceylon, and in New Caledonia (Vieillard, n. 1448), but 

 had not before, I believe, been found anywhere in China. No 

 FifubrisUjIis is mentioned in Maximowicz's ' Index florae Pekinensis,' 

 and the detection of the above two species affords another 

 example of the mingling of northern and tro^Dical forms in Eastern 

 China. 



67. Scirpus triqiieter, Linn. Prope Ta-chiao-sze, Aug., 1874, 

 leg. Dr. 0. a Moellendorff. I have previously recorded this as a 

 native of the Canton flora (Trimen's * Journ. Bot.' xii., 329.) I am 

 now enabled to add it to the Peking list. 



68. Scleria elata, Thw. In montibus Pak-wan, supra Can- 

 tonem, d. 22 Junii, 1870, leg. Sampson. Not hitherto known from 

 China. 



69. Panicum viUosum, Lam. Circa Macao ipse legi, Junio, 

 1863 ; in ditione Amoyensi, Maio, 1866, necnon in ins. Wong- 

 mau, 40 mill. pass, ad occid. coloniae Macaiensis sita, exeunte 

 Julio, 1867, invenit Sampson. Found in various parts of India 

 and Ceylon, but not known previously from China. I give the 

 name — already suspected to belong here by Nees — on the authority 

 of General Munro. It is the P. coccospermum of Steudel. 



70. Sorghum halepense, Pers. Secus fluvios xirov. Cantonensis 

 in pluribus locis| vulgo invenitur, nonnunquam gregarie crescens, 

 longosque tractus segetis instar occupans, nuUibi tamen, ut videtur, 

 cultum. 



71. Mclica nutans, Linn. Versus cacumen m. Po-hua-shan, 

 China3 bor., alt. 6-7000 ped., d. 20 Junii, 1875, coll. Dr. 0. a 

 Moellendorff. Plentiful in Amuria, but new to the Peking, and, I 

 believe, to the Chinese flora. 



72. Rottboellia exaltata, Linn. f. In fossis circa Amoy, ipse 

 legi m. Octobri, 1857 ; in subhumidis ins. Danorum, Whampose, 

 d. 6 Aug., 1873, primus detexit filius Alfredus. New to the 

 Canton flora. 



73. Leptochilus quercifolius, Fee. Ad rijDas deruptas in con- 

 vallibus montium Pak-wan, juxta Cantonem, ipse legi, d. 23 Julii, 

 1871 ; iterumque secus fl. West Eiver, Jul., 1872. Though 

 recorded by Fee as gathered in China by Moreau, I am not aware 

 that it has been found by any collector for many years past,
