SPICILEGIA FLOKiE SINENSIS. H 



locality quoted from me by Maximowicz refers to the preceding 

 species. 



22. Fragaria collina, Ehrh. ? In m. Siao wu tai slian, Jul. 

 1876, coll. W. Hancock. The specimen is in blossom only, and 

 has a 1-flowered scape ; it is therefore not possible to determine it 

 with certainty, but it probably belongs to this species, and is, 

 I beheve, the only true Strawberry hitherto recorded from China 

 proper. 



23. Potentilla discolor, Bge. Secus fl. North Kiver, prov. Can- 

 tonensis, Martio, 1877. T. L. Bullock. - Not previously found in 

 Southern China. Smaller than the northern and Formosan 

 specimens. 



24. Cmtmius cuneata, S. & Z. Juxta Chinkiang, 1876, legit 

 Stronach. Previously gathered by Mr. F. B. Forbes at Kiu-kiang. 

 The specimens are more typical than a Yokuhama one I have 

 from Maximowicz. 



25. Saxifraga (Neplirophyllum) cernua, Linn. In monte Sia 

 wu tai shan,* 100 mill. pass, a Peking, occasum versus, Juho, 

 1876, leg. W. Hancock. Not uncommon in Siberia, but not here- 

 tofore recorded from China proi3er. 



26. Hydrangea chinensis, Maxim. Chmkiang, 1876. W. G. Stro- 

 nach. These are the only specimens I have seen of what is 

 apparently a rare species. 



27. Deutzia scahra, Thunb. Ch'ca Chinkiang, 1876, coll. Stro- 

 nach. Not to my knowledge previously recorded from the Chinese 

 continent. The specimens, however, appear certainly referable to 

 this sj)ecies, including D. crenata, S.'& Z. 



28. Sanicula lamelligera, sp. nov. Herbacea, 4-pollicaris, 

 radice fibrosa, foliis radicalibus longe petiolatis trifoliolatis foliohs 

 brevissime sed distincte petiolulatis basi cuneatis laterahbus bipar- 

 titis intermedio trilobo segmentis omnium inciso-serratis, serra- 

 turis mucronatis, caulibus foha vix superantibus scapiformibus, 

 umbella bh-adiata basi folio unico tripartito mucronato-serrato 

 involucrata, umbellulis pluribus 3-5 floris, floribus exterioribus 

 masculis pedicello ipsis paulo longiori gestis centrali femineo 

 sessili, calycis tubo lamellis pluribus angustis verticalibus alulato 

 laciuus linearibus, petalis obovatis retusis, staminum longe exser- 

 torum antheris albis. Secus fluvium North Piiver, prov. Can- 

 tonensis, coll. am. T. L. Bullock, Martio, 1877. (Herb, propr. 

 n. 19,942). 



A remarkable species, most nearly alhed to the Korean 

 S. tuherculata, Maxim., but very distinct from any hitherto de- 

 scribed. 



* This celebrated mountain, situated about eighty miles west of Peking, and 

 the loftiest in the neighbourhood, will be found laid down in the capital map 

 attached to Dr. Bretschneider's memoir, 'Die Pekinger Ebene nnd das benach- 

 barte Gebirgslande ' (Petermann's Mittheilung. Erganzungsheft, 46). Dr. 

 Bretschneider assigns it an elevation of more than 12,000 leet, and says that it 

 is covered with snow at the end of May. The plants of Mr. Hancock, who 

 I believe is the first foreigner to ascend the mountain, were gathered between 

 5300 and 10,100 feet.
