SPICILEGIA FLOR^ SINENSIS. 113 



curoides, Rottb. A specimen which I possess labelled C. alopecuruides, 

 and gathered by Despreaux in the Grand Canary, is, however, quite 

 different, and very much like the Egyptian C. dives, Del. 



60. Cyperus procerus, Roth. In fossis cu'ca Cantonem, d. 21 

 Nov. 1869, coll. Sampson. Glumes of a brighter, less rubicund 

 and more orange tint than in Ceylon specimens, but I can detect 

 no other difference. 



61. Cyperus radiatus, Yahl. ? Ipse legi, Whampoae, Augusto, 

 1860, et cum prsecedente invenit Sampson. Very close to the 

 Canarian plant I have as C. alopecur aides. 



62. Panicum (^Urochloa) semialatum, R. Br. In montibus Pak- 

 wan, alibique juxta Cantonem, non rarum. 



63. Garnotia adscendens, Munro. Infra aquam desilientem, 

 Ting-ii-shan, i^rov. Cantonensis, d. 31 Oct., 1867, coll. Sampson. 

 The specimens seem quite identical with those from Khasia dis- 

 tributed by Drs. Hooker and Thomson. 



64. Manisuris granularis, Sw. In collibus arenoso-psammiticis 

 ins. Danorum, Whampoae, detexit fihus Alfredus, d. 6 Aug. 1870. 

 Recorded by Kunth, on whose authority I do not know, as a native 

 of China ; but not to my knowledge collected there by any botanist 

 during the present century. 



65. Cryptogramma gracilis, Torr. (= Pteris Stelleri, Gmel.) In 

 m. Siao Wu-tai-shan, Chin® borealis, Jul. 1876, leg. W. Hancock. 

 Precisely like Canadian specimens, and more robust and better 

 developed than Turczaninow's, gathered at the River Oka, in 

 Siberia, which resemble Trautvetter's figure (' Imag. PI. Ross.,' t. 5.) 

 Though, contrary to Milde's decision, I think this most likely 

 specifically distinct from C. crispa, it certainly cannot, in any 

 arrangement claiming to be natural, be placed in another genus, 

 as is done by Sir W. Hooker, Mr. Baker, and Professor Eaton. 

 The first-named writer, whilst remarking that the American fern 

 is rather a Pellaa than a Cryptogramma, yet referred the Siberian 

 specimens to C. crispa, R. Br. An addition to the Chinese 

 flora. 



QQ. AsjAenium heterocarpum, Wall. Ad ripas torrentium, prope 

 coenobium buddhicum Fi-loi-taz, secus amnem North River 

 prov. Cantonensis, d. 27 Julii 1864, primus in China detexit 

 Sampson. 



67. Asplenium normale, Don. In fissuris aridis rupium, ad 

 cacumma montium Pak-wan, prope Cantonem ; ad fauces Tsing- 

 yiin-hap, necnon in aliis locis provinciae Cantonensis. 



68. Aspidimn crenatum, Willd. (= yephrodium odoratwn, Baker.) 

 In rupe calcarea Kai-kun-shek, secus fl. West River, prov. Can- 

 tonensis, m. Junio 1864, primus detexit Sampson. 



69. Aspidium amahile, Bl. Prope pagum Sung-tong, adversus 

 ins. Hongkong, a. 1856, leg. b. Dr. Harland ; necnon in aliis locis 

 Chinae australis, sed non vulgo, occm-rit. I mention this fern 

 because, though it is included in my ' Supplement to the Flora 

 Hongkongensis,' Mr. Baker has, by some oversight (' Journ. Bot.,' 

 xiii., 200), stated Dr. Shearer, who met with it near Kiu-kiang, to 

 have been its first discoverer in China. Dr. Harland's specimens
