208 NOTES ON SOME CniNESK PLAXTf?. 



ad 2 poll, longis latisque petiolo circiter sesquipoll. longis ; floribus 

 racemoso-paniculatis, breviter pediccllatis, bracteatis, bracteis parvis 

 lanccolatis acutis, calycis lobis plaucis oblongo-lanceolatis per anthesin 

 ad 4 lin. longis, pcrsistentibus et auctis, corolla ad poll, longa lataque, 

 lobis rotundatis sub-acutis, ovario triloculare polyspermi. — Habitat in 

 collibus vicinitate Chcfoo leg. cl. Forbes. 



A very distinct species in its cordate petiolate stem-leaves, etc., 

 ^vhich I have dedicated to Mrs. F. B. Forbes, the discoverer. 



22. Adina ruhella, Hance. Kiukiang. 



23. Senecio ( Cacalia) hastata, L. Kiukiang. This very striking 

 plant has not previously been collected south of Manchuria. 



24. Saussiora, sp. n. Xiukiang ; same from Dr. Shearer. 



25. Artemmaanomala,^S.ooYQ. Kiukiang. 



26. Oleincanon, genus novum ? Shanghai. It is singular that 

 this shrub, whicli is commonly used for hedges about Shanghai, has 

 not been describi d. It was collected by Fortune and others ; but 

 only the flowers are known, and therefore it is impossible to say 

 whether it is the type of a distinct genus or not. It is a deciduous 

 shrub, having the general aspect of a Ligudrnm, but the flo\vers are 

 axillary, and very closely resemble those of Fonfanesia philli/raoides. 

 In some respects, too, it approaches Chionantlms and Osmantlius. 



27. CahjHtegia, sp. Kiukiang. This is the same as Hanco's 

 6507, and perhaps C. acetomfolin, Turcz., a species found in the Amur 

 country. 



28. Salvia officinali'^, L. Kiukiang. This is probably cultivated, 

 but I have seen no other specimens from China. 



29. Scutellaria sciapkila, S. ]i[oore. Interesting for the new 

 locality, Chefoo. 



30. Teucrium nejictcrfolium, Bth. Very fine specimens from the 

 Ta-hoo Lake. 



31. Perififroplie cJiinensis, Nees. Additional specimens of this rare 

 plant from Kingpo. 



* 32. IluELLiA SECLUSA, S. Moove, sp. n. — Caule erecto obtuse quad- 

 raiigulari demum glabrescente, foliis oblanceolatis acutis basi in 

 petiolum brcvem sensim angustatis margine dentato-undulatis pilis 

 appressis brevibus muuitis, inflorcscentia glomerulas congestas 

 paucifloras terminales axillaresve constituente, bracteis lanccolatis 

 calycem subrcquantibus, calycis segmentis lineari-lanceolatis acutis 

 glabresccntibus, corolla hypocratcrimorpho-campanulata tubo gracili 

 limbo ampliato lobis late ovato-rotundatis, antherarum loculis quad- 

 rilateralibus. 



Folia li-3 unc. longa, ^-^ unc. lata. Corolloe tubus 4 lin. longus ; 

 limbus 8 lin. diam , extus puborulis. Ovarium fere a basi circiter 

 12-ovulatum, glabrum. — Habitat Kiukiang. 



rianta it. vcnnstd, Hance, simillima, a quo inter alia floribus 

 minoribus insiguiter difl'crt. 



I am indebted to Mr. S. Le M. Moore for the determination and 

 description of this plant. 



33. Verbena, sp. n. ? Kiukiang. Should this supposition prove 

 correct, this plant is an interesting addition to the flora of China. 



34. Premna, sp. n. ? Kiukiang. There is little doubt that this is 

 a new species, but the specimen is insufficient to furnish a satisfactory 

 diagnosis.
