ber 14th, 1868, by Mr. D. Hanbury. They are now large bushes 
or small trees. From this tree the drug “true storax,” a solid 
resin of balsamic odour, is obtained.* After having long searched 
for this resin in many localities, Mr. D. Hanbury to his delight 
found it on one of the young trees at La Mortola, on December 
9th, 1874. 
SUTHERLANDIA. 
Seeds of S. frutescens were sent by Mr. D. Hanbury, in June; 
1872, probably received from Prof. MacOwan. 
TACSONIA. 
A genus only differing from Passiflora in the longer receptacle; 
contains a number of very fine flowering climbers. Many of them 
are but short-lived plants. Perhaps the showiest among them are 
T’. Van-Volxemi and T. insignis. The latter was purchased from 
Messrs. Veitch & Sons, in June, 1905. TZ. manicata is a very free 
flowerer; its blossoms have but a short receptacle and scarcely 
differ from Passzflora. 
Tatauma Hopesont. 
Was given to Sir Thomas Hanbury about ten years ago by 
Mrs. Brian Hodgson. It has not yet flowered. 
TAVARESIA. 
These fine Stapeliee@ have often been tried, but always suc- 
cumbed during the wet winter months. T. angolensis was first 
brought from Kew, in July, 1868, by Mr. D. Hanbury. 
TEMPLETONIA RETUSA. 
‘ae introduced from seeds sent by Mr. D. Hanbury, in June, 
TESTUDINARIA ELEPHANTIPES. 
Has been tried repeatedly. Some very large stems had been 
imported, but the plants seem to have suffered from our winter 
rains. We have now a seedling plant growing on a dry wall. 
TETRAPANAX PAPYRIFER. 
This is the plant fromthe pith of which the Chinese rice paper 
is prepared. It was believed for a long time to be a native of 
Formosa only, but has been found by Dr. Henry in the Province 
of Hupeh,t and according to Alexander Hosie-} it grows luxuri- 
antly in the Province of Kueichow; it is also found in Szu’ ch’uan, 
but in this district the stems are not so fully developed as those 
produced in the somewhat more southern province. This corre- 
sponds with the growth of our plants on the Riviera, which have
