XIII, c, 3 Me7'rill: Flora of Loh Fau Mountain 161 



Levine 132U, August 24, 1917, from the same plant; in forested ravines, 

 altitude about 1,000 meters, a single plant seen. 



This species was originally described from sterile Japanese material, 

 and as a Nauclea, not as an Uncaria; the first publication of the binomial 

 Uncaria rhynchophylla seems to be that in Index Kewensis. The speci- 

 mens cited above agree closely with Japanese material, Wichura 1280, 

 with Dunn 279U from Fokien Province, China; with the original descrip- 

 tion; and with the more ample one given by Haviland. The species has 

 not previously been reported from China. 



COMPOSITAE 

 CARPESIUM Linnaeus 

 CARPESIUM CERNUUM Linn. Sp. PL (1753) 859. 



Kwangtung Province, White Cloud Mountain, near Canton, Levine 

 1782, October, 1917: Swatow, Dalziel, October 1899. 



The specimens are by no means typical of the Linnean species, and a 

 critical revision of the genus may show that they are referable to some 

 other species. Carpesium cernuum Linn, extends from Europe to Japan 

 and northeastern Australia; it occurs on the mountains of northern Luzon, 

 but 'has not been reported from the Malay Archipelago. The speciea it 

 new to Kwangtung Province.
