The northern provinces of China, Mr. Royle observes, are more European 
in their flora than any parts of the plains of India ; and the flora of the moun- 
tains has an almost universal identity of genera with that found covering the 
elevated belt of Himalaya. From these and other remarks we conclude that 
many species of trees and shrubs in China, now wholly unknown to us, will at 
some future time be added to the British arboretum. 
The Chinese, through the European residents at Canton and other sea- 
orts, have become possessed of various of our ornamental ligneous plants. 
. Reeves (Gard. Mag., vol. xi. p. 437.) mentions that Magnolia grandiflora 
was introduced at Macao by Mr. Livingston, previously to 1830; and M. 
acuminata, glatica, and tripétala, soon afterwards. The recent discovery of 
the tea shrub in the province of Assam, through an extent of territory which 
occupied a month’s journey, shows how little of the ligneous flora of that part 
of the world is yet known. (See Dr. Wallich, in Gard. Mag., vol. xi. p. 429.) 
Secr. Il. Of the Indigenous and Foreign Trees and Shrubs of 
Africa. 
Tue number of ligneous species which the British arboretum has obtained 
from Africa, including the Canary Isles, appears to be 23; a number larger 
than might be expected, considering the tropical situation of this part of the 
world, and that its mountains are less elevated than those of Asia. Barbary 
has supplied 13 of these 23 species; because, being situated on the shores of 
the Mediterranean, its climate is comparatively temperate. More may, per-
