A THIRD DECADE OF NEW CHINESE PLANTS. 331 
rupes porphyriticas ad ingentes cavernas naturales Sai-chii-shan, prov. 
Cantoniensis, invenit Th. Sampson, Aprili, 1866. (Exsicc. n. 13035.) 
Allied to 7. Bojeri, A. De Cand., and T. Heyneana, Wall. It 
differs from the latter by the tube of its longer corolla not being penta- 
gonal, by the shape of the laciniæ, by its sessile bilobed stigma, etc. 
The whole plant turns of an ash-grey hue in drying. 
3*6. Calamintha (Clinopodium) confinis, n. sp. ; herbacea, diffusa, basi 
radieans, glabra vel parce pubescens, foliis teneris rhombeis obtusis basi 
in getiolum limbo zequilongum cuneatis supra medium crenato-serratis, 
verticillastris densiusculis subglobosis multifloris, bracteis minutis, 
calyce bilineali pedicello bis longiore tubo basi eequali glaberrimo fauce 
intus pilosula dentibus brevibus rectiusculis pectinato-ciliatis, corolla 
rosea leviter tantum exserta.— Ad Sai-chii-shan, prov. Cantoniensis, 
leg. T. Sampson, m. Aprili, 1866. (Exsicc. n. 13045.) 
Holds a middle place between C. gracilis, Benth., and C. uinbrosa, 
Benth. I have endeavoured; in the Paris * Annales des Sciences Natu- 
relles? (5me. sér. v. p. 235), to point out the salient characteristies of 
several of the different Clinopodia, which some recent authors have, in 
my judgment, shown an undue tendency to combine. 
yor 1. Solanum Hainanense, n. sp.; fruticosum, diffusum, ramis elevato- 
pluristriatis junioribus stellato-pilosulis maturis glabratis subscabrido- 
punctulatis, aculeis rectiusculis, foliis deltoideis integris repandis vel

Allied, unless I am mistaken, to 5. hastifolium, Hochst. ! from Kor- 
dofan. : um

cortice crasso albo-cinerascente suberoso fungoso-fisso obtectis, foliis
