272 Dr. Cantor on the Flora and Fauna of Chusan. 



not used, have several names for the plant, have established it 

 beyond doubt to be indigenous. A group highly characteristic 

 of the flora of Chusan attracted my attention in a tea-plan- 

 tation ; it consisted of a tea-shrub entwined by a hop-plant and 

 surrounded by a strawbeny, a bramble, Artemisia vulgaris, 

 Hijpericum perforatum, Viola canina, a pine, an oak, a plan- 

 tain, and a fan-palm. 



The following list of plants, collected at random, some of 

 which I identified, with their genera, on the spot, while for 

 the rest I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. Griffith, will 

 serve to give some features of the flora.
