 SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 



Page 7, footnote 3. For date and place of publication see page 28, footnote 2. 



Page 12. In a literal sense the words "Ling Nan" mean "South of the Range," 

 a term used for Kwangtung and Kwangsi. According to Giles Chinese-English 

 Dictionary "Ling" means a mountain range, and "Nan" means south. And 

 according to the same author the range to which reference is made in the expression 

 is the "Mei or Plum" range of mountains in the northeast of Kwangtung. 



Page 13. It is worth observing that Ts'ai Hsiang and Wu Ying K'uei did not 

 agree in the use of the "wood" radical in writing the Chinese word representing 

 the sound "chee." Ts'ai Hsiang always used the radical and in the frequent 

 references to his "Li Chih P'u" in this work it has been incorrectly omitted. 



Page 16, footnote i. Various rubbings and copies of the Li Chih P'u by Ts'ai 

 Hsiang have been in circulation but are now difficult to obtain. It has not only 

 been reprinted in Ku Chin T'u Shu Chi Ch'eng (see page 18) but also in the Chih Wu 

 Ming Shih T'u K'ao (see page 21 and No. n, page 120). This monumental econo- 

 mic botany of China contains no fewer than 1714 excellent plates about 9^ by 5^ 

 inches, and each accompanied by a concise description of the plant figure. The 

 historical part of the work gives a full account of 838 plants. A third edition was 

 printed from the original blocks in 1919 by the Provincial Printing Office of 

 Shansi at Taiyiianf u. A smaller reprint of this work, published in Western style 

 and bound in two volumes with the English catch-title, "Readings in Chinese 

 Plants," was issued in 1919 by Commercial Press, Ltd., of Shanghai. In this edi- 

 tion the plates are 3^ by 2 inches. The Chinese stroke index to Chinese names 

 of plants greatly facilitates ready reference. Six treatises on the lychee are re- 

 printed in the Chih Wu Ming Shih T'u K'ao, including the original one by Ts'ai 

 Hsiang. These are Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 recorded in the bibliography, pages 119 

 and 120, and a monograph, Chi Li Chih by Wu Tsai Ao, not included in the 

 bibliography but cited on page 75, first paragraph and footnote one. 



Translations of these and other treatises by Mr. Hagerty and Mr. Ch'en may 

 be secured by arrangement with the Library of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 



Page 18, paragraph 2 and footnote 2a. According to Giles, the author's name 

 is spelled "Chi Han"; but Bretschneider spells it "Ki Han." 



Page 20, line 4. Insert the name of Mr. Ch'en Tsing-hua after that of Mr. 

 Michael J. Hagerty. 



Page 40. This synonomy of Euphoria longana, outlined by Karl Ludwig 

 Blume (see page 129, No. 114), is subject to correction and revision. It includes 

 some non-botanical names and is confusing. 



Page 68, paragraph 2. It should be noted that lychee grafted on the lungan 

 in Hawaii has proved to be short lived.
