262 ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF PLANTS FROM KIUKIANG. 
Of already described Urticacee which Dr. Weddell has omitted to 
record as natives o a, in his latest recension of the order, I 
possess the following : — Urtica “it Linn., Chihli, to

Castanea vulgaris, Lam., ¢ japonica, A.DC. 
Cephalotaxus Fortunei, Hook. 3 
Pardanthus chinensis, Ker. 
Lycoris aurea, Herb. 
Lycoris radiata, Herb.—That Miquel’s Werine pee’ is different 
from this may be inferred from the circumstance of his recording 
both from Japan ; but a plant received from M. Maximowicz under 
that mame seems quite the same. I have carefully studied living 
specimens of the Chinese species, raised from wild bulbs collected in 
Kwangsi by the Rev. J. R. Graves, M.D., and it accords in all 
with Acoma detailed character. (Enum. Plant., v., 546. ) 
idion speciosum, Thun b vena Sieb.—I am not aware 
that this beautiful plant, which Talakait cclioved to have been intro- 
duced into Japan from Korea, has heretofore been met with wild ry 
China. It is a great favourite in Europe; and M. Spae (Mem. bed 
espéces d. genre Lis, p. 38) expresses a hope that an accomp - ig
