28. Gadbiac: amet Champion’ Benth. — Ad angustias 
Yeung-tui, fl. Lien-chau, 290 m. p. a metropoli, d. 12 Oct. 1881, 
leg. rev. B. C. Henry. I record ee locality for the purpose of 
eens that every specimen gathered had cordate-ovate undivided 
leaves. In the Hongkong plant the leaves are usually divided to 
about one-third of their length, but I have specimens in which 
some few of them are either simply emarginate or even quite entire. 
I had always hitherto supposed, and indeed observed, that the 
amount of leaf-division was an exceedingly stable character in this 
genus, and Mr. Baker has (FI. Brit. Ind. ii. 278) adopted it for the 
divisions of the section Cates In the present case, at any rate, 
it is not of specific value .

of this ever seen by Mr. Sampson and myself were small shrubs 
three to four feet high. Mr. Ford, pales finds it attain the 
height of seventy feet, with a trunk three feet in diameter at two 
feet above the ground. He adds that the bracts are white before 
ei expansion of the flower. The natives told him the seeds are 
eaten.
