In a brackisb swamp near the sea, on the peninsula of Kau- 

 lung, opposite Hongtong : discovered by Mr. Sampson in October 

 1868. Not known fi-om elsewhere. 



13. Smithia conferta, Sm. ; Benth. Fl. Angtr. ii. 223. 



"With the foregoing species. Occurs throughout the whole of 

 continental India, in Ceylon, Jav^ the Moluccas, and Eastern 

 tropical Australia.

. 271 ; fVijjiht, Illustr.i. t. 80. 



Not very uncommon in the Happy Valley and Hongkong 

 >Foods, flowering in July. It also occurs on the adjacent conti- 

 nent, throughout the whole of tropical India, in Ceylon, and all 

 the Malayan islands, and has become naturalized in the West 

 .Indies, where it was introduced. 



*Albizzia MiUetti, Benth. 



In the ' G-enera Plantarum ' (i. 596) " stipulse setacesB v. ob- 

 Boletse, v. rarius majores membranacese " are assigned to this 

 genus ; and in the ' Flora Hongkongensis ' they are described as 

 smaU and deciduous in the present species. My specimens, 

 however, both from Hongkong and the neighbourhood of Canton, 

 have stout stipular, prickles. 



16. Pygeum phseostictum, Hance in Seem. Joum. Bot. viii. 72. 



Q-athered in Hongkong by Mr. J. C. Bowring, but without any 

 special record of locality. Occurs also in the neighbourhood of 

 Canton, but is not at present known from elsewhere. 



*Rosa microcarpa, Lindl. ; DC. Prod. ii. 601 ? 



Though my specimen is only in fruit, I believe the Eose re- 

 ferred in the 'Flora Hongkongensis' to S. muUiflora, Thunb.', 

 is this species. I have seen no rose at all like B. mulUflora from 

 this neighbourhood.
