Introduction. 



The following list comprises plants observed within a 

 few miles from Peitaiho during the summer months of 1919. 

 The mountains and foot-hills in the vicinity were not visited. 

 Collections have also been made from the same locality by 

 Mrs. Clemens and Professor I. B. Balfour but the results 

 have not been published. 



An herbarium embracing all the species cited, with 

 many others, is in the charge of Professor B. E. Bead of 

 the Department of Pharmacology, Peking Union Medical 

 College and can be examined by any one interested. It is 

 hoped that this collection will form a nucleus for one much 

 larger and more complete, to which Botanists are invited to 

 contribute with the object of removing, to a great extent, 

 one of the chief obstacles which render the study of Chinese 

 plants difficult. The knowledge of the name of any plant 

 is a great advance towards a close and more pleasurable 

 intimacy.
