A List of Plants from Ning-po, 

 Cheh-Kiang. 



By 

 S. Matsuda. 



Sometime ago Mr. Chang Chih Ming (jJJ|;£§g) sent to us a 

 collection of plants from Ning-po (^ $£), which is his native 

 place. Being a business man, he does not collect them person- 

 ally, but it seems he got his plants from a native collector. 

 The present list is the result of the examination of these plants, 

 and I express my thanks to him who kindly handed them over 

 to me for study. Really these plants are of his second sending; 

 as to the first one a notice was made in Vol. XXIII. pp. (151)- 

 (154) of this magazine. 



I. Ranunculaceae. 



1. ? Clematis Benthamiana Hemsl. in Journ. Linn. Soc. 

 XXIII. 2. 



(BM±B after Chang Chih Ming). 



2. C. uncinata Champ.; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 6 ; Max. Mel. 

 Biol. IX. 597; = C. recta L. subsp. chinensis Retz. var. uncinata 

 Champ.; Kunze, Monogr. 115. 



This species seems to be variable. In some specimens leaflets 

 are ovate, and acute or acuminate, but in others they are ovate 

 or oblong, and obtuse. In the latter form sepals are often 

 obtuse, though Bentham (1. c.) describes them as "very acute." 

 Flowers are paniculate in my specimens as the same botanist 

 states, but in the specimens from Hupeh (Henry, no. 4107) they 

 are subsolitary.
