CHINA. 



[Chiefly collected about Macao.] 



Through the kindness of our valued friend, Charles Millett, Esq., we are in possession of many Chinese 

 plants, gathered by himself at Macao and the adjacent Islands. The Collection also includes many from the 

 Herbarium of the Rev. G. II. Vachell, Chaplain to the Factory at Canton, in whose bounty we have again 

 likewise shared, through the medium of the Rev. Professor Henslow of Cambridge. These have all 

 assisted us in materially determining many species in Captain Beechey's Collection; and they have 

 furnished us with several species which our Naturalists had not the good fortune to meet with during their 

 limited stay at Macao.

 1 . Clematis viticella. Linn. — var. flore pleno.
