specimens the leaves are ternate, or the uppermost ones simple, not “pinna- 
tisecta 5-nata” as described by Forbes in Journ. Bot. 22 (1884) 263 {Cle- 
matis terniflora Benth.). Clematis chinensis Osbeck is not the same as 
C. meyeniana Walp. as I formerly suspected. 
POLYGONACEAE 
POLYGONUM Linnaeus 
POLYGONUM LONGIFLORUM Courchet in Lecomte FI. Gen. Indo-Chine 5 
(1910) 31, fig. U. 
Honam Island, Levine 2^8, January 20, 1917. 
The specimen differs from Courchet’s species in its somewhat broader 
leaves, but agrees in all essentials with the description, the figure, and a 
cotype of the species in the Herbarium of the Bureau of Science. A species 
otherwise known only from Tonkin. 
ROSACEAE 
STRANVAESIA Bindley 
STRANVAESIA BENTHAMIANA (Hance) comb. nov. 
Photinia benthamiana Hance in Ann. Sci. Nat. Bot. V 5 (1866) 213. 
Stranvaesia calleryana Decne. in Nuov. Arch. Mus. Paris 10 (1874)

Canton and vicinity, Merrill 1008S, November 4, 1916, in fruit; Levine

The type of Decaisne’s species was from Canton, and the specimens cited 
above agree perfectly with his description, and morover conform with the 
description of Photinia benthamiana Hance, the type of which was also from 
Kwangtung Province. The fruits are those of Stranvaesia, and I have 
accordingly transferred Hance’s specific name to this genus and reduced 
Decaisne’s species as a synonym. In general appearance the species closely 
approximates Photinia, but in addition to its fruit characters is also dis- 
tinguished from the Chinese species of Photinia by the branches and branch- 
lets of its inflorescences being verticillately, not racemosely arranged.
