xv, 3 Merrill: Notes on the Kwangtung Flora 237 
coriaceous, about 10 mm long and 3 mm wide, glabrous. Ovary 
glabrous. Immature fruit globose. 
Kwangtung Province, Teng Woo Mountain, Levine 202k, May 
26, 1918, scattered on slopes, altitude about 300 meters. 
This species is well characterized by its oblong, thickly coria- 
ceous, rather numerously nerved leaves which are glaucous be- 
neath, and by its long, coriaceous, glabrous perianth segments. 
It is apparently as closely allied to Machilus phoenicis Dunn as 
to any other species, which, however, has smaller, differently 
shaped, fewer-nerved leaves and much shorter petioles.

Additional material with staminate flowers representing this 
species shows it to be a Lindera, allied to L. strychnifolia 
(Meisn.) F.-Vill. It is now represented by Merrill 11016, Le- 
vine 1351, Groff 2U63, To Kang P’eng 2707, the latter with stam- 
inate flowers bearing the local name heung kau shii.

Loureiro cites both Chinese and Cochinchinese names for this 
species, although he also states “Habitat in China.” It would 
seem that he observed the species in both regions. The species 
extends from India to Japan southward to Indo-China and north- 
ern Luzon and occurs at low altitudes both in Kwangtung Prov- 
ince, China, and in Indo China. The species is clearly no 
Di •osera, but among all the species of plants known from southern 
China, Loureiro’s description applies only to Androsace saxifra- 
gifolia Bunge. There is, hence, no reason why Loureiro’s specific 
name should not be adopted for this well-known species. Plan- 
chon 8 has already indicated that Loureiro’s species might be an 
Androsace.
