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. H. 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 aU 
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.
