Hemsley. — New Plants 
a lighthouse keeper at South Cape. Although Ape’s Hill, 
near Takow, had been previously botanised, Dr. Henry 
■succeeded in finding a number of interesting novelties. On 
a map in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society, 
vol. vii, 1885, the height of Ape’s Hill is given as 1110 feet, 
and the mountains in the vicinity of Bankinsing as 8050 feet ; 
but Dr. Henry’s collector did not reach a greater altitude than 
2000 feet, being in constant fear of the native savages. The 
Orchids are described by my colleague, R. A. Rolfe, A. L. S. 
Hypericum (Aseyron) trinervium, Hemsl. 
Frutex undique glaberrimus, ramulis teretibus. Folia conferta, 
subsessilia, chartacea, ovato-oblonga, i-ij poll, longa, apice obtusa 
vel rotundata et simul apiculata, basi subcuneata, a basi trinervia, subtus 
pallidiora, crebre minuteque pellucido-punctata. Flores vix 1 poll, 
diametro, pedunculis axillaribus 3-6 lineas longis solitariis vel 
superioribus 2-3-floris nudis ; sepala leviter inaequalia, ovata vel 
oblonga, obtusa i-if lin. longa; petala valde obliqua, apice rotundata; 
stamina pentadelpha, quam petala breviora ; ovarium 5-loculare, stylis 
per totam longitudinem connatis, stigmate parvo clavato. Capsula 
subcylindrica, leviter curvata, circiter semipollicaris, stylo 3-4 lineas 
longo coronata, demum arete recurva; semina numerosissima, cylin- 
drico-clavata, unilateraliter obscure alata. 
Formosa: South Cape, Schmiiser (Hb. Henry, 906 and 906 A). 
This and the following species belong to a small group inhabiting 
Eastern Asia, characterized by the styles being consolidated throughout 
their whole length. H trinervium resembles H. formosanum , Maxim, 
in foliage, but it is readily distinguished by the lateral nerves of the 
leaves and the much less conspicuous glands. The flowers of the 
latter, too, are borne on short lateral branchlets or peduncles bearing 
one or two pairs of leaf-like bracts. The closely reflexed ripe capsules 
is a striking character this has in common with H. geminiflorum . 
Hemsl. 
Hypericum (Aseyron) geminiflorum, Hemsl. 
Frutex tripedalis (fide A. Henry ) undique glaberrimus, ramulis 
gracilibus rubescentibus. Folia subsessilia, tenuiter chartacea, ovato- 
oblonga, usque ad if poll, longa, apiculata, pallida, subtus glauca, 
obscurissime pellucido-punctata. Flores in axillis foliorum superiorum
