ACCOUNTS Of SOME PLANTS FROM CHUSAN, COLLECTED 
BY J. CUNNINGHAM. 
Published by J. Petiver. Philos.. Trans. XXIII (1703.) p. 1421. 
The first 20 numbers refer to Corals from the Philippine 
Islands. 
21. Lingua eervina chusanensis maculata media. 
The root of this is like our common Polypody with fibres 
running from them. The leaves resemble Harts-tongue, but 
are longer and narrower, but as that bears its seed in slant 
streaks on the back of the leaves, these have them in round 
spots like those in Polypody, one on each side of the middle rib 
at near half an inch distance, beginning near the point, and 
reach above half the leaf. 
22. Lingua eervina chusanensis maculata, parva. 
This has a fibrous root, its leaves have scarcely any footstalk 
and rarely exceed 3 inches in length, the seeds stand in round 
spots like the last, as large but much closer set, reaching from 
the middle rib to the edge of the leaf, coming down about 
half way. 
23. Arundo chusanensis polydactyloides, perelegans. 
This reed has a very beautiful tuft, composed of about a 
dozen pappose spikes, like some of our Indian downy Cocks¬ 
foot grass, each above a span long. 
24. Gramen Lagopoides chusanense , spicis aristatis palles- 
eentibus.
