INTO THE FLORA OF CHINA; _ 
This is next in kind to our Gr. Lagop. guineense, Gazoph. 
nat. tab. 2, fig. 7, et. Mus. 238, but its spikes are larger and 
both glumae and aristae are whitish, whereas the Guinea sort 
when full ripe is ferrugineous and its spike turns downwards. 
Dr. H. Sloane has the only specimen I have as yet seen of this 
new grass. 
25. Fanicum, cristatum chusanense i spica multiplici nude. 
This is a very elegant grass, each capsule somewhat resembles 
those of our Nasturtium verrucosum or Swines Cress. 
26. Secalis facie frumentum chusanicum. 
27. Cadelari siciliana folio acuto, Amaranthus siculus 
spicatus. 
This is Achyranthes argentea Lam., a variety of A. asp era 
L. observed in China by Staunton and others. 
28. Fersicaria chinensis, folio subtus albido, Musei nostri 950. 
This resembles our Arse-smart, but the leaves underneath 
are very white and soft. 
29. Triopteris scandens chusanensis, cordato folio. 
This is a twining plant, like our black Bryony, and its leaves 
not unlike, the capsules resemble the Melianthus, but have 
only three wings containing membranaceous seed, like those 
of the Oleander. 
30. Aster Eupatoroides clmsanensis, Hyssopi folio. 
The leaves stand alternately on the stalk, which towards the 
top branches out into many small flowers with little radiated 
petala. These look at first view like our Eupatorium. 
31. Tussilacjb chusanensis , raraosa, folio rotundo, glabro. 
This has smooth round leaves about the root at the time of the 
flowering, and narrow leaves at the stalk, which is branched, 
each terminating in one flower of the same bigness with ours. 
32. Abrotanum chusanense, Thalictri folio. 
The leaves are deeply jagged at top, generally into 3 or 5 
segments. The flowers are extremely small. 
33. Abrotanum chusan. segmentis foliorum tenuissime serratis. 
The flowers of this are as large as the common Southern¬ 
wood, the leaves finely divided and notched like those of some 
umbelliferous plants. 
34. Absinthium umbelliferum chusan. Achoavan folio. 
The stalk is round, hoary and slightly furrowed, the leaves 
somewhat like the next, but less, and more serrated. 
35. Matricaria chusan. flore albo minore simplici. A Ma¬ 
tricaria japonica fl. min. albo simpl. Breyn. prodr. 2. p. 663 P 
The leaves of this are like Mugwort but less, the flowers 
scarcely so big as our Featherfew.
