Acanthopanax spinosum, Miq.-At Ying Tak and various places along the North River. Hongkong Herb. No. 10,634. The species was previously collected at Swatow.
Lonicera affinis, Hook. et Arn.-At Lien Kong Hou, North River. Hongkong Herb. No. 10,815. The second record for Kwang-tung, having been previously collected at Swatow.
20. Uncaria rhynchophylla, Miq.-Common along the Sam Kong River, N. W. Kwangtung, Professor R. Mell. Hongkong Herb. No. 61, Mell, once recorded from Fokien but not previously from Kwangtung.
21. Hedyotis assimilis, sp. n.--Herba erecta, 1-2 ped. alta, ramulis quadrangularibus, scabridis. Folia breviter petiolata, lanceolata, 2-3 poll. longa, chartacea, acuminata, basi cuneata, utrinque scabrida, venis conspicuis, utrinque 4. Stipellæ laciniatæ, laciniis linearibus, 4-6. Flores 3-4 lin. longi, paniculati, paniculis axillaribus terminalibusque folia brevioribus; bracteolæ parva, angustissimæ; pedicelli circiter 1 lin. longi, scabridi; calycis dentes ovati, acuti, scabridi, tubo glabro longiores; corolla alte 4 lobata, lobis lanceolatis, obtusis, extus glabris, intus infra apicem barbatis; filamentæ barbatæ; ovarium glabrum, stylo exserto infra medium barbato. Fructus non visus.
At Manszehop and Kow Wang Shek, North River. Hongkong Herb. Nos. 19,768, 10,857a and 10,883a. This has a superficial resemblance to H. Matthewii, Dunn, from which it differs in its laciniate stipules; scabrid leaves, shorter pedicels and hairy style.
