Supplement.
ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF HONGKONG AND THE NEW TERRITORIES.
1. Melochia corchorifolia, L.-Found at Fanling, and later at Sokunpo by Mrs. D. C. Aubrey. A weed in cultivated ground.
2. Sesbania aculeata, Pers.-Collected at Castle Peak by Miss Phoebe May. Distributed nearly all over the tropics in the Old World but only previously recorded in Kwangtung from Hoifung.
3. Astragalus sinicus, L.-Detected at East Point by Miss P. May. Known from various localities in China but not previously found in Hongkong.
4. Galactia tenuiflora, Wight et Arn.-At Cape D'Aguilar. Diffused in tropical Asia, also found in Africa and Australia.
5. Phaseolus Mungo, L.-Collected by Mrs. D. C. Aubrey at Sokunpo. Spread throughout the tropics of the Old World.
6. Fragaria indica, Andr.-On the top of Mt. Gough. Known throughout the East Indies.
7. Oenanthe stolonifera, DC.-In the Hongkong University grounds. Found near Canton, in India, Java and Japan.
8. Blumea Wightiana, DC.-At Fanling. Once recorded from Hongkong but known throughout the plains of India.
9. Wrightia flavido-rosea, Trimen. This is a most interesting addition to the Flora as the species has hitherto been considered as peculiar to Ceylon. In the year 1899 two young plants of it were brought in from the New Territories by a native collector who also collected ripe fruits at the same time. The young trees were planted in the New Garden and one of them flowered in June last. The flowers compare exactly with those in the figure of the species in Trimen's Flora of Ceylon.
10. Gardneria multiflora, Makino.-Found by Mr. S. B. C. Ross alongside the Wongneichong-Tytam Road and later on by Professor Hayata in the same locality. Only previously known from Japan and Szechuen.
11. Bothriospermum tenellum, Fisch.-At Fanling. Throughout Northern India, in China and Japan.
12. Ipomoea purpurea, Lam?-On roadsides at Taipo, Mrs. D. C. Aubrey.
13. Ipomoea linifolia, Bl.-Found by Mrs. D. C. Aubrey at Taipo. Previously found in Kwangtung at Hoifung and Canton.
14. Bonnaya reptans, Spreng.-Collected near Lower Albert Road by Mrs. D. C. Aubrey and Miss May. Widely spread in India and Malaya.
15. Curcuma pallida, Lour.-At Taipo by Mrs. D. C. Aubrey. Only known from Kwangtung.
