As review of the Flora of the Colony, derived chiefly from the collections of the late Major Champion, 98th Regiment, undertaken by Mr. Bentham, V.P.L.S. in Sir W. Hooker's Journal of Botany, 1851 and succeeding years. Torula Hongkongensis. The concluding section of the Botany of the Voyage of H.M. Ship "Herald" (London 1852-7, 4o to 100 plates) edited by Dr. Seemann, under the authority of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, is entirely devoted to Hongkong, and includes (in addition to the materials at the disposal of Mr. Bentham) the collections of Dr. Seemann himself (not extensive, however).
Since the date of these publications, however, the knowledge of the vegetation of the Island has been much extended and many novelties added by the constant explorations of the late Dr. Harland, Mr. Wilford (a collector sent out from Kew) and Dr. Hance, Vice Consul at Whampoa.
A Flora of Hongkong to comprise the plants hitherto discovered is now in preparation by Mr. Bentham and it is to be issued through the Press early next year. It will form one of the series of Floras of the British Colonies published under the sanction of H.M. Government and the general superintendence of Sir W.J. Hooker.
