Referring to your orn...

cameraation of the

26th ult. I have now the honour to inform you,

dear Sir,

that since my retirement from the service of Hongkong I have been engaged in botanical work connected with the

large number of plants, indigenous to Hongkong

which have been discovered in that island

since the "Flora Hongkongensis" was written by

the late Mr. Bentham and published (by the

Government Press) in 1861. That excellent

work contains descriptions of about 1500 plants

which were known to science at that time as

indigenous to Hongkong. My friend
