Cand. Prodr. v. p . 632.
The specimen in the Collection is very imperfect, and bears rather narrower leaves than in others which
wo have received also from Mr. Millett ; the lateral leadets, although shorter than the othcra, are sometimes
scarcely obtuse.
1. Cissus? Cantoniensis ; foliis bipinnatis, foliolis glabris obovato-oblongis basi acutis
apice breviter acuminatis supra medium serratis, petalis staminibusque 5.
Very closely allied to C orientalis, Lam.: indeed, so much that we should not have separated them as
species, were it not for the quinary arrangement of the parts of the flower m the present individual The
stamina are opposite to the petals, and inserted with them at the base of tbe large cup-shaped torus, wbich
closely surrounds the germen : filaments straight, short, scarcely longer than tbe torus : anthers two-celled.
Style short and thick. Stigma simple.
Mr. Millett has sent a species of Vitis, from Macao, which we can compare with no species of Vine
of the Old Word, but which so closely resembles the V. serótina of N. America, according to specimens
we possess from Mr. Nuttall, that ive dare hardly venture to consider it distinct. Almost the only difference
is, that our plant has the leaves rather less deeply serrated, and somewhat glaucous beneath.

This appears to be abundant a t Macao, whence we have also specimens from Mr. MiUett.— Oxalis repens
of this Order, is also- sent by Mr. Vachell from Lappas Island.

The petals are certainly ciliated, aud not entire, or merely toothed, as in R . graveolens, which one
would rather have expected to find in China, than tbe present species. Loureiro, however, mentions that
it is only fouud in a state of cultivation.
