嘉慶二十四年（1819）《新安縣志》卷之三 輿地二「物產」門「花」類（人手核讀：跨掃描本第 71 頁兩個印刷塊，版心逐字實測「新安縣志 卷之三 物產」、頁次「五」「六」；「花」字以單字欄做門類標目，緊接「油柑子」一條）。一、梅花：「《羅浮志》載：廣郡梅花常與菊花相反，及所謂『先開嶺上梅也』」。二、素馨花、茉莉花：「皆番人自西國移植於南海，人憐其芬芳，競植之。按素馨原名那悉茗，南漢宮人素馨喜簪此花，故名；較茉莉更大，香最芬烈」——一條記兩種外來花嘅來源，再以「按」語考素馨得名。三、指甲花：「樹高五六尺，枝條柔弱，花開時其香與素馨、茉莉相等，亦番人自大秦國移植南海，今邑人多種之」。四、朱槿花：「莖葉皆如桑葉，光而厚；樹高四五尺，自二月開花，仲冬始歇；其花深紅色，五出，大如蜀葵，一叢之上日開數百朵」。五、拘那花：「即夾竹桃，花夏開，淡紅色，一朵數萼，至深秋猶有之」。六、史君子花：「蔓生，作架植之，夏時盛放，一簇開一二十花，輕盈似海棠」。七、蘭：「為香祖，以極蘭為上；莖多岐出，其葉長至三尺，蕾尖花大且繁，常有一莖及梃開至五十餘花者，色黃有紫點，香味甚厚，稱隔山香；次則公孫，孫徧每一大莖，輔以二小莖，若公之領孫，其花從上開下；又次曰出架白，一名素心；又次則青蘭，葉長一二尺，小而直，其花青碧，以白幹者為上，紫幹次之；又次為黃蘭，葉長而稍大，花淡黃，有小紅紋；又次為草蘭」——一條之內分極蘭、公孫、出架白（素心）、青蘭、黃蘭、草蘭，並記「隔山香」一類香稱，係 1819 年新安蘭藝嘅分級名目。呢批係由公共領域掃描本人手核讀出嚟嘅內容事實，同志錄並排對照：《香港志》志錄 1819 年只有一條（EV-18190000-24）總述呢部縣志喺「花」等門「記錄了多樣植物，並附有關於分佈、形態等層面的扼要介紹」，冇逐項花名、冇素馨原名那悉茗同南漢宮人得名嘅考訂、亦冇蘭分六等嘅名目，所以兩者唔可以互相當第二來源；本條冇用志錄補任何未核到嘅字。如實列出未核部分：① 「極蘭」二字，1,200 px 圖字形係「木＋亟」，同常見寫法「建蘭」唔同，此處按掃描本字形照引，並已記入 HANDOVER 待再核；② 「次則公孫」之後「孫徧每一大莖，輔以二小莖，若公之領孫」一句，標點係按文意斷讀，原刻無標點；③ 蘭條最末「又次為草蘭」之後，下接第 72 頁印刷塊，草蘭嘅說明文未讀，本條停在此處；④ 朱槿花「五出」之後嘅描述喺全頁圖上略糊，本條只引到「一叢之上日開數百朵」。

The flower entries in juan 3 (“Radiations of the Earth”, part 2), section “Products”, of the Jiaqing 24 (1819) Xin’an County Gazetteer (read by hand across the two printed blocks of page 71 of the scan; centre columns read directly as “Xin’an County Gazetteer, juan 3, Products”, folios five and six; the character “flower” stands alone as the section heading, immediately after the oil-mandarin entry). One: plum — “the Luofu Zhi records: the plum of Guang commandery is often the reverse of the chrysanthemum, and this is what is called ‘the plum that opens first on the ridge’”. Two: ye-seem and jasmine — “both were brought from western lands by foreign traders and planted in the South Sea; people loved their fragrance and vied to plant them. Note: ye-seem was originally called na-xi-ming; a palace woman of the Southern Han, Ye-seem by name, loved to wear this flower, hence the name; it is larger than jasmine and its scent the most powerful”. Three: henna — “a tree five or six feet tall, its branches soft and weak; when it flowers its scent matches ye-seem and jasmine; it too was brought from Daqin and planted in the South Sea, and today the county folk plant it in great numbers”. Four: hibiscus — “its stem and leaves are all like the mulberry’s, glossy and thick; the tree is four or five feet tall; it flowers from the second month and does not stop until midwinter; the flowers are deep red, five-petalled, as large as hollyhock, and on one bush a hundred blooms open in a day”. Five: oleander — “that is the rosebay; it flowers in summer, pale red, one flower with several calyxes, and it lasts into late autumn”. Six: rangoon creeper — “it trails and grows; a trellis is built and it is planted there; it blooms abundantly in summer, a single cluster opening ten or twenty flowers, light and graceful as crab-apple blossom”. Seven: orchid — “the ancestor of fragrance, and the utmost orchid ranks first: its stem branches out on many sides, its leaves grow to three feet, the buds are pointed and the flowers large and many, and often one stem and its shaft bear fifty or more flowers; the colour is yellow with purple spots, the scent very thick, and it is called ‘scent across the mountain’; next is the gong-sun, whose offsets run from each large stem, supported by two small stems like a lord leading his grandsons, and its flowers open from the top downwards; next is the ‘out-of-the-frame white’, also called ‘plain heart’; next the green orchid, its leaves one or two feet long, small and straight, its flowers green-blue, those with white stems ranking first and purple stems next; next the yellow orchid, its leaves longer and somewhat larger, its flowers pale yellow with small red veins; and next the grass orchid” — a single entry that ranks the county’s orchids as utmost orchid, gong-sun, out-of-the-frame white (plain heart), green orchid, yellow orchid and grass orchid, and records a scent name, “scent across the mountain”, that is, the orchid grades of Xin’an in 1819. These are content facts read by hand from a public-domain scan and set beside the archive: the 1819 entry of The Hong Kong Gazetteer (EV-18190000-24) says only that the gazetteer “records many plants in its sections on grains, vegetables, tea, fruit, flowers, grasses, trees, bamboo and vines, with brief notes on distribution and form”, and gives neither individual flower names nor the note that ye-seem’s old name was na-xi-ming and that it took its name from a Southern Han palace woman, nor the sixfold ranking of orchids, so the two cannot serve as each other’s second source; no unread character was filled in from the archive. Gaps stated as they stand: (1) the two characters “utmost orchid” appear in the 1,200 px image with the form “wood + ji”, unlike the common reading “Jian orchid”, and are quoted here as the scan prints them, the point being noted in the handover for a further check; (2) in “next is the gong-sun, whose offsets run from each large stem, supported by two small stems like a lord leading his grandsons” the punctuation follows the sense, the original being unpunctuated; (3) after “and next the grass orchid” the text continues into the printed block of page 72, whose description of the grass orchid has not been read, so the entry stops here; (4) in the hibiscus entry the wording after “five-petalled” is faint in the whole-page image, so the quotation ends at “a hundred blooms open in a day”.

Commons sha1 ad357f97…. The scan has no usable text layer, so its content is read by hand: a 1,200 px whole-page image (/private/tmp/jq/W71-71.png) was used to locate and skim the columns, then each passage was enlarged and checked — the plum entry including the characters “Guang commandery” at 1,700 px (H2-71.png), plum through jasmine at 1,900 px (G1-71.png), henna and hibiscus at 1,900 px (H1-71.png), the close of the rangoon creeper entry, “light and graceful as crab-apple blossom”, at 1,300 px (N1-71.png), the orchid line “the utmost orchid ranks first” at 1,200 px (N3-71.png), and the “flower” heading at 1,500 px (H6-71.png).
