嘉慶二十四年（1819）《新安縣志》卷之三 輿地二「物產」門「花」類續編（人手核讀：全部喺掃描本第 72 頁上半塊，版心「新安縣志 卷之三 物產」、頁次「七」）。一、承接上頁「蘭」條嘅評語：「以短葉白幹者為上，有雙花單花之別」——上頁各蘭條之外，再以葉短、幹白者為最上。二、賀正蘭：「當立春及元旦始開」——應正月節令開花，故名。三、風蘭：「花從葉心抽出，雙朵懸於簷間，不着水，自然繁」——唔落泥、唔用水，掛喺簷下就自然茂盛。四、茂：「一名弔蘭」。五、樹蘭：「高丈許，花似魚子，香烈過之，不能度嶺」——香勝魚子蘭，但過唔到南嶺。六、珍珠蘭：「《廣州志》曰：遲蘭如珍珠，如金粟，一枝數串」，末句「自暹羅，一名鷄爪蘭」——即今日嘅鷄爪蘭；1819 年新安所見者由暹羅（泰國）傳入。七、菊：「當秋盛開，惟嶺南則於冬始放」，引蘇軾詩「嶺南有菊即重陽」，再解釋「菊性凌霜愈盛，而嶺南嘗以至冬始有微霜也」，花色「有紅白黃臙脂數種」——嶺南菊遲到冬先開，係 1819 年縣志特登拈出嘅氣候差異。八、弔鐘花：「樹高數尺，枝屈曲偃蹇，正月初先作花，後開葉，一枝綴數十小鐘，色晶瑩如玉，雜以紅點，邑杯渡山極多」——杯渡山即今日屯門青山，係縣志唯一記低呢種花產地嘅地方。九、馬纓花：「赤如馬纓，其花下垂一條數千朵，樹高丈許，有白有桃紅，而大紅鑲邊尤異種也」。十、九里香：「木本，葉細如黃楊，成叢，花白有香甚烈」；又「七里香：葉小梢大，其樹皆不甚高，可作盆盎之玩」。十一、鳳仙花：「一名金鳳花，有紅白紫碧數色，婦女每以花之紅者搗汁染指甲，其子入藥名急性子」——即今日嘅指甲花，「急性子」至今仍然係佢嘅藥名。呢條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，扼要介紹」，冇逐個花名、冇「自暹羅」嘅來源、亦冇杯渡山產地，所以志錄唔可以當第二來源用；本條冇借志錄補任何未核到嘅字。如實列出未核／待定部分：① 條名「茂」一名弔蘭，用 560 px 單欄圖覆核，字形係「艹」頭加「戊」身，唔係「苑」或「蕨」一類；但呢個名罕見於花譜，本條只照錄原文、唔作推解。② 珍珠蘭條「一枝數串」之後嘅斷句（「自暹羅」云云）係本站編輯所加，原刻無標點。③「臙脂」二字以 1,100 px 圖讀定，未再放大覆核。④ 全部條目只有名、形態、香氣、用途，冇年份亦冇人物，所以本條唔作任何年代推算。

The continuation of the flower section in juan 3 (“Radiations of the Earth”, part 2), section “Products”, of the Jiaqing 24 (1819) Xin’an County Gazetteer, read by hand from the upper printed block of page 72 of the scan (centre column read directly as “Xin’an County Gazetteer, juan 3, Products”, folio seven). One: the closing judgement on the orchid — “those with short leaves and white stems are the best, and there is a distinction between double-flowered and single-flowered kinds” — which closes the orchid entries of the preceding page. Two: the New Year orchid, “it opens at the start of spring and on New Year’s Day”, so named because it flowers with the first month. Three: the wind orchid, “the flower is drawn out from the heart of the leaves, in pairs, and hangs under the eaves; it takes no water and yet grows of itself” — an air plant. Four: 茂, “also called the hanging orchid”. Five: the tree orchid, “a zhang or so tall, its flowers like fish roe and stronger in scent than those, but it cannot cross the ranges”. Six: the pearl orchid — “the Guangzhou Gazetteer says: the late orchid is like pearls, like golden millet, several strings on one branch” — and its last clause, “from Siam, also called the chicken-claw orchid”, that is the plant still known by that name today, which reached Xin’an from Siam by 1819. Seven: the chrysanthemum, “it blooms abundantly in autumn, but in Lingnan it only opens in winter”, quoted with Su Shi’s line that “where there is chrysanthemum in Lingnan, it is the Double Ninth”, and explained: “the chrysanthemum grows the stronger for frost, and in Lingnan there is seldom any real frost until the end of winter”, its colours “red, white, yellow and rouge, of several sorts”. Eight: the bell-flower, “a tree several feet tall, its branches crooked and sprawling; in the first month it makes flowers before leaves, dozens of little bells strung on one branch, crystal-like as jade and flecked with red — very plentiful on Beidu Mountain in this county”; Beidu Mountain is Castle Peak above Tuen Mun, and this is the only place the gazetteer gives for the plant. Nine: the horse-tassel flower, “red as a horse’s tassel, its flowers hanging in a single string of a thousand blooms, the tree a zhang or so tall, some white, some peach-red, and the scarlet with a bordered edge is the rarest sort”. Ten: nine-li scent, “a woody plant, its leaves fine as box, growing in clumps, the flowers white and very strong in fragrance”; and seven-li scent, “small leaves and larger tips, the trees are none of them tall, and can be kept in pots”. Eleven: the garden balsam, “also called the golden phoenix flower, in several colours, red, white, purple and green-blue; women take the red ones, pound the juice and dye their nails, and the seed is used in medicine under the name ji-xing-zi (jumping-seed)” — the plant still called nail-flower, with the same drug name today. This entry records content read by hand from the public-domain scan, set side by side with the gazetteer register: the Hong Kong Chronicles register has a single 1819 entry (EV-18190000-24), which describes the gazetteer only in general terms as “recording a variety of plants” with brief notices; it gives no individual flower names, no Siam provenance and no Beidu Mountain locality, so it cannot be used as a second source, and this entry borrows no unverified character from it. Gaps stated honestly: (1) the head character of the hanging-orchid entry, 茂, was checked on a 560 px single-column detail and is a grass radical over 戊, not 苑 or 蕨; the name is rare in flower catalogues, so the gazetteer text is transcribed only, without interpretation. (2) The sentence break after “several strings on one branch” in the pearl-orchid entry is the editor’s; the woodblock has no punctuation. (3) The two characters 臙脂 were read on a 1,100 px detail and not re-checked at higher magnification. (4) Every item gives only a name, form, scent or use, with no date or person, so no chronology is inferred.

Everything stands in the upper printed block of page 72 of the scan, whose centre column was read directly as “Xin’an County Gazetteer, juan 3, Products”, folio seven; the opening clause occupies the column nearest the centre on the right, the closing one the outermost column of the left half. Commons sha1 ad357f97…. The scan has no usable text layer, so the content was read by hand: a 1,200 px full-page image (W72-72.png) for orientation, then three 1,100 px details column by column — right half (U1-72.png: end of the orchid, New Year orchid, wind orchid, 茂, tree orchid, pearl orchid), middle (U2-72.png: chrysanthemum, bell-flower), left half (U3-72.png: horse-tassel flower, nine-li scent, seven-li scent, garden balsam); the one doubtful head character was enlarged to 560 px in a single column (MZ2-72.png) and confirmed as 茂, a grass radical over 戊.
