_ In the ‘ Botanical Magazine’ the segments of the outer corona are Tepresented as entire, and are coloured green : the d an error; and, although the toothing at the apex is sometimes very
pi,
fl h nguish this variety from typical S. variegata is that the lobes of the “outer corona are a little narrowed at the apex and less deeply bifid, whereas in the type they are as broad at the apex as at the base, or slightly broader from the spreading of the lobes.
e The coronal characters, I fear, are not very constant; so far as ine notching at the apex of the outer coronal segments is concerned,
Sometimes there is mere emargination, sometimes the apex is dis- netly bifid, and sometimes more or less trifid, from the presence of tooth at the base of the notch, in what I take to be slight trom
lifferent seasons, but I have made a drawing of one case in which flowers from the same cyme were very differently coloured. ‘
4
There seems, however, to be a distinctive character in the form of the ‘ buds, not in a young state, but when nearly full grown, which should always be e noted,
On the above grounds I am inclined to refer several forms, hitherto considered as species, which only differ from each other in colour and

® ber of the Anacardiacew. It is mainly on the ground of the copious ‘bumen of the seed, the presence of conspicuous stipules (as indi-
cated by their scars, for they must be early deciduons, and are waiting
in our specimens, excepting in the winter buds), and the remarkable -
resemblance of the leaves to those of Huscaphis and some other Stapbylew, that I prefer to place it provisionally with the latter group, notwithstanding its alternate leaves and unilocular uniovulate ovary. —D. Oniver.

Tt is an important drug-plant of Central China, known as the huw chi in Szechwan and Hupeh. he species of Astragalus named As Hoantchy by Mons. Franchet is very distinct from this plant, having a much introflexed suture in the legume, leaflets in 8-12 airs, &e. We are indebted to the kind offices of this distinguished botanist for x Specimens of this plant, as also of Bunge’s A. mongho icus, the latter _ another species of the section Cenantrum, to which, as Mons. Franchet pointed out to me, our plant belongs. It is allied to A. Henryi, bat the leaflets are very small and numerons, the legumes larger, with ; seeds varying to six or more.—D. OLIvER. -
Dr. Henry has kindly favoured us with the subjoined memo- ; randum :—
‘ Huang-ch%i is the generic name of an important Chinese drug, of — which there are several kinds, doubtless afforded by different plants. VOL. X.. PART Ti, T eo

The root is the part used. From a publication cf the Chinese Customs we learn that the export annually from the varicus treaty ports is as follows (the local names are given) :—
*Tiao-cht. 760 piculs from Newchwang, produced in Shantung and Manchuria.
“Huang-ch‘i, 3,500 piculs from Tientsin, produced in Chili (and Mongolia).
‘Huang ch‘i, pai-ch‘i, and hung-ch'i, 2,600 piculs from Ichang and Hankow, produced in Szechwan, Hupeh, and Shensi.
‘ Other local names used are chin-ch‘d, ch‘uan-cht, hst-ch't, hsi-féu-ch“, and pei-ch‘i. __ ‘M. Franchet (Pl. David. i. p. 86) has described as a source of the drug, Astragalus Hoantchy, collected by Pere David in Mongolia. This is perhaps the source of the Pei-chi and T'iao-ch‘i, exported from Newchwang and Tientsin. He also. (Pl. David. ii. p. 31) describes Astragalus mowpinensis, “a plant used in Chinese medicine.” This Thibetan plant may be one of the sources of the Szechwan drug.
‘During my trip of 1888 I fonnd in the mountains of Hupeh the plant, 6902, which is the source of the drug in Hupeh and Eastern zechwan, and perhaps in Shensi.
‘Chinese books ackno wledge the existence of three or four kinds of the drug. One kind is figured in Chih wu ming, vii. 3.
“Le, Customs Trade Reports, 1869, p. 59, has the following :— “The dried root of an herbaceous plant cultivated in Shansi, which
‘In Japan, huang-ch‘i is furnished by Astragalus reflexistipulus, Miq. Other kinds of the drug in Japan are from A. adsurgens and Hedysarwm esculentum, Ledeb.
‘ Bretschneider, Early Researches, p. 148, says that huang-ch‘i at Peking is Sophora flavescens, Ait. There must be some error ere, aS the root of this plant is a very different drug, “ i‘w-shén,” which is
m veterinary practice.’ —A. Hunry.

The sulcation of the thick bony endocarp, in which usually all but three or four of the cells are aborted, recalls the similar condition in some species of Nyssa. the conspicuous areolation of the receptacle of the inflorescence after the fall of the stamens and the circular disposition of the Staminal cicatrices upon each areole, I cannot but think the inflores- cence is a capitulum of closely crowded achlamydeous male flowers with one obliquely lateral female one.

Davidia is a tree almost deserving a special mission to Western China with a view to its introduction to European gardens. ‘ Henry describes it as 30 feet. in height; ‘the large white bracts, mingled with the green leaves of the tree, give it an extraordinary and beautiful appearance.’—D. OnivER.

The pistillate flower, originating between the staminate ones, is at the time of expansion of the latter in a quite rudimentary stage, nor would it be reasonable, from our specimens alone, to infer that both g and 2 flowers originate from the same rachis, as Sig. Beccari points out is the case in the other species of Arenga and Oaryota, the flower-bearing branches of the spadix being much stouter and longer in those which bear the expanded—or, in our specimen, the more advanced—pistillate flowers (without perceptible trace of the lateral fallen males), than the branches bearing expanded males. At the Same time it is true, as noted above, that a rudimentary pistillate flower is present between the males in our specimens.—D. Ouiver.

filaments and a glabrous rachis, which latter character is well seen in the type. A confusion of specimens in the Herbarium of Leyden is not pro- bable, as the type sent agrees as far as it goes entirely with the descrip- tion in Korthals’ paper. The only probable suggestion seems to be that Korthals was mistaken in attributing to his plant characters which would bring it clearly to Connaracew. He may have mistaken a second abortive ovule for an aril. I, therefore, am of opinion that the
