Specimens of this singular plant were first sent to Kew in 1890 by Archdeacon Comins, and it was thought it might be the ori;zinal and only described species, L. taitensis, Dene., which is not represented by an authenticated specimen at either Kew or the British Museum. The species inhabiting the Society and Solomon Islands are certainly very closely allied, but there are differences which seem to justify separating
them rather than risk combining two under one name. The distribu-
tion of ‘the genus is remarkable, “for, so far as I am aware, it ‘sam not
been found between Tahiti and the Solomon Islands, which are
separated by 50° of longitude, equal to about 3,300 miles in the lati- tudes of these islands.—W. Borrinc HemsLEy

This highly ornamental tree at first suggests Leguminose and the tribe Cassiex rather than Sapindacex ; but the number of stamens, associated with the structure of the ovar y, seems sufficient to indicate i iop of the petals high up in the ca yx-tube and the absence of a disk are characters which distinguish it from its nearest allies. So the nt is unknown, and the ovary is only known in quite a young state.

GALAPAGOS ARCHIPELAGO : Indefatigable Island, Dr. Habel, 1868. Most of the species of peed described by Sir Joseph Hooker
(Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 2 13) were founded on single speci- mens, or single sheets of specimens, which belonged to the late Pro- fessor Henslow, and are now in the University Herbarium at Cambridge.
Through the kindness of Professor Nacghali Ward the specimens were lent to Kew for purposes of comparison with other material, and
advantage has been taken of the sai to figure four of them in succeeding plates.— W. Borrina HemsLey

Some years ago Dr. Ed.

Acad. xi. p- fe under the name of Diplostephium canum. Since then Prof. E L. Greene Franceschi, and others, have collected some closely allied plants i in the smaller islands of Santa Cruz and San Cl four or five degrees further north. Prof. Greene has dealt with them in ths lace cited above, where he founds the genus Hazardia and describes three
species, namely, //. cana, H. detonsa, an serrata. Since then several other quite distinct species have been added to the genus u ave some doubts about the specitic distinctness of the three
insular forms described as such by Prof. Greene. Sp fuller material,

large number of specimens. On the other hand, a plant collected by A. W. Anthony in San Clemente — distri ates — the name cana, seems to be quite distinct.—W. Bortinc Hems.ey.

Burma: Upper Shan States, at Supmut, 3,500 feet, H. H. Hilde- brand. e diagram of the flower of Paradombeya is practically the same as that of Pentapetes ; but the staminal tube is very short, the filaments are much longer, the ovary cells easily separable from each other, and the

number of ovules in each cell only two, not many. The general habit, the shape and texture of the leaves, and the character of the rather scanty tomentum point likewise to Pentapete es as a near ally. Para- dombeya approaches at the same time rather closely to Corchoropsis. This differs, however, in having normally [0 fertile stamens and numerous ovules in jae ell.

was entirely due the energy and sagacity of Sir John Kirk. As early as 1868 he sent specimens of the present species and rubber made from it to Ke This is collected in a way s perhaps unique in
ch i
any rubber-yielding plant. Some of the milk from a wound is gine to coagulate. The pellet so obtained is applied to a fresh cut, ‘and being turned with a rotary motion, the exuding milk i is drawn off like
2
silk from a cocoon.’ It is said that by working hard one person can collect 5 Ibs. of rubber per diem. According to Sir John Kirk, Landol- phia Kirkii ‘yields os best rubber of the enema coast.’ a os “ uce the natives to collect it. ‘Every on engaged in the inetd and the experiment in consequence sill : But it eventually ‘ created a new trade for all those classes pees mea
of subsistence came to an end’ with its suppression.—W., T. THIsELTon- Dyer.

These three are the ‘only undoubted species of pees which we have seen. In 1893 Bureau transferred Bignonia myriantha, Cham., to Saldanhea, and finally in the Flora Hranhionsis Bureau and Schu- mann added SS. pratensis and two doubtful species, S. heterocalyx and S. bracteata ; at the same time, however, Schumann pointed out the

r. Bentham described this plant from rather advanced specimens eatiectat by Drummond on the Swan River. He states that the capsules are usually indehiscent, but after being steeped in water for: some time they open at the top by a circular pore. There are also indications that they split into two or three valves at a later stage.
Plates 2776 to 2783 were drawn from specimens collected between Perth and Coolgardie, in 1903, by Mr. G. H. Thiselton-Dyer, son of the Director of Kew. Mr. Thiselton- Dyer, who is a mechanical engineer,
and was engaged on the official tests of the pumping machinery for the Coclgxedia Water Supply, makes no pretension to botanical knowledge, but in the very little leisure he had, he succeeded in drying a collection of about two hundred species of plants, Having no means of transport- ing large parcels, and acting on advice, he confined himself almost entirely to small and chiefly inconspicuous plants, which constitute a Host inter-
esting element in the flora of West Australia, This llection a number of curious plants, including two new genera baie a con- siderable ber of new and very rare species. Some of them had been collected previously by Dr iels and Dr. E. Pritzel, though the descri re tually published. To these gentlemen, who made very extensive collections during 0-1902, as well as to 8. Le Marchant Moore, who also collected in the same region, I a greatly indebted for assistance in determining a r of doubtful i I Iso to record here the valuable assistance
e€ ave received from Mr. L. Farmar in comparing this and other Australian collections.—W. Borrina HeEmstey.

No. 77, cited by Van tae as belonging respectively to the species
named. Briefly stated, the anthers of #. Francheti are sometimes even shorter than the filaments, and _ carpels are often biovulate and the mature ones dispermous. My observations on these and other points have been verified for me by Miss M. Smit ai and Dr, O. Stapf. I also find that the filaments of some of the stamens in Delavay’s No. 3749 are as long as the anthers, and I believe that their relative lengths are t some extent due to age. In all the numerous specimens examined the number of ovules or seeds, as the case might be, was variable ; in some usually one or two, in others usually two o three.
e accompanying plate was ecg prepared from Merced S speci- mens, numbered 1048, and many more drawings were made than are here published. Miss Smith opened one Oeaty in which ihe found ily one ovule ; all the others contained either two or three ovules. I have not found a single instance of a solitary ovule, but Dr. Stapf, who examined several ovaries while I was writing the foregoing, found, in seven ex- amined, one uniovulate, four biovulate, and two trievulate. Most of the ripe carpels i in Wilson’s specimens are three-seeded.
I may add that the leaves present no essential differences, and both Dr. Henry and Mr. Wilson, who are familiar with Zuwptelea in a living state, came independently to the — that all our Chinese speci-
mens belong to one species.—W. G Hemstey.

Sprengel credited his U. ancien eta ‘ foliis linearibus eho strictis persistentibus ;’ but from a specimen in Sonder’s herbari named U.

The genus Rhigozwm comprises at least seven species, native of Tropical and South Africa. Burchell founded the genus on R. tricho- tomum and &. obovatum (‘ Travels,’ vol. i. pp. 299, 389). Of the former he says merely : ‘That part of it [the track] next to the Karreebergen
h abounded in bushes, three and four feet f that singular shrub Rhigozum trichotomum, whose stiff branches, constantly dividing and subdividing, i ost regular manner, int rees, present a ver re and curious ramification, and have obtained for it the name of Driedoorn—Three-thorn.’ obovatum he gives the following
diagnosis : ‘ Frutex 6-pedalis. Ramuli alterni horizontales. Folia
2
obovata.’ The meagreness of these descriptions gave rise to confusion between the S species, and Fenzl (Denkschr. Bot. Gesellsch. Regensb. iii. p. 201, t. 5) figured and described as R. trichotomum the true i. obovatum, Bu rch., a much more widely spread plant ; and in this
mistake he was followed by Bureau (Monogr. Bignon. t. 19), Schumann (in Engl. & Prantl, Pflanzenfam. iv. 3, B., p. 233), and other botanists.
The accompanying figure represents Shaw’s Orange River specimen.

e genus is s divided into two very natural sections according to the form of the pseudostipules. In seven of the ten species, including M. platycalyx, they are foliaceous and orbicular ; in the remaining three they are conical or subulate, as shown in fig. 8. This character
separates M. /utea and M. tomentosa at the first glance s species were described by m, under Spathodea, in Hooker’s ‘ Niger * pp. 461-462, where the only character given to separate Spathodea tomentosa from utea is the ‘soft, rusty d > on tl er su f the leaves of the fo , contras t u lous or glabrous leaves of the latter. With the nS bs the additional material of t cies now in t r , they may be defined as follows :—WM. lutea has pagar orbicular pseudostipules, corymbose panicles, a le ae calyx, an row lepidote capsules. A
{. tomentosa has conical pseudostipules, sneicd oblong panicles, a tomentose calyx, and relatively broad, soft pubescent capsules. Vogel’s specimen from Patteh, on the Quorra, quoted by Bentham under his Spathodea lutea, is a. glabrescent-leaved form of M. tomen- tosa.
