figured by me in the ‘ Gardeners’ Chronicle’ and that of specimens
which have been dried or preserved in spirits, as in these latter a con-
siderable amount of shrinking takes place, and the sides of the lobes

_ 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

This is a remarkable species, very distinct from any other known to
me. It flowers profusely all along the stems; and the long erect
pedicels and small Turk’s-cap-like flowers at once distingnish it.
corolla is purple, clothed with adpressed white hairs, so that it has a
greyish-purple look ; the lobes are curved back so closely that their
margins meet one another, and the back of the corolla and calyx is
entirely concealed.—N. E. Brown.

® 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.

for living specimens and the inspection of a characteristic drawing to
Mrs. K. Saunders of Natal, who has already sent so many interest-

The plant had previously, however, been found by Mr. J. Medley
Wood, the energetic curator of the Natal Botanic Gardens, as
that gentleman has since informed me; and though his specimens
2
were not in flower he was at once struck by its peculiar appearance,
and only awaited another opportunity to complete them. (The late
Mr. Gerrard was apparently the first to discover the plant, and his
specimens from Natal, distributed under No. 1417, in fruit only, have

as it has been from time immemorial by them, instead of nails or

Has. China, Proy. Hupeh, Fang District, Dr. A. Henry (No.

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
2
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.

It is very nearly allied to D. assamica, Benth. ; but in this species
the lobes of the upper lip of the calyx are broadly cuspidate or acute ;
in D. hupeana they are quite rotundate——D. Oxtver.

y Mr. Gamble last year, in Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, ae
under the name of Microcalamus Prainii. The name Microcalamus
was preoccupied, having been published by Mons. Franchet the
previous year (1889) in Journ. de Botanique, ni Pea a Bambusacea
from the Congo. Ithink Bambusa senanensis, h. et Savat. Hnwm.
Pl. Jap. ii. 182, 606, may be a form of A. hacilansis (var. speciosa).
On the technical ground of the usual number of stamens this species
has been referred to Bambusa; but in habit it is so diverse from that
genus, and so entirely an Arundinaria, that I do not hesitate to follow
Ruprecht, Schmidt, and Mr. Brown in referring it to the latter genus.
I further agree with Schmidt in regarding it as a variety of A. kurilensis,
which he looks upon as a very variable species. e number of
stamens is not ‘odes six. Mr. Brown and I have found them
varying down to three.—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.

I have little to oi to the ie le description of this remarkable
tree as given in the works above named. The specimens sent by Mr.
use in some of the indigenous specimens. Catostemma was
originally referred by Mr. Bentham to Ternstrcemiaces. In ‘ Genera
lantarum,’ i. 180, it was rejected from this Order and found pro-
_Visional Hide, with a few other anomalous genera, at the end of
to determine its affinity, was led to look into Malwales and
thao 4 fond: the genus Scleronema, first published by Mr. Bentham in
a . Journal of the Linnean Society,’ vi. 109, based upon specimens of
which he rightly regards as se Svea with Daieiewtaae which

Spruceana, Benth. 1.c.) differs at sight in the elliptical or obovate _
eaves with a distinct apiculus and prominent transverse venation.
senting such marked perigyny of the petals and stamens, I think its
_ length circumsciss near the base, and the limb splits irregularly into ©
2 to 5 ovate-deltoid, or broader, segments ; which of course are in
no way imbricate, as Mr. Bentham eae ‘the calyx might be,

filaments and a glabrous rachis, which latter character is well seen in the

bable, as the type sent agrees as far as it goes entirely with the descrip-

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
pubescent inflorescence, and the want of scales at the base of. the
longer filaments. Such scales are present in a closely similar plant
collected by Beccari in Sumatra (No. 900); also No. 2951 of Beccari
from Sarawak, a similar plant, has the scales, but in a very rudimen-
