(81° 81. Lysimachia simulans, Hemsl., n. sp. 
Species L. Fenogreco simillima, a qua differt habitu erecto, 
caulibus teretibus (non angulatis), foliis subtus pallidioribus, calyce 
parvo. 
Formosa: Kelung (Ford!). Herb. Kew. 
At first sight this so closely resembles Hance's L. Fenumgre- 
cum, that it might be taken for it, especially in the dried state ; 
but Hance describes his plant as * caule decumbente longe re- 
pente fibras radicantes copiosas emittente compresso-tetragono 
alis 4 angustis marginato.... sepalis anguste lanceolatis ex- 
quisite acuminatis 4 lineas longis." The Formosa plant pos- 
sesses the same odour of fenugreek, unless indeed it has acquired 
it through lying next to the Kwangsi plant in the herbarium ; 
but there are the distinct differences indicated above, that of the 
calyx being most striking, for in Z. simulans, Hemsl., it is only 
from a line to a line and a half long.

Kwanetune: Fukwing (Krone ex Miquel). 
This is said to resemble the Indian Z. Leschenaultii, Duby ; 
and it may be here included under some other name. 
qi 633. Lysimachia stenosepala, Hemsl., n. sp. 
Herba perennis?, erecta, 1-2 ped. alta, undique glaberrima, 
caulibus tenuibus tetragonis nitidis ssepius simplicibus. Folia 
omnia opposita, in petiolum brevem attenuata, tenuia, fere 
membranacea, lanceolata, usque ad 5 poll. longa, longe aeute- 
que acuminata, crispato-undulata, marginem versus glanduloso- 
punctata. Flores albi (Henry), laxe racemosi, graciliter pedicel- 
lati, 3-4 lineas longi, pedicellis quam flores paullo longioribus, 
bracteis angustissimis fere æquilongis suffultis, per anthesin ad- 
scendentibus (post anthesin patentissimis) ; calycis segmenta
