been cultivated, all the specimens we have seen of this species 
are from the extreme northern province of Chihli. 
3. Rehmannia? Oldhami, Hemsl., n. sp. 
Herba caulescens, erecta, pedalis vel sesquipedalis, caulibus 
simplicibus, internodiis quam folia multoties brevioribus. Folia 
alterna, longe petiolata, tenuia, fere membranacea, oblongo-lan- 
ceolata vel ovata, sæpius leviter obliqua, cum petiolo usque ad 9 
poll. longa, utrinque attenuata, remote irregulariterque dentata, 
supra parce hispidula, subtus pallidiora, glabrescentia. Flores 
circiter 11-14 poll. longi, in racemum densiusculum terminalem 
usque ad 9 poll. longum nutantem parvibracteatum hirsutum dis- 
positi, pedicellis calycem equantibus; bracteæ lineari-lanceolate, 
acute, pedicellos equantes vel longiores; calyx hirsutus, leviter 
inequaliterquealte 5-lobatus, lobis anguste lanceolatis acutissimis; 
corolla anguste campanulata, leviter obliqua, basi postice leviter 
gibbosa, vix bilabiata, lobis 5 brevibus rotundatis lateralibus exte- 
rioribus ; stamina 4, inclusa, glabra, antheris magnis bilocularibus 
per paria approximatis loculis divergentis; ovarium pilosulum, 
uniloculare, placentis 2 bilamellatis, lamellis utrinque multiovuli- 
feris; stylus glaber, inclusus. Capsula nondum visa. 
Formosa: Tamsui (Oldham, 400!), between Kimpaoli and 
Pachena, very rare, growing on dripping rocks under the shade 
of course rank vegetation (Hancock!). Herb. Kew. 
The distinetly one-celled ovary of this plant points to the 
Gesneracex, and perhaps Rekmannia would be better placed in 
that order. 
4. Rehmannia Piasezkii, Mazim. in Mél. Biol. x. p. 684. 
Curxtane: Ningpo (Cooper!); Hureu: Ichang, Nanto and 
mountains to the northward (A. Henry, 255, 1157, 1876, 
3839 !); Sensi: southern part (Piasezki ex Maaimowicz). Mus. 
Brit. ; Herb. Kew. 
We have seen no authenticated specimen of this species. The 
specimens referred here are easily distinguished from R. angulata, 
Hemsl., by the rounded lobes and teeth of the leaves, and from 
R. glutinosa, Libosch, by the much larger flowers and looser 
calyx. Some of Dr. Henry's specimens are stunted and bear 
only one flower on a naked scape.
