P. MONANTIIOS Scblecbter. [Uragofja monanthos Bail!, ex descript.) Ne- 

 kando; S2)ermnle2ns Movant ; 1000 ft.; serpentine. 975. Coniboui Mts. ; 

 creekside forest ; 1500 ft. ; serpentine. 2175. 



This is tbe pbmt referred to by Scblecbter (Xo. 15157) as Fs//cJiotria 

 pJit/UantJioides Scblccbterj said to be a synonym for Uragoga phjUantlwides 

 Bailb, wbicli name does not appear in the 'Index Kewonsis,' and, search 

 for tbe description having failed, is presumed to be a nomen nudum. The 

 specimens, however, answer the description of U. monantlios Caill. fairly well, 

 especially as concerns the flower, although some doubt must naturally attach 

 to the identification. 



CEniAELis BALANS.1C S. Bloorc, comb. nov. (Uragoga Balanuv Baill. ex 

 descript.) Mt. Humboldt; 1020. Small tree, 20 ft. Mauve flowers. 



Some uncertainty must remain here, as Baillon's description leaves several 

 points of importance unnoticed. B liUon alludes to his pbnit as a small shrub 

 2-3 metres high, but this nuiy liave been a precociously flowering example.
