3. Eupatorium melanadenium, Hance in Journ. Bot. 1885, 

 p. 325. 



Kwangttjng: Lofaushan {Ford !). Mus. Brit. ; Herb. Kew. 

 Perhaps this should be regarded as a variety of E. Lindleyanum. 



4. Eupatorium Eeevesii, Wall. Cat. n. 3168 ; DC. Prodr. v. 

 p. 179; Hook, et Am. Bot. Beech. Voy. p. 267; Benth. Fl. 

 HongJc. p. 172 ; Hook.f. Fl. Brit. Ind. iii. p. 243. 



Kiangsi: Kiukiang {Shearer !) ; Kwangtung: Macao {Hance, 

 1047 !) ; Hongkong {Champion !) ; Luchu Abchipelago 

 {Wright \ Beecheyl). Mus. Brit. ; Herb. Kew. 



The Indian form referred to this species has a distinct ap- 

 pearance. 



5. Eupatorium stcechadosmum, Hance in Journ. Bot. 1878, 

 p. 228. 



Formosa : Tamsui {Hancock ?) ; Httpeh : Patung district 

 {A. Henry, 2385 ?) ; Kwangtung : Whampoa {Hance, 9817 !). 

 Mus. Brit. ; Herb. Kew. 



This again is not a well-marked species. Hance states that 

 it was cultivated on account of the fragrance of its flowers, which 

 have almost exactly the odour of lavender. 



6. Eupatorium sp., an var. FJ. Lindleyani? foliis omnibus 

 tripartitis. 



Formosa : Tamsui {Oldham, 239, 240 !). Herb. Kew. 

 Possibly Miquel's Fl. chinense, var. tripartitum — Ann. Mus. 

 Bot. Lugd.-Bat. ii. p. 167. 



1. Mikania scandens, Willi. Sp. PI. iii. p. 1743 ; DC. Prodr.

Mikania volubilis, Willd. Sp. PL iii. p. 1743.

Very widely spread in Asia, Africa, and America. Out of 

 sixty species of Mikania this is the only one inhabiting the Old 

 World.
