 p. 195), syn. ? Baccharis chinensis, Lour. (PI. Cochinch. p. 494), 

 is not represented in the Kew Herbarium by au authenticated 

 specimen; and Blumea chinensis, Walp. (in Nov. Act. Nat. Cur. 

 xix. Suppl. 1, p. 294, et Bep. vi. p. 138), is perhaps a form of 

 B. hieracifolia, for the author remarks " summopere affinis B.
