[R. chinensis, Nees (in Nov. Act. Nat. Cur. xix. Suppl. i. 
(1843) p. 108), is founded on a plant collected at Cape Syngmun 
by Meyen, and is characterized by having 8-9 retrorsely scabrid 
setæ. It could therefore have been no known species except 
R. alba, Vahl, which though unknown from China is very common 
in Japan. But from the way this species is united by Nees 
with Indian known plants, and from Boeckeler’s way of dealing, 
it seems probable that the description by Nees was radically 
erroneous. |
