314 MR. W. B. HEMSLEY ON THE 
World, 1836 to 1842, and G. Barclay, a gardener, was plant collector on 
? ? ы? D E 
the same expedition. Hinds was editor of a part of D 
the * Sulphur," which does not include the Pacific Islands’ collection (see 
entham's Botany of 
Botany, p. 178), and I believe that the specimens of .Vesogenes euphrastoides 
are here placed on record for the first time. As to Cuming’s specimen 
labelled Dueie Island (Hooker's Herbarium) and bearing the same number as 
a reputed Chain Island specimen (Bentham’s Herbarium), I suspect an error ; 
other specimens in Cuming's colleetions having been proved to be incorrectly 
labelled. The islands in question are about 1200 miles apart.

Mauritius and Seychelles, 242. 
Centranthera prostrata, Bojer, Hort. Maurit. 246 (cult. in hort. Maurit.). 
Centranthera thymoides, Bojer, in schedula in herb. Kew. 
Herba vel frutieulus, undique hispidulus haud glandulosus, vix prostatus, 
15-30 em. altus, a basi dense ramosus, ramis gracilibus rigidis rectis sub- 
distichis divergentibus. ^ Internodia folia aequantia vel paullo longiora. 
Folia omnia parva, oblongo-lanceolata, 3-6 mm. longa, subobtusa, rigida, 
divaricata. 
Agalega Islands, in about 56? 30' E. and 10° 30° S., Bojer. 
There are several specimens in the Kew Herbarium from Bojer, Bouton 
and Blackburn; but none bearing good flowers, though sufficient to prove 
that the ovary is biovulate. These specimens were probably all collected 
by Bouton. Baker, in the place cited above, records this species from 
** Seychelles, Bojer,” for which I find no evidence.
