turis minutis glandula aculeiformi decidua npiculatis, ramis florigeris foliosis apice corymbum 

 oligocephalum gerentibus in paniculam coryrabiformem terminalem digestis. 



This, which certainly belongs to De Candolle's genus Blumea, (see Wight's Contrib. p. 13, and Guille- 

 min's Arch, de Bot. 2. p. 514,) is perhaps Baccharis Chinensis, Lour., but Loureiro's description does not 

 quite accord. It is Vachell's n. 202. 



ANISOPAPPUS. (Hook, et Am.) 

 Capitulum radiatum, heterogamum; floribus femineis uniserialibus in ambitu corollas 

 ligtilatas gerentibus. Achenium conforme, lineare, tetragon um, exalatum, erostre, paleis 

 compluribus brevibus insequalibus setisque quatuor multo longioribus inter se inaequalibus 

 coronatum. Rachis dense bracteolatum. Stylus disci ramis apice obtusis inappendicu- 

 latis. Anthera basi bisetosse. — Herba erecta, dense puberula, foliis alternis oblongo-line- 

 aribus obtuse dentato-serralis, ramis florigeris monocephalis subterminalibus corymbosis, 

 involucri foliolis linearibus numerosis imbricatis pubescenti-tomentosis. 



1. A. Chinensis. Hook, et Am. — Verbesina Chinensis. Linn. ? 



This approaches in character to Buphthalmum, but has the habit of Verbesina. 



Adenophora Sinensis, as we consider it to be, of the Order Campanulacece, is in the collection from 

 Mr. Vachell; and Lobelia Chinensis, Lour., (but with the leaves slightly toothed) in that from Mr. Millett.

 Lour.) from the neighbourhood of Canton and Macao.

 1. Achras Sapota. Linn. 



The specimen is too little advanced to permit us to ascertain even its genus. The above name was 

 attached to it by Mr. Collie. We possess also Mimusops Elengi, Willd., from Mr. Millett.
