Hemeroca.us Japonica (Bot. Mag. t. 1433.) and H. ca@- 
rulea (Bot. Mag. t. 894.) constitute a distinct group in that 
Genus which Sprencet has separated, and to which he has 
given the name of Funcxia. The present is a species be- _

who found it in Japan, and introduced it to the gardens 
in Belgium, whence it was received by Mr. Murray at the 
Glasgow Botanic Garden from Mr. M‘Coy. It flowersin 
the greenhouse in July.
