[i. p. 436.] CUPHEA. 



Koehne has published a second revision of this difficult genus in Engler's Bot. 

 Jahrb. ii. (1882) pp. 136-176 and 395-424 ; and as the result of more extended obser- 

 vation and investigation, he considerably modifies the limits of some of the species. Two 

 or three of the forms described by us as new species he has identified with previously 

 described species, or regards as forms of such. Thus C. anisophylla, Hemsl., is referred, 

 together with several other forms, including C. orthodisca, Koehne, to C. calophylla, Ch. 

 et Schl., a very variable species extending into Brazil ; the specimens we referred to his 

 C. palustris he regards as C. procumbens, Cav. ; C. minuta he reduces to a variety of 

 C. llavea; C. prqpinqua, Hemsl., and C. ternata, Peyr., are referred to C. heterophylla, 

 Benth. ; and C. dodecandra, Hemsl. f, is the same as C. subuligera, Koehne. Further, 

 there are three additional species.

f Koehne states the occurrence of twelve stamens is in the highest degree remarkable. Their existence in our 

 plant was verified by two of our colleagues.
