246 Mr.D.Dow's Descriptions of new Genera and Species 
series, will constitute perhaps another section. The Chaptalia 
maxima of the Prodromus Flore Nepalensis has been improperly 
referred by me to this genus, being really a species of Perdicium, 
as constituted by Lagasca and DeCandolle. The Chaptalia run- 
cinata of M. Kunth being the centre florets with a regular five- 
cleft limb appears to belong more properly to the following 
genus. | |
