Monandrian Class usually called Scitaminee. 957 
This alteration will excite the less regret, as the other Linnzan 
species of Globba are very different plants, and will proba- 
bly be referred either to some of the present genera of Mo- 
nandria, or will form new genera not yet described. The hete- 
rogeneous assemblage of which the Diandrian genus of Globba 
now consists, cannot in the present rapid progress of the science 
long remain united. - | 
But whilst the Monandrian genus Globba will thus necessaril y 
exclude many of the plants at present erroneously enumerated 
as species, it will admit several others of which specimens exist 
in Sir Joseph Banks’s and Dr. Buchanan's collections ; and 
among the rest the Hura Siamensium of Retzius; a plant 
which it has been hitherto found impracticable to reduce to any 
. determinate genus. For this information I am also indebted 
to Dr. Smith ; from whose further researches, aided by the excel- 
lent figures of Mr. Sowerby in Exotic Botany, we may shortly 
hope for a full elucidation of this very difficult subject ; my ac- 
knowledgments are also due to Mr. Dryander, whose intimate 
acquaintance with this tribe of plantsis well known, and who has 
done ine the honour of perusing the preceding arrangement, since 
it was read before the Society, and of suggesting several valuable
