FLORULA HONGKONGENSIS. 233 
Philippine Islands (n. 1092). This and some of the allied East 
Indian species come very near to some of the Eastern Gymnanthema, 
there being often but little difference between the outer and inner setæ 
of the pappus.

In waste places, but scarce in Hong-Kong. 
7. Eupatorium Reeresii, Wall. ex char. in DC. Prodr. vol. v. p. 179. 
Hong-Kong.  Gathered also by Fortune and distributed under 
n. A 20. Tt must therefore be the Æ. Fortunei, Turczan., as quoted in 
the Flora, 1852, p. 235. 
8. Eupatorium Lindleyanum, DC. Prodr. vol. v. p. 180. 
Victoria Peak. Cuming’s n. 1349, from the Philippine Islands, 
appears to be the same species.

10. Diploppapus /azus, Benth. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vol. i. p. 487. 
On rather barren hills. The short external sete of the pappus are 
few and variable, usually not more that eight or ten, and not easy to 
see without careful manipulation. It would probably, as well as some — 
East Indian Diplopappi, be better referred to the section Orthomeris 
of Aster. BUR 
11. Diplopappus daccharoides, Benth. in l. c. var. 
Abundant on barren hills. The leaves in these specimens are more often — 
rounded at the base than in Mr. Hinds’s; the pappus is longer, and : 
the short outer setze much fewer, sometimes I have found only one or
