Lincolnshire, North-west Yorkshire and various Irish Counties. There are 

 also early records of its occurrence in Surrey, Kent, ehester, Laneashire 

 and Bedford, but it has not been iound in any of these localities since 

 1835. H. H. W. Pearson.

Clematis florida Thunb. and C. patens Morr. and Decaisne were 

 introduced from gardens in Japan and were at first considered to be 

 distinet species. The author follows Kuntze in referring both to C. florida 

 Thunb. The plants considered by the author to represent the wild form 

 of C. florida were collected by him in Hupeh at Patung and Ichang 

 (Nos. 791, 1398, 3516 in Kew Herbarium). The speeimen described and 

 figured was gathered near Ichang on the banks of the An-au-miao stream, 

 a tributary of the Yangtse. 



C. Hancockiana Maxim, considered by Kuntze to be a form of C. 

 florida is regarded by the author as a distinet but closely allied species. 

 C. Sieboldi Don is a form of C. florida with ternate leaves.

MOORE, Spencer Le M., A contribution to the Composite 

 Flora of Africa. (Journal of the Linnean Society of 

 London. Vol. XXXV. 1902. p. 305—367. With plate 8.) 



This paper deals principally with collections, in the British 

 Museum herbarium, from North East Tropica! Africa, Nyassa- 

 land and Angolaland. 



One new genus, Artemislopsis, is described. It is repre- 

 sented by a Single species, A. linearis from Nyassaland. Its 

 precise position in the group Inuloideae is doubtful. Its cupu- 

 lar pappus is suggestive of a new and distinet generic type. 

 The author refers it, without doubt, to the series Eugna- 

 phalieae of the subtribe Gnaphalieae and regards Amphidoxa 

 as perhaps its nearest ally. 



The genus Erlangen Sch.-Bip. is discussed and to it the 

 author reduces Bothrocline Oliver and his own genus Stephano- 

 lepis. A clavis of the species known is given. The tropical 

 african species of Euryops are also arranged in a conspectus. 

 The following new species are described: 



Erlangea spissa Tropical Africa; E. Smithii North-east Tropical 

 Africa, near Lake Stephanie; E. brachycalyx Ukamba, Wakilomi; E. 

 Gregorii British East Africa, foothills of Kamasia ; E. rnwenzoriensis 

 Ruwenzori, 7000—8000 ft. ; E. boranensis Boran, North-east Tropical 

 Africa; E. calycina Malewa River, British East Africa. 



Vernonia ugandensis Uganda; V. Elliotii Mau at 8000 ft., British East 

 Africa; V. viatorum Stevenson Road, Nyassaland; V. calyculata Nyassa- 

 land, Mount Milanji, Shire; V. Nestor Nyassaland; V. milanjiana Nyassa- 

 land, Mount Milanji; V. Migeodi Nigeria, Lokoja or Abbeokuta; V. 

 masaiensis, Masailand, 7 — 8000 ft. ; V. cirrifera Nyassaland; V. ruwen- 

 zoriensis Ruwenzori, 6—8000 ft. ; V. prolixa Urundi ; V. homiloeephala
