The first species discussed is probably Kolkwitzia amabilis Gräbner, 

 which is very closely allied to the genus Lonicera. The flowers are in 

 pairs, having confluent ovaries, so that except for the two calyces we 

 should imagine the ripe fruit to have been derived from a Single 6-celled 

 ovary. Usually however only one out of each set of three cells is deve- 

 loped, and sometimes one entire set is suppressed. The corolla is 

 unknown. 



Further Cardiandra sinensis Hemsl. nov. sp. is described. This 

 differs from C. altemifolia in that the larger, sterile flowers in the 

 circumference of the inflorescence consist of two heart-shaped sepals, 

 combined or free at the base. The petals in the genus Cardiandra are 

 strongly imbricated, not valvate, as formerly described.

 A. caspium Bieb., A. brahuicum Boiss etc., all having the perianth- 

 segments erect in fruit. It is most nearly allied to A. Bodeanum Regel.
