entirely agree with Dr Hooker that it is a new species, and I adopt the 

 specific name which he suggested. Has been kept in the stove. 



In the last Number of this Journal, I described, under the name of Euo- 

 nymus scandens, a species which I believed to be new. Its close re- 

 semblance to E. echinata of the Flora Indica was apparent ; but I way 

 led to suppose our plant different, from having received it from the Bo- 

 tanic Garden at Calcutta under the name which I adopted, and from Dr 

 Wallich having stated as a character of his E. echinata, the transverse 

 veins of the leaves. Dr Hooker, however, has since then obligingly 

 compared specimens which I gave him of our plant with specimens of 

 E. echinata sent to him by Dr Wallich, and he assures me they are pre- 

 cisely the same, the veins of the leaves being oblique in both. The 

 specific name of echinata must therefore supersede that which I had 

 adopted. A figure of the plant will presently appear in the Botanical 

 Magazine.
