Several Polynesian species previously referred to Clerodendron turn out to be members of the new 
genus Faradaya, so that Clerodendroa is represented only by the widely-diffused C. inerme. I may here 
remark of a Chinese species (C. fortunatum, Linn.) that I was wrong in referring, from description, Loureiro's 
Volkameria pumila (Clerodendron pumilum, Spreng.) to it as a synonym. I have since seen the original spe- 
cimens of Volkameria pumila, Loureiro, at the British Museum, and find it to be entirely different from 
C. fortunatum. O. fortunatum would therefore include only two of the synonyms which (Bonplandia, vol. 
x. p. 249) I referred to it, viz. C. lividum, Lindl. Bot. Reg. t. 945, and C. pentagonum, Hance in Wlprs.

of all the Vitian Islands (Seemann! n. 353, Barclay !). Also collected in the Isle of Pines (Milne !), 
Tongan Islands (Matthews! Sir E. Home! Harvey !), New Caledonia (Forster! Capt. Cook !), and 
Samoan Islands (U. S. Expl. Exped.). Common in the East Indies and China. 
Asa Gray distinguishes the broad-leaved form of this species under the name of Oceanicum, and thinks 
it restricted to Polynesia, but I have seen specimens of it from Malacca (Griffith !), Java (Horsfield !) East 
Indies (Gouan! Thomson!). The small-leaved form I have seen from Mangalor (Hohenacker!), China 
(Amhurst!), Hongkong (Urquhart ! Hance! Champion !), Rangoon (M‘Cleland !)

In the thirty-first number of his * Fragmenta Phytographie Australie,’ Dr. F. Mueller defines a new 
genus, which, in honour of the illustrious Faraday, he names Faradaya, and of which only one species (F. 
splendida), discovered by Dallachy in woods at Rockingham Bay, was known to him. Dr. Mueller referred 
the genus to, Bignoniacez, and, on sending his printed description, accompanied by a specimen of the plant, 
he was pleased to ask my opinion with regard to the stability of the genus. An examination convinced me 
that Faradaya was identical with a genus which for some time had engaged iny attention, and about which I 
had previously entered into correspondeéhce with Professor Asa Gra » as one of those specially interested in it. 
The genus I hold to be a sound one; but Dr. Mueller, usually so correct, was, in this instance, certainly wrong 
in referring it to Bignoniacee, with which the plant has nothing to do, it being a genuine member of the
