MYRTACEÆ. 
Cupheanthus, Seem. Supra, p. 76.—In adn. :— 
According to Brongniart and Gris (Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 1866, р. 470), Gaslandia, Vieill. in Bull. бос. 
Linn. Norm. vol. x. p. 96, is identical with this genus, my name having the priority. The genus is an ano- 
malous one, and as its long tubular curved calyx reminded me of Cuphea, I named it Cupheanthus. At first 
I decided to place it in Lythrarieæ, and had canary? À the letterpress set up in that way, but finally deter- 
mined to retain it in Myrtaceae, chiefly on account of its inferior ovary, and certain features which it has in 
common with Punica, such as the thick valvate and coloured calyx, and the impunctate and subverticillate 
leaves. I now find that Bentham and Hooker (‘ Genera Plantarum,’ p. 696), whilst retaining Cupheanthus 
amongst the anomalous genera of Myrtaceae, refer Punica to Lythrariee. In my mind there is no doubt 
that Punica and Cupheanthus are closely allied, and must be dealt with collectively ; and it is singular that 
we should have arrived independently at the same conclusion about their affinity. Unfortunately, the only 
specimen of Cupheanthus existing at the British Museum, is imperfect, but I think there is no doubt that 
the calyx is valvate; 1 have never seen any calyx of the thickness of that of Cupheanthus that is imbricate, 
as the authors of the ‘Genera Plantarum’ suppose it to be. Recent investigations have almost completely 
broken down the boundary-line between Myrtaceæ and Lythrarieæ upon which systematists formerly used 
to rely.
