NOTES ON THE GENUS NAJAS. t43 



21. Najas foveolata, A. Br. apud Magnas, Bcitr. p. vii (1870) ; Reudlc in Trans. 

 Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Bot. v. 117 (1899). 



Japan — The presence of the species in Japan has hitherto boon doubtful, dc^pendinif 

 on a fragment, with young flowers, collected by Miquel I have, however, seen in the 

 Paris Herbarium a specimen from Yokoska, " in oryzetis inundatis " {Savatler, no. 1348), 

 which undoubtedly belongs ; also a doubtful specimen without fruit in Herb. Drake del 

 Castillo (Faurie ?, no. 470, named " fatsaumo *'). A third specimen, also without fruit, 

 but which I have very little doubt belongs to the species, was collected at Yokohama 

 (Namnann). 



24. Najas tenuifolia, E. Br. Prodr. 345 (1810) ; Pendle in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, 

 Bot. V. 419 (1899). 



I have seen the following additional specimens. The extension of the range from 

 North and East Australia to New Caledonia is of interest : — 



Australia — Port Denison, Queensland {Mueller in Herb. Magnus). 



New Caledonia — Houailou [Grmioio in Herb. Mus. Palat. Vindol).). 



28. Najas setacea, Uendle in Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Bot. v. 422 (1899). 



The locality for this species is Mauritius, not Bourbon as previously stated. A. Braun 

 received the plant from Mougeot without the collector's name. In Richard's Herbarium, 

 now in the possession of M. Drake del Castillo, is a specimen labelled Isle de Prance, 

 Neraud. 



29. Najas horrida, A. Br. apud Magnus, Beitr. pp. vii, 46, 47 (1870) ; Rendle in 

 Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Bot. v. 423 (1899). 



Of this species, hitherto known only from Tropical Africa, there is in Herb. Cosson a 

 specimen from Algeria : — La Calle, Pivisteau au lac Houbera (JDiirleu). 



§ 4. Xudce. 



31. Najas graminea, Del. Fl. Aeg. 282,t. 50. fig. 3(1812); Rendle in Trans, Linn. 

 Soc. ser. 2, Bot. v. 424 (1899). 



Of the following additional specimens the most interesting arc those by which the 

 range of this widely distributed tropical Old- World species is extended to Western North 

 Africa and New Caledonia : — 



Algeria— Senhadja, Lac Preitis (Letounieux, Permudlere). 



Egypt— Damanhur and Rosetta {Letourneux in Herb. Cosson) ; El Khargeh, Gr. Case 

 [Schweinfurth, no. 620 in Herb. Cosson).
