320 THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. [Vol. xxvi. No. sio. 



2 awns on the back of the anther about % mm. long; style 

 about the length of the corolla; fruit globose, about 4 mm. in 

 diam., persistent calyx-lobes subinflexed. 



This variety differs from the type by having the margin of 

 the calyx-lobes not ciliated, the corolla smooth within, and 

 style non-exserted. Wight's fig. (I.e.) represents V. Dotiianum 

 with the margin of calyx-lobes ciliated, the corolla villose with- 

 in (text states so too), and the style slightly exserted. 



V. affine Wight which was reduced to V. Donianum by 

 Clarke is represented in Wight's figures as having roughish 

 anther, longer filament, and longer awns on the back of anther. 

 In these characters my plant is more closely allied to V. affine. 



V. Donianum Wight is easily distinguished from V. bractea- 

 tam Thunb, by having smooth calyx. 



Po-kaU'fung (-It^lltl), Apr., (no, 1266. a flowering speci- 

 men). A fruiting specimen was collected in Han-chou by K.
