Australian L. pusilla E. Be. It also bears some resemblance to 

 Polijpremmn Linn., but differs from the latter in the absence 

 of glands and in having entirely supericr ovaries. This new 

 Logania is very remarkable in its prostrate habit and in having 

 strikingly deformed flowers. The occurrence of this Australian 

 genus in Formosa and the Philippines is exceptionally interesting. 

 So far as I am aware, no representative of this genus has ever 

 been known from any other regions on the North Hemispliere.*

* After completing this mnnnscript, I am informed by Mr. E. D. Merkill who have just 

 returned to Manila from his trip, that he thinks the Philippine plant Xertcra dentata Elmer to 

 be referable to Hemiphragma heterophylla Wall, of the Himalayas. The Formosan species in my 

 hands does, however, not agree with the description of that genus. In Heviiphragma, the corolla 

 is 5-lobed, and stamens are affixed to the base of the tube, while in my plant, corolla is 4-lobed 

 ïind stamens are affixed to the middle of the tube. AccordiDgly, the Formosan plant is, I think, 

 not identical with the Himalayan si>ecies, though the latter may be the same as the Philippine 

 one. It remains still questionable whether the Formosan plant should be referred to Logania or 

 Hemlijhragma.
