1 The arranffement here adopted Ls generally that of Dr. Thomas Anderson, as onntained in his 

 ' Enumeration of the Indian species of Acanlhacetr,' in the Linnean Society's Journal, Botany, vol. Lx. 

 ■nith which several other species since described by Kurz are now incorporated. In J. A S.B. ii. 1873, 

 p. 98, Kurz gives an emended arrangement of the genera after the system of Nees von Essenheck, 

 which may be advantageou.sly consulted. The letters stand for the foliowiug authorities : B. Brandis, 

 C. Cross, Clej. C'leffhorn, F. Falconer, G. Griffith, H. Heifer, Ilaugh. Ilaughton, K, Kurz, M. Mason, 

 P. r.arish, S." Scott, W. \Vallich. 



- A locality given in this fashion, w-ithout specifying the Province, or giving some similar aid to 

 recognition, is simply useless, so far as any information it conveys to the general reader.
