In my notes on the dating of periodicals (Journ. Bot. 1894, 180) 

 I omitted to call attention to the Boletim as perhaps the most 

 troublesome to assign to any definite date. The fascicles consist 

 of sheets loose in a wrapper, and the wrapper itself is dated in so 

 vague a manner as to be useless. For example, Mr. Rolfe's species 

 in question appear in "fasc. 2-3" of vol. xi. The printed wrapper 

 is dated at the bottom "1892"; in the middle of the page this is 

 altered in ink to 1893; and the part was received at the Museum 

 on August 4th, 1894. The editor. Dr. Henriques, courteously 

 informs us that "il est presque impossible de vous indiquer I'epoque 

 exacte de la publication de chaque fascicule." I do not envy the 

 Jackson of the future his task in ascertaining the dates of publi- 

 cation of the new species in this serial : in this case even the 

 preservation of the wrappers is of little use, and there is no 

 Id formation to be gleaned from the title-page to the volume. 



It is therefore hardly possible to determine the position of Mr. 

 Rolfe's other names. The Ortlwdphon, if a distinct species, will 

 stand ; but in the other cases I must content myself with pointing 

 out the synonymy. 

 Orthosiphon Welwitschii Rolfe, I. c. 88 = 0. adornatus Briq. var. 



anqolensis Briq. in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. xix. 176 (21 Aug. 1894) :

R. GRATUs Focke. No. in Set, 10. 19 v.-c. (2, 3, 5, 6, 15-17, 

 27, 34, 36, 38-41, 44, 48, 53, 57, 110). Very widely spread, and 

 to be found, no doubt, in many other counties. As var. of E. vilii- 

 ccndis Koehl. in Land. Cat. ed. 8 ; but see Dr. Focke's remarks in 

 Journ. Bot. 1877, 367. 



R. LEUcANDRus Focke. No. in Set, 11. Journ. Bot. 1890, 129. 

 7 v.-c. (2, 3, 5, 9, 11. 34, 36). I no longer think it possible to keep 

 apart from this species the E. Cornwall and S. Devon plant which 

 for some years past we have been calling R. hirtifolius Muell. & 

 Wirtg., and which is described under that name in Journ. Bot. 

 1892, 144. The true R. hirtifolius is considerably nearer to R. 

 pi/rainidalis, next in order before which it will be found placed below, 

 where its distinctive characters are brietly described. 



R. EAMOSUS Briggs, Journ. Bot. 1871, 330-332. No. in Set, 59.
