NOTICES OP BOOKS, 61 



HELTcnRTSFM Stetidelii, SchuUz Bip.^ is called by us Gnaphalium 

 Steudelii, Schultz Bip., and indeed is mentioned as belonging to the 

 latter genus by Benthamand Hooker, Gen. PI. ii., 306. 



HELicnRYSTJM: GLOBoscM, Schultz Bip., ji. EuoDocnLAMTS, Vatke, 

 is //, purpureum, Oliv. et Hiern ex Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. PI. ii. 

 306, and may be correctly treated as a variety rather than a distinct 

 species. 



Antitueixia abtssinica, Benth. et Hooh. f. The plant (no. 1443) 

 we make a new species of the genus, being the third species alluded to 

 in the " Genera Plantarum." 



Inula arbuscula, Del. The plant (no. 613) we refer to 1. confer - 

 tiflora, A. Bich., as well as that (no. 1474) so referred to by Vatke. 



SiEGESBECKiA oRiENTALis, L., var., Vatke. The plant (no. 519) we 

 regard as a new species of SigeshecJcia. 



Coreopsis prestinaria, SchuUz Bip. Wo agree as to the plant 

 numbered 429 ; but those numbered 71 and 1423 we refer to C. 

 macr antha, Schultz Bip. 



Coreopsis abyssinica, SchuUz Bip., forma latisecta. This plant 

 (no. 329) we regard as a new species of this genus. 



Cineraria grandiflora, Vatke. This plant (no. 1517) we had 

 treated as a variety of C. abyssinica, Schultz Bip., differing from 

 the type of the species by the presence of large ligules to the ray- 

 florets. 



Senecio iEGYPTius, Z. "Wo do not agree in uniting S. pinnatipar- 

 titus, Schultz Bip., to the Linnean species, and retain Schultz's name 

 for the plant numbered 635. 



Senecio gattatensis, Vathe, does not appear to us to differ specifi- 

 cally from S. vulgaris, L. 



Senecio coneertus, SchuUz Bip. "We agree in so naming the plant 

 numbered 1521, but that numbered 1532 we consider to be a new 

 species of Senecio. 



Senecio nanus, Schultz Bip. "We follow Bentham and Hooker, 

 Gen. PL ii., 451, in referring this species to the genus Werneria. 



Cnicus cham^cephalus, Vathe (no. 1412), is a species of Car- 

 dmis. 



Centaurea vaeians, a. Rich. "We retain C. abyssinica, Schultz 

 Bip., as a distinct species, not as a variety of Richard's species. 



In a few cases the specimens that we have seen have been too im- 

 perfect for us to feel quite sure of their species, but in some state or 

 other we have seen nearly all the numbers quoted by Vatke. A {q\y 

 remain to mention that Vatke has not quoted : — 



205. Aspilia Kotschyi, Benth. et Hook. f. " In 'Siimpfen-Ebeno, 

 Hamedo, 4500' iiber Meer, 14 Sept., '62." 



1529. Senecio, sp. nov. " Grosse Standen ahnliche Planze am 

 Rand der Siimpfe, 8500' iiber Meer, 1 Novbr., '63." 



The plants numbered 572, 559, and 1352 are Psiadia, Gynura, 

 and Senecio cletnatoides, Schultz Bip., respectively. These numbers 

 are not quoted by Vatke, but specimens without number and with 

 localities, &c., and probably intended for the numbered plants, are 

 given. 



"With regard to Psiadia arahica, Jaub. et Spach (no. 572), I may 

 mention that this is s^'nonymous with Nidorella punciidata, DC-
