mann. In this way some authors have sunk the name of Cantliiwn 

 and substituted for it that of Plectronia for the Rubiaceous genus, 

 while Olinia of Thunberg has been generally used for the true 

 Plectronia L." 



For an appreciation of Mr. Hiern's work, we must refer to our 

 notice of the first portion of the Welwitsch Catalogue (Journ. Bot. 

 1897, 23-26) ; the part now before us is carried on on the same 

 lines and with the same care which marked its predecessor. 

 Certain changes in the nomenclature generally received will be 

 noted: thus, Adenia Forsk. (1775) replaces Modecca Lam. (1797) ; 

 ColoGijnthis " Tourn. ex Quer, Fl. Espan. (1764) " supersedes 

 CltruUus Forsk. (1775) ; Harlota Adans. (1763) supplants RldpsaUs 

 Gaertn. (1788). Other changes are: Halimuin Loefl. (1758) for 

 Sesiiviwn L. (1759); B'ranchetella 0. Kunze for Heteromorpha Cham. 

 & Schlecht. non Cass. ; Mamboga Blanco (1837) for Stephegyne 

 Korth. (1840 ?) ; Ouroupana Aubl. (1775) for Uncaria Schreb. 

 (1789); NeurocarpcEa Br. (1814) for Pentas Benth. (1844); Sher- 

 bournia G. Don (1855) for Amamlia Welw. (1873) ; My r slip] ly Hum 

 P. Br. (1756) for Chasalia DC. (1830); Onmqoga L. (1774) for 

 Gephaelis Sw. (1788) ; Tardavel Adans. (1763) for Borreria G. F. W. 

 Meyer (1818). 



As has already been noted (p. 157), the Catalogue is making 

 steady and rapid progress at the hands of the various botanists 

 who, with Mr. Hiern, are engaged on its completion, and already 

 forms an important addition to our knowledge of the Flora of West 

 Africa.
