Unona discolor Vahl. 
Phoberos Chinensis Lour—Wight et Arn. Prod. Fl. 
Penins. Ind. Or. 1. 30. 
Blackwellia Loureiri—Astranthus Cochinchensis, Lour. 
Perigonii lacinie 14-17. Stamina sepissime 7. Styli 3. 
Viola Patrinii, B Chinensis, DC. Prod. 2. 293.—These 
specimens rather resemble, in habit and character, the speci- 
men ofthe true V. Patrinii, which I have received from Bes- 
ser, than Bunge's specimens of his V. prionantha, to which he 
refers De Candolle’s Chinese variety. The plant is indeed 
smooth, as in V. prionantha, but the stipules are narrow, 
and the spur shorter. Probably all three plants may be forms 
of one species, - 
Viola (Nonimium) tenuis (sp. n.); acaulis, estolonosa, 
hirta, folis ovato-oblongis basi truncatis, stipulis lineari- 
lanceolatis, pedunculo gracili elongato, calcare brevissimo, 
stigmate marginato.—Rhizoma quam in affinibus tenuius. 
Folia forma fere V. primulefolie, et V. Patrinii, sed minora, 
pilis patentibus hirta. Pedunculi foliis seepe duplo longiores, 
bracteis linearibus longiusculis. Flos magnitudine V. primu- 
lefolie. Sepala tenera, acuta. Petala nec barbata nec striata. 
Calcar latitudine sua brevius. Stigma orbiculato-dilatatum. 
Drosera Loureirii Hook. et Arn. 
Stellaria uliginosa Linn., var. undulata, Zentzl. 
Sida humilis Willd. 
Waltheria Americana Linn. 
Helicteres angustifolia Linn. 
Polyspora azillaris Sweet, G. Don, Gen. Syst. 1. 574.— 
This plant, originally referred to Camellia, and latterly by 
Endlicher to Gordonia, appears to be sufficiently distinct 
from the former by the styles connate to the apex, and from
