486 ASPECT, CLIMATE, AND 
calyx, although almost wholly free from it, as in Pachycentria 
and Pogonanthera amongst Asiatic, and Jucunda amongst 
American genera. The true Allomorphia or Melastoma 
exigua, Jack, does not appear to me (at least in the specimens 
Ihave from Wallich and some others) to be so entirely 
deprived of any appendage to the connectivum as it is said 
to be, nor as the A. pauciflora; and perhaps, therefore, too 
much importance has been attached to this character, and 
the three genera Pogonanthera, Allomorphia, and Pachycen- 
tria, might be united. 
Myrtus tomentosa Ait. 
Bryophyllum calycinum Salisb. 
Paratropia Cantoniensis Hook. et Arn. Bot. Beech. 189.— 
The specimens are either in young or nearly mature fruit; 
the stigmas appear to be borne on a short conical style, 
which would rather connect this species with Hedera. The 
fruit is 10-celled, 10-seeded. 
Mussaenda pubescens Ait.—Referred by Hooker and Ar- 
nott, and perhaps with reason, to M. frondosa, Linn. 
Ixora blanda Ker. 
Psychotria scandens Hook. et Arn. 
Psychotria serpens Linn.?—This, and the preceding, are 
in fruit only. 
Hedyotis Lawsonie Wight et Arn. Prod. Fl. Penins. Ind. 
Or. 1. 407?—The branches are very acutely 4-angled, or 
almost 4-winged, at the base. Under the panicles, the 
angles are often obtuse or evanescent. 
Hedyotis (Macrandria) recurva (sp. n.) ; glabra, subscan- 
dens, ramis subteretibus, stipulis utrinque longe et rigide 
plurisetis, foliis ovato-lanceolatis supra scabris, venis paucis 
subtus prominentibus, panicula thyrsoidea terminali, calycis 
dentibus elongatis in fructu recurvis, capsula dicocca? coccis 
intus dehiscentibus dorsoque demum ad medium fissis.— 
Though I have seen this in fruit only, it is evidently allied 
to, but distinct from, H.macrostemon, Hook. et Arn. 
Vernonia cinerea Less. 
Vernonia (Strobocalyx) solanifolia (sp. n.) ; ramis teretibus
