6 ART. I.—B. HAYATA: 
ovary with two parietal placenta. Almost at the same time, 
this plant attracted the attention of SoterEDER who saw the very 
same specimen at Kew, and established a new genus called 
Titanotrichum? which was published in September, 1909, when 
the description of HEmsnEy was in press. The priority has at 
last been given to the genus of SoterEeper. In the present work, 
the plant is mentioned as Titanotrichum Oldhami SotrrEp. and is 
referred to Gesneracesz. Another plant is Logania dentata” 
formerly described by myself, which should be transferred from 
Loganiacee to Scrophularines. In 1906, when I published 
the plant in my Flora Montana Formos, I was informed by Mr. 
E. D. Merritt that he thought that the Philippine plant Nertera 
dentata Exmer” (with which my plant is identical) should be refer- 
red to Hemiphragma heterophylla Wau. of the Himalayas. I also 
alluded to this matter in the foot notes to my paper in which I 
expressed the opinion that it was still questionable whether my 
plant should be referred to Hemiphragma or not. At Kew, I 
compared it with the type of the latter species and found that 
they were very similar excepting slight differences in the number 
of the corolla-lobes and in the attachment of the stamens to the 
corolla-tube. So far as I can ascertain from the description of 
Hemiphragma given in BentHam and Hooker, f. “Genera Plan- 
tarum IT. p. 959,” the genus has a five-lobed corolla and four stamens, 
affixed to the base of the tube. But, in my plant, the corolla 
is four-lobed and the stamens are also four, but, affixed to the 
middle of the tube. It may be questioned, however, if the 
flowers of my plant may not be imperfect ones, as it was
