Australian L. pusilla E. Be. It also bears some resemblance to 

 Polypremum Linn., bnt differs from the latter in the absence 

 of glands and in having entirely superior ovaries. This new 

 Logania is very remarkable in its prostrate liabit and in having 

 strikingly deformed flowers. The occurrence of this Australian 

 genus in Formosa and the Philippines is exceptionally interesting. 

 So far as I am aware, no representative of this genus has ever 

 been known from any other regions on the North Hemisphere.*

* After completing Ibis mfinnscript, I am informed by Mr. E. D. Merkill who have just 

 returned to Manila from his trip, that he thinks the Philippine plant Kertera dentata Elmkr to 

 1)6 referable to Jlcmiphragma hderophylla Wall, of the Himalayas. The Formosan species in my 

 hands does, however, not agree wilh the description of that genus. In Ikmiphragma, the corolla 

 is 5-lobed, and stamens are affixed to the base of the tube, while in my plant, corolla is 4-lobed 

 and stamens are affixed to the middle of the tube. Accordingly, the Formosan plant is, I think, 

 not identical with the Himalayan species, though the latter may be the same as the Philippine 

 one. It remains still questionable whether the Formosan plant should l)e referred to Logania or 

 Ilemijjhragma.
