*Observ. An allied geiius Echixocarpus, BL, though represented by two species in 

 Cliina and by one in Forraosa, has^ never been discovered within our limits. As there seems, 

 however, to occiir a little confusion in the nomenclatnre of the Chinese species, published 

 some years ago by Mr. llcmslcy, I may venture to make the following suggestion : — 



1. Echinoc^jrpus sinensis, Hance, in Juurn. Bot. 1884, p. 108. 



Ilab. in Ciiina : Kwaugtung, Lofaushan (Faher fide Hance).
