The type of Conyza pubigera Linn, was a specimen grown at 

 Upsala, the description conforming closely with the characters 

 of this species currently known as Blumea chinensis DC. Son- 

 chus volubilis Rumph.," cited by Linnaeus as a synonym of Co- 

 nyza pubigera, is a good representation of the species under 

 consideration. The type of Conyza chinensis Linn., the name- 

 bringing synonym of Blumea chinensis DC, was a specimen 

 from China, collected by Toren, and the short original de- 

 scription clearly does not apply to the species currently called 

 Blumea chinensis DC. The species, as here interpreted, extends 

 from southern China and Formosa to the Malay Peninsula, Su- 

 matra, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, and the Moluccas.
