A species introduced from tropical America and now spontaneous in the 

 Pliilippines. altliough not nearly as common as C. caudatus II. B. K. The speci- 

 mens cited by Elmer are certainly Cosmos sulfureus C'av., which we consider to 

 be a true Cosmos, and only remotely resemble Coreopsis Drunimondii Torr. & 

 Gray.

The type of A. DeCandolle's genus Sphaeromorphaea is a ])lant collected in 

 southern India by Russel and described by DeCandolle in Deless. Ic. Sel. PI. 

 4. t. J/O as >V. Unaseliana. In the Prodromus " he placed under this species as 

 the var. /3 glahrata, a form collected for or by Royle in northwestern India, of 

 which nothing more is known at present. Under his new genus he included 

 further (1) >S'. petiolaris, a Port Jackson gathering of Gaudichaud's, which is 

 identified by Bentham & Hooker^ with Epaltes australis Lessing, non DC., and 

 (2), but doubtfully, Centipeda orhicularis Lour., to which at least in part, belongs 

 the material included imder Myriogyne minuta Less.* 



In the Genera Plantarum, species one and two of the Proilronuis were duly 

 reduced to the genera Epaltes Les.sing. and Centipeda Loureiro, respectively, but 

 .S'. UnsseVutna, the tyjie of the genus, was left undisposed of. It was taken uj) 

 again in the Flora of British India, fresh material having been meantime received 

 frojn cential India, collected by the late C. B. Clarke in the Cliota Nagpore 

 iDuntry. »S'. Rnsseliana is apparently a species of Epaltes, and manifestly akin 

 to E. (luslrnUs. but distinct from that and ](robably endemic in the Western
