So far as I am aware Roxburgh’s C. rubescens is known only 
from his description and unpublished drawings. The last depict: 
a glabrous ovary. If the entirely glabrous condition of the ovary 
in the figure is not an omission of the artist, the character is an im- 
flowers of that species are sometimes pretty deeply coloured.

Though every care is taken to make the successive supple- 
ments of the Index Kewensis as complete as possible, some 
names have been unavoidably omitted owing to no copies of 
the works in which they were published being available for 
consultation. This was the case with the second edition of 
Sturm’s Flora von Deutschland (Stuttgart, 1900-1906), which 
contained about 750 new names proposed by E. H. L. Krause. 
These have now been listed by Mr. Sprague for inclusion in the 
sixth supplement of the Index Kewensis, a copy of Krause’s: 
work having been lent to Kew for the purpose by Mr. C. E. 
Salmon. 
In view of the — number of new names proposed by Krause: 
and of the fact that some have been inadvertently duplicated by 
later authors, it seems desirable to publish a condensed list, 
pending the appearance of the sixth supplement. The date of 
publication is given after the generic name, and the synonyms 
are added in brackets after the specific names. 
ost of the new combinations proposed by Krause are the 
result of his adoption of a very wide generic concept. Thus he 
included all genera of Cruciferae under the generic name Crucifera, 
and united Lycium, Atropa, Physalis and Nicandra in an aggregate 
genus Boberella. Krause reserved the specific names hybridus 
and dubius for hybrids and doubtful plants respectively. Thus. 
Papaver dubium E. H. L. Krause (not of Linn.) is any doubtful 
Papaver, and Chenopodium hybridum denotes any hybrid Cheno- 
podium. Such names have not been included in the present list, 
but will appear in the Supplement. Missbach and E. H. L. 
Krause are joint authors of the new combinations under Carea 
and Cyperus: for the remainder Krause is responsible.
