After a careful examination of tlie specimens of this genus the 

 writer is couA'inced that Adenosacme longifolia^ Wall., var, 

 sinensis y HemsL, should be raised to specific rank under the name 

 Mycetia sinensis and that it is necessary to restore .Wallich's 

 name for the Malay Peninsula plant Adenosacme malayana, 

 Wall, — Wendlandia malayana, Don, thus becoming Mycetia 

 malayana. It is necessary also to make the combination Mycetia 

 cJmsalioides for Adenosacme chasalioides^ Craib.
