' 5, Acalypha glandulifolia, Baill. is Buchinger’s species of this 
name. 
6. Acalypha a Baill. is E. Meyer’s species of this name 
treated as it was treated by Sonder. 
7, Acalypha betulina, Baill., to which Baillon only doubtfully 
refers Zeyher 1517a, the only specimen seen by him, is on this 
account A. glabrata, Thunb. proper 
8. Acalypha discolor, Baill. is A. ‘discolor, Ki. Mey. treated as it 
was by Krauss and Hochstetter in 1845. To this Baillon has added 
a variety 3 major, Baill. which is, though Baillon was unaware of 
the fact, the same as A. cordata, Thunb. 
Acalypha there Baill. is A. lamiifolia, Scheele, the 
identity of aiden h A. Kraussiana, Buching. Baillon has failed 
to notice. It is jibe almost identical with Urtica capensis, Linn. f. 
= Tragia villosa, Thunb., of which A. decumbens, Thunb,, is only a 
variety. 
10. Acalypha brachiata, Baill. is EK. Meyer’s species of this name. 
11. Acalypha Eckloni, Baill., based on a gathering issued by 
EK. Meyer as A. cordata?, is identical with the preceding species. 
As the only description so far published was that here supplied by 
Baillon his name A. Eckloni supplants the earlier name A. brachiata. 
. Briefly summarised the resumé of Baillon of 1863 makes us 
aware of the existence of nine species, viz :—A. glabrata and A. 
capensis already known to Thunberg in 1800; A. petiolaris, A. Eck- 
loni and A. peduncularis already known to E. Meyer (as A. languida, 
. brachiata and A. ae Bove wea in 1843; A. gland- 
ulifolia already known to Krauss in 1845; A. angustata already 
known to Sonder in 1850; finally A, Zeyheri and A. caperonioides 
the sristenté of which had been indicated by Ecklon and Zeyher in 
1847, now for the first time pr Agee Beare and described. 
Baillon’s resumé fails to account for A. ctata, Meisn. published 
by Krauss, or to observe that A. lamiifolia, ‘Scheel is hardly more 
than a repetition of A. Kraussiana, Buching. also published by 
Krauss. 
This resumé was followed in 1865 and 1866 by the preliminary 
and the finished monographs of the genus cf Miiller published i in 
Linnaea, vol. xxxiv. (1865), pp. 1-54 and in e Candolle’s Prod- 
romus, vol. xv., pars ii. (1866), pp. 799-889 ae These 
two accounts we may conveniently consider toget er. 
In the earlier account, Miiller gives ten species as coming oe 
South Africa. These are :—10, Boniteeane. (Linnaéa, vol, xxx 
P. 9); 87, peduncularis (p. wie 88, pa iet (p. 29); 89, , petiolara 
(p. 29); 90, languida (p. 29); s (p. 30); Kcekloni 
(p. 30); 98, glabrata (p. 36) ; 118, “Acoli . 38); 119, Resiiniats 
In the fuller account of the following year, Miiller enumerates 
eleven South African forms, adding two new species to the 1865 
list and at the same time reducing two of those in the earlier list, 
discolor and Kraussiana, to the ‘position of varieties of one species, 
decumbens. The 1866 list is as follows :—10, Sonderiana (DC. Prodr. _ 
XV., il, p. 804); 59, grandidentata (p. 823) ; 116, peduncularis 
— (p. a 117, 17, Zeyheri (p. 847); 118, petiolaris (p. 847) ; po =
