 A letter from Dr. A. 0. Black, dated Kew, May 19th, 

 1862, is attached to this specimen, in which the following 

 remarks occur : — 

 " On looking at the genus Scophimii in Herb. Hook. I find three sheets 

 with follicles, and with the follicles on one slieet a piece of a Euphor- 

 biaceous plant in flower and leaf, which I have had cut off, so I send 

 you one of the follicles, and I tliink from looking at it you will readily 

 admit that it is e.xtremely like your Cliinese ' Ta-hai-tsze." If you have 

 leaves on the specimens in the Exhibition, could you manat'e to o-et 

 some for Herb. Hook, as we have none, neither have we of flowers ? 

 AVallich's specimens are from Martaban, and Griffith's, one of which is 

 enclosed, from Malacca. Hooker and Bentham retain tlie plant in 

 Sterculia (S. scaphigera), and Brown in 'Plantw Javanicoe' ranks it as a 

 genus under the name of Scaphiuiu Wallichii." [See Phann Joiun. (3), 

 viii. p. 784.]
