Goldfussia isophylla, Nees von Esenbeck in Wall. Pl. Asiat. Rar. 3. 38. 
—Wall. Cat. No. 7162.—Grah. in Botanist. 
Description.— Stem erect, slender, much branched, angled, glabrous. 
Leaves opposite, equal, narrow lanceolate, much attenuated at both ex- 
tremities, distantly serrulate, entire towards the base, glabrous, dark 
green above, paler below. lowers in terminal or axillary, lax, capitula, 
each subtended by a lanceolate glabrous bract. Calyx deeply but un- 
equally 4-5-cleft, segments unequal, lanceolate, blunt, whitish but 
brown and pubescent on the sides and edges. Corolla lilac, veined, an- 
gled, funnel-shaped, curved towards the upper side, undulate, sparingly 
glanduloso-pubescent, lower part of the tube white, hairy on its upper 
side within; limb 4-lobed, lobes blunt or emarginate, the lower fre- 
quently bifid, the number of lobes of the calyx varying with those of 
the corolla. Stamens included, didynamous, without the rudiment of 
a fifth; filaments hairy ; anthers suborbicular, attached by their backs, 
lobes bursting along their face. Pisti] longer than the stamens, ex- 
tending nearly to the division of the limb of the corolla; stigma linear, 
narrow, extending a little way along the back of the style; style gla- 
brous, swelling towards its extremity, and terminating in a cone; yermen 
obovato-lanceolate, compressed, ciliated at its apex opposite the edges 
of the dissepiment. Quvules few. 
In habit this species exceedingly resembles that longer known one, Goldfus- 
sia anisophylla, but is at once distinguished by the uniformity of its oppo- 
site leaves, and it is a smaller plant. They are both natives of Sylhet. 
I have only seen the present species in cultivation in the fursery of 
Mr Cunningham, Comely Bank, where it thrives well, and flowers free- 
ly during a great part of the year in the stove; but I have received a 
specimen in flower from the collection of my friend Mr Gray of Green- 
ock. 
Loasa pinnata, Grah. 
L. pinnata ; foliis inferioribus oppositis, superioribus alternis, petiolatis, 
pinnatis, summis, integris oblongis, pinnis lanceolatis inciso-serratis ; 
calycis lobis obovatis, integerrimis, subacutis ; seminibus reticulatis. 
_ DeEscription.—Stem erect (above 2 feet high), pale green, with streaks 
which are at first dark-green and become white, greatly resembling a 
miniature specimen of Dahlia arborea, branched, paniculate at the top. 
Leaves (1 foot long, 9 inches across) opposite, petiolate, spreading hori- 
zontally, pinnate, pinne opposite, in four pairs, lanceolate, doubly incise 
serrated, the three lowest pairs generally auricled at the base, reticu- 
lated, middle rib and veins prominent behind, terminal lobe 3-fid ; pe- 
tioles round, slightly furrowed on the upper side, and like the whole 
of the plant, except the corolla, stamens, and style, provided with long 
stinging hairs, arising from the summits of large glands, of which they 
are the excretory ducts, mixed, as in other species of the genus, with 
short capitate hairs, but not, as in them, barbed ; towards the top of the 
stem the leaves are alternate, and the uppermost are small, simple, 
oblong, and incise-serrated. Pedwncles (14 inch long) solitaryin the 
axils of the upper leaves, erect, cernuous, Calyx persistent, 5-par- 
tite, lobes dark green, obovate with a short point, spreading, erect 
at the apices, Corolla (1 inch across when fully expanded) white, pe- 
tals 10, alternately alike, the larger ones spreading horizontally between 
the calyx segments, and twice as long as them, boat-shaped, unguicu- 
late, sharply keeled, densely covered with short, capitate, soft hairs, ter- 
minated with two long, narrow, revolute points, and haying two short 
teeth on their edges near the claw; shorter petals, half as long as the 
others, opposite to the calyx-lobes, erect, ovate, boat-shaped, without
