CHAMPIONIA MULTIFLORA. 
1. Championia multiflora (nov. sp.) sub nomine Didymocarpea scabra olim distributa. 
Lignosa suffrutescens erecta: ramis lateralibus abbreviatis ferrugineo-hirsutis, inflorescentiam ex axillis folio- 
rum ortam gerentibus. Folia petiolata inequalia, lanceolata vix serrata, supra scabra subtus secus venas pilosa. Pedunculi 
parum divisi tenues pauciflori pilis nigrescentibus valde hirsuti. Bractex lineares hirte. Calyx alte divisusfere glaber, corol- 
loideus, segmentis anguste lanceolatis. Corolla alba subequaliter 5-fida. Capsula 1-2-uncias longa, falcata. 
Hab. In collibus Khasia ad 500-5000 ped. alt. In Assam et Bhotan. In Sikkim ad 1000-5000 ped. alt. frequens. 
Vidi specimina viva spontanea numerosa, 
I formerly called this plant in ms. Didymocarpwa scabra, under the idea that it was closely allied to the shrubby Didymo- 
carpi. But it differs widely in the strictly septicidal dehiscence of the fruit, which I overlooked altogether. 
I then discovered that it was the same genus as Gardner’s Championia, and on removing it thither Mr. Kurz advised me 
to take up the specific name multiflora and drop scabra, because this plant according to the tradition preserved in the Calcutta Her- 
barium is the lost Boea multiflora of Wallich. The plant fits the descriptions of Bosa multiflora very poorly ; but, as taking the specific 
name of multiflora obviates a chance of altering the specific name again, I have been glad to accept Mr. Kurz’ suggestion.
