Anotber of the many interesting plants sent as by Mr. Bolus, who 

 identified it with Do C^ndoUc's X-m'smia, a plant known to Dr. Harvey 

 and the authors of the 'Genera Plantarum ' only from description. 

 As Mr. Colas points out in a MS. memorandum, and as suggested in 

 ' Genera Plantarum,' the genus cannot be separated from Oligocarpus.
