SERTULUM CHINENSE ALTERUM. 299 
My excellent and learned friend Dr. Thwaites, to whom I have de- 
dicated this plant, and who has made a special study of the Indian 
species of the genus, informs me that he considers it nearest to 
H. monosperma, W. and A., but that he has seen nothing like it. It 
has some general resemblance to that plant, but the copious loose 
axillary biparous cymes which constitute the inflorescence, and the 
several-seeded capsule-cells will alone readily distinguish it.

Although Mr. Bentham has, in the * Flora Hongkongensis,’ adopted 
A. De Candolle's name Rhynchospermum for this genus, it is clear that 
of Miquel must be preferred, as the elder De Candolle himself recognized 
Reinwardt's Rhynchospermum, published eighteen years before that of 
his son
