operis t. 2820, ff, 5 et 6) has a developed leaf on the flowering Viranches 

 at the time of expansion, but apparently no undeveloped ones. 



Jig. I, a flower -with bract and bracteole; 2, pistil attached to axis, one stamen, 

 and nectaries ; 3, a stamen ; 4, a nectary ; 5, a section of the ovary, with portions of 

 the styles and three nectaries; 6, spike of imperfect capsules. All except 6 enlarged. 



The letterpress to t. 2820 includes an amended description of tha 

 genus Corylopsis, which presents some very curious and interesting 

 point?, especially in the development of the leaves on the flowering 

 branches. I may add here the diSerential characters of the two other 

 new species.
