Very similar to M. polyantha, but leaves narrower, 4-6 by 1-lf in., more acumi- 

 nate, cymes usually longer, with distant short branches, flower larger, corolla more 

 salver-shaped, the lobes more obliquely falcate, upper deflexed half narrow obtuse r 

 style longer, its top more globose. Follicles (unripe) red, 5-6 by in , horizontal or 

 recurved, subcylindrie, broadest at the base, gradually narrowed thence to the point,

ADDENDA AND ERRATA, VOL. III., PART III. 



P. 5. Viburnum sambucinum is a Javanese, not a Japanese plant. 

 P. 221. Subtribe V. CONYZEJE. The ray-flowers are white or yellow. 

 P. 232. Under D. Roylei, for Fullaronia read Fullartonia. 

 P. 244. Under E. longicaule, for Milkania read Mikania. 



P. 256. In generic character of Microglossa, for ligule " minute, white " read minuto 

 or small, white or lilac. 



P. 257. Under M. albescent, line 4, after corymb insert " ligule lilac slender." 



P. 260. BLUMEA. Since the printing of this genus Mr. Clarke has visited the- 

 Candollean Herbarium in Geneva, and communicated to me the following notes on such 

 of the species described in De Candolle's Prodromus as appeared to him (without having 

 the Wallichian Collection to compare) not to accord, wholly or in part, with the descrip- 

 tions in this Flora. In respect of these discrepancies large allowance must be made for 

 the fact that, in so critical a genus, the specimens sent by Wallich to DeCandolIe do often 

 differ considerably from those at the Linnean Society. The numbers are those of the 

 Prodromus, vol. v. p. 433, &c. 



3. B. tenella. Prodr. p. 433. The Timor plant is quite unlike any Indian one ; the 

 Madras one may be referable to B. bifoliata. 



5. B. anagal lid! folia, Prodr. p. 433. Is rather B. amplectens than bifoliala, the leaves 

 being nearly entire. 



11. B. Chamissnniana, Prodr. p. 434, from Luzon ; and 17. B. Leschenaultiana, p. 435, 

 are typical B. Wtyhtiana.
