* I have kept up this family much ao^ainst my will and I feel sure that it will be broken np by future 

 botanists. Of the Burmese genera, Buddleia (along with Brandisia and Wightia) will go into Sesameae Fa- 

 graea, usually compared with Gentianeae, appears to me an anomalous Convolvulacea with Apocyn.iceous ovary" 

 Mitreola, Mifrosacme and Gelsemium appear Gentianaceous ; Strychnos hardly deviates from Melodiueaa la 

 Apocyneae ; Gardneria is a Solauea ; and Gaertnera, in spite of its curious ochreate stipules, fiuds its nearest 

 ally in Clerodendron.
