The number of species here enumerated is the same as that of DeCandolle's « Prodro- 
mus,' one of DeCandolle's species (Ph. Poivreanum, DeCand.) having been suppressed, 
and a new one {Ph. Pemerianum, Seem.) added. Ph. Thouarsicmum, DeCand. will pro- 
bably have to be excluded from this genus, its habit being entirely different from that of 
the genuine Phyllarthr ons .
