PAROPSIA 
is remarkable for containing species some of which are found in West Tropical Africa, 
others in Madagascar, and others in the Malayan peninsula and islands. 
BARTERIA. 
A genus peculiar in the consolidation of its styles. One species was previously described ; 
and I have added a second, whose singular inflorescence has been before alluded to. 
The remaining genera of the order I need not here further refer to; some, indeed, 
such as Deidamia, Thouars, Thompsonia, R. Br., Physena, Noronh., are almost wholly 
unknown to me, save from the descriptions in recognized text-books. To the genera 
constituting the tribes Modeccea, Acharieæ, and Papayacee of Bentham and Hooker I 
do not here make further allusion, because, for reasons before given, I consider them to 
form an order apart from true Passifloracee. Regarding the genera belonging to the 
iribe Malesherbieæ, viz. Malesherbia and Gynopleura, 1 have also nothing to add. 
ENUMERATION OF THE GENERA AND SPECIES OF THE TRIBE Passifloree ; 
Benth. et Hook. fil. Gen. Pl. i. 808. 
In the following list I have given the names and synonyms of the species included in 
the tribe Passifloree. The American species are described in my Monograph of Ame- 
rican Passifloracee, included in Martius and Eichler's Flora Brasiliensis*. The African 
species are monographed in the second volume of Prof. Oliver's Flora of Tropical 
Africat. Of the new species coming from other countries, descriptions are hereto ap- 
pended, as also of two new genera of the order.
