 cies, with the spurs recurv^ed, and the anthers as long as the filaments ; whereas 

 in the preceding they are four times shorter tiian the filaments.

Another plant referred doubtfully by Dr. Wallich to his Uvularia Hamil- 

 toniana, bnt tliere can be no cpiestion of its being essentially different tVoni 

 that species. The umbel is elevated on a peduncle of considerable length; 

 the sepals are spathulate ; the anthers only half the length of the filaments, 

 and the style twice as long as the stigmas. The specimen in the ^^'allichian 

 Herbarium was gathered in Java by Dr. Horsfield, after whom I had named 

 the species in the Society's Proceedings, not being then aware of its identity 

 with Drapiezia multiflora. 



It is only lately that I have satisfied myself of the identity of Drapiezia and 

 Disporum. The latter name, however, has undoubtedly the right of priority, 

 the volume of the Horticultural Transactions in which it first appeared having 

 been published in 1812, and my Prodroinus Flora' A'ejxilensishav'mg been com- 

 pleted and some copies of the work distributed before tiie close of 1824.
