Under the name &. amphidictyum Baker quotes in Mart. doc. ctt., 
a plant of Adartius no. 830, in the Kew Herbarium, that that plant is 
considered as the true &. amphidictyum. Inthe New York Her- 
rium the same plant of Martius occurs and bears the same number, 
therefore we thought it also should be &. amphidictyum. But after 
comparing it with the type of the Prodromus it proved to be quite 
different, the plant of de Candolle having much larger leaves and a 
long nude peduncle, bearing only a few minute bracts and at the 
top a small number of heads crowded together with short pedicels. 
Those heads are much larger than the ones of our plant. 
Unfortunately the state of our specimen does not allow us to 
make a complete description of it, but there is no doubt that if it is 
a Hupatorium itisanew species. Weare not yet convinced that it 
belongs to that genus, however, and the arrangement of the heads at 
the ends of the inflorescence branches suggests certain species of 
Vernonia. Having no good flowers we find it advisable to leave 
aside such a plant, wishing only to point out that Vard‘us no. 830 
of the New York, as well as of the Kew, Herbarium has nothing to 
do with the type of de Candolle’s £. amphidictyum.
