Dr. Sleumer has reduced Carrierea Vieillardii Gagnep. to J{oa orientalis 
Hemsl., which we judge to be the correct disposition of it, at the same 
time reducing the genus Mesaulosperma Van Slooten to /t0a Hemsley. 
The present species occurs in Yunnan, Szechuan and Kweichow (Tsiang 
6604) in China, and at Chapa in northern Tonkin, Indo-China. The 
results of Dr. Sleumer’s studies in this case, involves the removal of the 
genus Carrierea from the Indo-Chinese list and the substitution of the 
genus /ioa Hemsley.
