CYRTANDREÆ (AUCT. C. B. CLARKE). 9 
9. Herbarium Wien (Vienna), containing (among other things) 
the collections of Wawra. 
10. Herbarium Caen, containing species of Vieillard and others 
from New Caledonia and some neighbouring islands. 
11. Herbarium Museum Paris, containing a large quantity of 
plants, and several species not seen elsewhere, especially from New 
Caledonia. 
12. Herbarium Beceari, beautifully collected; which has supplied 
far more novelties than any other collection. 
13. Herbarium Museum Berol. (Berlin), a large collection, con- 
laining several species of Hillebrand. 
In these Herbaria, I have been able to see the original types of 
the great majority of described species; and of most other recorded 
species I have been able to see specimens named second-hand 
agreeing with the descriptions, and of which no doubt concerning 
the identification need trouble us further. Of a few species I have 
been able to find no authentic nor named examples; concerning 
these I may offer some explanations. 
The Order Cyrtandraceæ was originally founded by Jack in 
Trans. Linn. Soc. 14 where he described 22 species. Jack's collec- 
tion of these was lost in a shipwreck. The more strongly-marked 
species were guessed from the diagnoses: but, of the rest, authors 
have been fain merely to copy Jack's descriptions. An imperfect 
duplicate collection of Jack's however is in the Herb. Delessert, and 1 
have been able thereby to verify several of Jack's types. I am assured, 
by the comparison of these, that there was some communication 
between Blume and Jack, and that when Blume distributed a plant 
with a specific name of Jack's attached he had good reason for so 
doing. I have thus been able to we nearly all Jack's names with 
plants to stand upon. 
Several descriptions of Miquel SC to plants that I have not seen. 
The Utrecht Herbarium contains some, but not all, of the material 
he had. Miquel had some very interesting and peculiar material
