pedunculate; the sepals are considerably shorter than in the preceding spe- 

 cies, with the spurs recurved, and the anthers as long as the filaments ; whereas 

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

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

 toniana, but there can be no question of its being essentially different from 

 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 Wallichian 

 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 Prodromus Fierce Nepalensis having been com- 

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



5. D. Leschenaultianum, umbellis sessilibus 3 — 5-floris, sepalis ovato-lanceo- 



latis acutis basi gibbosis, antheris filamentis vix dupl6 brevioribus, stylo 

 stigmatibus ter longiore, foliis ovatis subpetiolatis.
