The example of Aucher-Eloy, n. 402, examined by me is one Ihat has 

 been kindly lent from Ihe Boissier Herbarium, where it is named C. 

 nUiefolia. The locality however dœs not agrée wilh eilher of the localities 

 cited for Aucher-Eloy, n. 402. in Flor. Or. J, p. 126 and p. 127; not 

 having seen the other spécimens so numbered I am unable lo say whether 

 Ihey agrée with Ihe M' Beylan one. I hâve also been lent from the 

 Boissier llei'bariuin part of a ilower (lower lip absent) belonging lo an 

 example ofSzovitz. n. 113 and bearing the name C. persica. It is not 

 Irue C. persica, nor is it either of Ihe two plants Ihat seen to form the 

 basis of « C. persica Boiss. » as opposed lo true C. persica, but is conspe- 

 cific with llie plant collected by Aucher-Eloy on M^ Beylan. The only 

 spécimen of lliis [ilant in Herb. Calcutta was received from Herb. Kew 

 under the naine C rulœfolia and bears a nuniber, «372», but no note 

 of colleclor or of locality. 



Thal this plant is specificaliy separable from C. rutœfolia I hardly 

 douht. but I am not so certain thaï it is the same thing as Cnjploceras 

 modestnin Schott. The descri[)tion thaï Schott gives of the foliage of his 

 .species does not quite suit Ihe foliage of the présent one; the colour of 

 the riower appears, however, lo hf llu^ sanic in botli. so foi- al Icasl as 

 may be judgf^d from dried spcciincns. Tlie cliicf rcason l'or suggcsiiiig
