‘The tribe of Buchnerew consists of 5 genera, very much alike in 
the form of the corolla, and in the stamina, but there is a remarkable 
difeemanta between the fruit of Buchnera and that of the four other 
enera. The latter (which, if considered as a separate group, might 
receive the name of Erinez) have the capsule of Stemodia and other 
neighbouring Gratioleze ; whilst in Buchnera the dehiscence is con- 
stantly loculicidal, the valves entire, and the dissepiment gee 4 
near the centre, the greater part of it adheres to the valves, which 
are elastically bent back, as in Acanthacew. The analogy of the

species, but little known. Sutera was forme y Rot an East 
Indian species very near Manulea, and which, as far as I sit been 
able to ascertain from dried specimens, is congener to the Capraria 
multifida, and perhaps to obey American herbaceous Caprarie, of

very nearly related to Capraria. It has some affinity in the flower 
to Sutera on the one hand, and to Teedia onthe other. It has also 
the fruit of the two former genera, and Capraria ought, perhaps, to 
have been conjoined in the same tribe. Buddlea is a numerous 
enus, and several species appear to be widely spread, and variable in 
the form of shee leaves, on which account it is important the 7

Under the name of Teedieze I brought segue the three baccate 
genera of Scrophularinew with which I was partially acquainted, 
without adverting to the tribe of Halleriee having been already es- 
known, they will be otherwise distributed, but in the mean time they 
may be left bound together by this artificial character with Halleria, 
under the name of Halleriee@, Hemiphragma should, however, be 
rather considered as an anomalous Veronicea. 
Veronicex appear to me to be a very natural tribe, notwithstanding 
some anomalies in Ourisia and jaiegety aa I regret that my speci- 
mens of Disandra are too mapacsan to form any idea of the real pl 
of that genus. I have not ane examined Geochorda, but it is 
evidently need Sh to Scuparie: : Picrorhiza is a Maes td Ve- 
‘onica, 
united with it. As to Veronica itself I have ese to add to 
Duvau's excellent general observations (Ann. des Se. Nat. v. 8.),. 
except that I cannot t distinguish Pederota ta (P. buonarota, Ageria, 
&c.) either by any character or by habit. It is much to be regretted
