_ [Vernonia Taylorii S. Moore in Journ. Bot. 1900, 154, is 
Gongrothamnus Hildebrandtii Oliv. & Hiern. There is scarcely any- 
thing to distinguish G. Hildebrandtii from a Vernonia, except the 
colour of the corollas, which, in the case of Mr. Taylor’s plant, has 
a distinct pinkish hue, and hence led to the mistake. ]
