In the last of these contributions thirty genera of Rubiacese were 

 described. In the present one descriptions are given of the twenty- 

 three remaining genera. Oar account of the species of Psychotria ought 

 to have been included here. But, owing to an unfortunate circumstance, 

 it has been necessary to keep it back for publication in the next paper 

 of the series. In the accompanying key to the genera, Psychotria is 

 however included. The species described in the present paper number 

 123, and of these 47 are believed to be new. 



Ovary 2-celled with 2 ovules in each cell, or imperfectly 

 4-celled with 1 ovale in each cell, always pendulous fx'om 

 about the middle of the septum ; calyx-limb truncate ; 

 drupe with 2 or 4 pyrenes ; flowers umbellate ; corolla- 

 lobes narrow, valvate in bud; scandent shrubs ... 31, Coelospermum.
