Addition to Chaillktiacej:. 

 Since writing out this l^atural Order for the last number of these 

 papers, I have received two new species of the genus Chailletia of which 

 I now give descriptions. And, in order to fit these into the key to the 

 species given at p. 91 of the last volume of this Journal, I here repro- 

 duce that key, with these two new species introduced into their proper 

 places and indicated by the letter a following the number of each. 

 Leaves oblong or elliptic-lanceolate. 



Leaves very thin, quite glabrous ; cymes 



globular, "25 to "4 in. in diam. ... .... 1. C. tenuifolia. 



Leaves coriaceous, glabrous except the mid- 

 rib, strigose at the base ; cymes 1 to 2 in. 

 in diam.... ... ... ... 2. C. Hoolceri. 



Leaves membranous, with many fulvous 

 bristles on the edges midribs and nerves ... 3. C. Grifjithii. 

 Leaves-elliptic or oblong-elliptic. 



Leaves coriaceous, upper surface with scat- 

 tered bristles with bulbous bases, lower 

 surface hispid especially on the midrib and 

 nerves ... ... ... ... 3a. C setosa. 



Midribs of leaves strigose beneath ; cymes 



"5 in. in diam. : ripe drupes "65 in. broad 4. G. Hel/eriana. 



Midribs of leaves quite glabrous, cymes "3
