Tuts work begins with a Numerical Index of the Flowering Plants 
collected in the Philippines by Hugh Cuming in the years 1836-40, 
must prove of considerable value to those who have sets of 
belonging to each; and afterwards a systematic catalogue of the 
r 
Cwmingia,+ having the habit and appearance of the Tropical Aus- 
ian Camptostemon, to which it seems most allied. A list of 
corrections and Index of Contents completes the work. 
k is privately printed, and may thus perhaps not be 
nerally accessible, it may be worth while to enumerate those 
_ Species appearing for the first time, giving Cuming’s n 
_ brackets. The following are fully described :— 
-_ Cumingia philippinensis, sp. unica, p. 212, tab. (This was 
discovered. a ihe "ithe ee Luzon, and is not represented in 
vuming’s collections).

Polyalthia lanceolata, p. .

G44 genera, as compared with 3466 species of 1002 genera known from the 
islands at the present time.
