Neptunia oleracea of Equatorial Africa. Observed by Rheede ix. pi. 20 in Malabar; — by Nimmo, 

 in "tanks throughout the Concan " (Graham) ; by Roxburgh, and Wallich, as far as Silhet, but hav- 

 ing modern names only (A. Dec); by Loureiro, in Cochinchina, its leaves eaten in salads (Pers.). 

 Westward from Hindustan, is known to grow in Equatorial Africa along the Atlantic (Rich. fl. Seneg., 

 Guill. and Perr., and Benth. fl. Nigr.). Probably by European colonists, was carried to Tropical 

 America, where it has been observed along the Magdalena (H. and Bonpl.), and at Guayaquil (Benth.). 



Crotalaria verrucosa of Equatorial Africa ? Observed by Rheede ix. pi. 29 in Malabar; — by 

 Graham, " common in Bombay during the rains " and found by Law "in the Sholapore Districts ; " 

 by Roxburgh, in other parts of Hindustan ; by Mason, in Burmah ; and known to grow in Ceylon, 

 Java, and the Philippines (Pers.). Westward from Hindustan, is known to grow seemingly indige- 

 nous on the Mauritius Islands (Pers., and A. Dec). By European colonists, was carried to the West 

 Indies, where it continues in cultivated ground on Jamaica (Macfad.), and St. Thomas. 



Oldcnlaudia lierbacca of Equatorial Africa? Observed by Rheede x. pi. 35 in Malabar — 

 (Spreng.) ; known to occur also on Ceylon (N. L. Burm. ind. pi. r4, and Pers.), and from Madagas- 

 car to Senegal (herb. Dec). Probably through European colonists carried to Hayti (A. Dec). 



Elephantopus scaber of Equatorial Africa. Called in Bengalee " samdullum " (Lindl.), and 

 observed by Rheede x. pi. 7 in Malabar; — by Wight, and Graham, in other parts of the peninsula 

 as far as Bombay; by Roxburgh, as far as Bengal ; by Mason, in Burmah, enumerated as indige- 

 nous ; by Blanco, on the Philippines, unknown to the natives though frequent along roadsides, by 

 myself also in the vicinity of Manila. Westward, by Grant towards the sources of the Nile, in " i° 



* Il'oilastonia biflora of Tropical Eastern Asia. An erect "annual" called in the environs of 

 Bombay "soonkee " (Graham): observed by Rheede x. 40 in Malabar ; — by Graham, as far as Bom- 

 bay, "about a foot high" flowering "in the rains, very common on the Ghauts" and covering "the 

 roofs of houses at Kandalla ; " by Roxburgh, in Eastern Hindustan ; and by Mason, indigenous in 

 Burmah. The species observed by myself from Manila to the Feejeean, Tongan, and Samoan Islands, 

 hardly corresponds with the above description, being much taller. 



Vinca {Catharanthus) pusilla of Hindustan ? A small annual observed by Rheede ix. pi 33 in 

 Malabar; — by Lush, on "the Deccan," flowering " in the rains " (Graham); by Retz, a troublesome 

 weed in the gardens of Tranquebar (Pers.); by Roxburgh, in other parts of Hindustan ; and accord- 

 ing to Royle, is applied as an external stimulant in cases of lumbago (Lindl.). 



Ipoma>a pes-tigridis of Tropical Eastern Asia. Observed by Rheede xi. pi. 59 in Malabar; — 

 by Graham, " common everywhere during the rains " in the environs of Bombay ; by Roxburgh, in 

 other parts of Hindustan ; by Mason, in Burmah ; and is known to grow in the Malayan archipelago
