IMPBEJEOTIT KNOWK AND EXCLUDED SPEOIBS. 



A. GiOANTETTS, Blume BumpTi. i. 147, t. 34, is not British Indian ; and the re- 

 ference under it to Denst. Glav. Rort. Mai. and Mheede Hort. Mai. should be 

 struck out. 



A. LTEATtrs, Engler Arac. 319 (Arum lyratum, Boab. Fl. Ind. iii. 508, Cono- 

 phallus lyratus, Sehott Syn. 35 ; Frodr. 130) is according to Roxburgh's drawing 

 Tacca pirmatifida, with the detached berry of an Arisisma ? 



A. TUBBEOULi&EE, Engler Arac. 317 ; tuber small, leaf 3-seot, branches 1-2 in. 

 pinnatifidly or pinnatiseotly 3-5-foliolate, segments 3-4 by 1-li in. sessile elliptic-

 Conophallus tuberculiger, Sohott, Bonpland. (1859), 78 ; Frodr. 129.— Khasia Hills, 

 alt. 3-4000 ft. J. D. B. and T. T.— Described by Sehott from leaves only. Engler 

 has added a description of the spathe of A. hulhifer, from the drawing of a Sikkim 

 specimen of that plant which he supposed to be the same.
