* AVe insert the species oftliis genus in accordance with the enumeration of Prof. 

 De Vriese, ■which is the most recent and complete, but we confess to a strong opinion 

 that they should be very much reduced in number; or perhaps, some of the more 

 obviously diverse among them, should rerther be considered as varieties of A. evecta, 

 than as distinct species. "While, with less complete materials within reach, than those 

 which were at the disposal of Dr. De Vriese, we hesitate, in a mere Index like the 

 present, to dissent from his Tiews, an examination of a considerable number of the 

 species Of that author, as authenticated by himself in the Hookerian Herbarium, has 

 suggested to us thattiiey might be arranged as follows : —
