32 DE. H. F. hance's supplbmeNt to 



views as to their position and limits. . I do not presume to offer 

 any opinion on the merits of this arrangement ; but the extent of 

 the changes effected is in itself a suificient proof of the great 

 care with which the recension has been conducted. It is a matter 

 of regret that the ordinary rules for indicating the authorities 

 for generic and specific names have been so extensively departed 

 from as to have called forth reasonable protests from many 

 botanists. I subjoin the nomenclature adopted by Herr Miiller 

 for the Hongkong plants, when it differs from that of Mr. 

 Bentham. 



♦Daphniphyllum glaucescens, Blume; J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xvi. 3. 

 (=D. Roxburghii, BailL; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 316.) 

 This genus is regarded by J. Miiller as the type of a distiuct 

 order. 



*Agyneia bacciformis, A. Juss. ; J. Mull, in DC. Prod. sv. 238. ( = Phyl- 

 lanthus bacciforinis, Linn. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 310.) 



*Antidesma GhaesembiUa, Gdertn.; J. Mull, in DC. Prod. xv. 251. 

 (=A. panieulatum, Roxb. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 318.) 



*PhyUanthust (Euglochidion) Amottianus, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. 

 XV. 279. ( = Gloc!iiclion moUe, Hook, and Am. ; Benth. Fl. Hongk. 

 314.) 



♦PhyUanthus (Euglochidion) hongkongensis, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. 

 XV. 282. ( = Glochidion litorale, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 314, but not of 

 Blume, according to J. Miiller.) 



♦Phyllanthus (Euglochidion) Benthamianus, /. Milll. in DC. Prodr. 

 XV. 282. (=Glochidion macrophyllum, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 315.) 



♦Phyllanthus (Hemiglochidion) phiUppinensis, J. Mull, in DC. 

 Prod. XV. 295. • (=Glochidion philippinensis, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 314.) 



♦Phyllanthus (Hemiglochidion) Wrightii, J. Mull, in DC. Prod. 

 XV. 298. (=Glochidion Wrightii, Benth. Fl. Hongk. 213.) 



*PhyUanthus (Hemiglochidion) eriocarpus, J. Miill. in DC. Prod. 

 XV. 306. ( = Glochidion eriocarpum. Champ. ; Beath. Fl. Hongk. 314.) 



*PhyUanthus (Hemiglochidion) puberus. 8. sinicus, J. Miill. in 

 DC. Prod. XV. 307. ( = Glochidion. sinieum. Hook, and Am. ; Bmth. 

 Fl Hongk. 314.) 



t I have enumerated all the Hongkong species of this large genus, as limited 

 by.J. MuUer, even where there is no change of name, for the purpose of show- 

 ing the section in which he places each.
