There arc many specimina which form a transition-form 

 between these two varieties, possessing 4- and 5-merous flowers 

 on the' same plant, branch, or even , inflorescence. Such species 

 among the Geunsias as this, might be that, which are especially 

 in a period of active mutation, as mentioned on. p. 30. As 

 Callicarpa pentandra and C. acuminafissima, King and Gamble, 

 Journ. As. Soc. Bengal LXXIV, 4, 801, suppose C. Cumingiana 

 and G. Cumingiana to be identical with G. farinosa. It is 

 evident that this is an error.
