ovaiy with two parietal placentœ. Almost at the same time, 

 this plant attracted the attention of Soleeeder who saw the very 

 same specimen at Kew, and established a new genus called 

 Titanotrichiim^'' which was published in September, 1909, when 

 the description of Hemsley was in press. The priority has at 

 last been given to the genas of Soleeedee. In tlie present work, 

 the plant is mentioned as Tiianotrichum Oldhami Soleeed. and is 

 referred to Gesneracea3. Another plant is Logania dentata^^ 

 formerly described by myself, which should be transferred from 

 Loganiacese to Scrophularinese. In 1906, when I published 

 the plant in my Flora Montana Formosae, I was informed by Mr. 

 E. D. Meeeill that he thought that the Philippine plant Nertera 

 dentata Elmee^' (with which my plant is identical) should be refer- 

 red to Hemiphracjma heterophylla Wall, of the Himalayas. I also 

 alluded to this matter in the foot notes to my paper in which I 

 expressed the opinion that it was still questionable whether my 

 plant should be referred to Hemiphragma or not. At Kew, I 

 compared it with the type of the latter species and found that 

 they were A^ery similar excepting slight differences in the number 

 of the corolla-lobes and in the attachment of the stamens to the 

 corolla-tube. So far as I can ascertain from the description of 

 Hemiphragma given in Bentham and Hookee, f. " Genera Plan- 

 tarum II. p. 959," the genus has a five-lobed corolla and four stamens, 

 afiSxed to the base of the tube. But, in my plant, the corolla 

 is four-lobed and the stamens are also four, but, affixed to the 

 middle of the tube. It may be questioned, however, if the 

 flowers of my plant may not be imperfect ones, as it was
