shape of the stigma and the stipules seems to differ sufficiently from 

 Paronychia to warrant placing it in a new genus ; perhaps it should 

 rather he considered as a subgenus. 



Cucurbit aceai. 

 A species resembling the Colocynth, but the specimens were mislaid, 



Bubiacece. 



KOHAUTIA GRANDIFLORA, D. C. 



Hedyotis Sp 1 glanduloso scabra, foliis linearibus acutis margine 

 revolutis, stipulis connatis setaceis ramis tentibus prostratis, floribus 4- 

 meris antheris erectis. 



As in every specimen I found the ovary had changed into a bud and 

 in several sprouted into a young shoot, I cannot speak with precision 

 as to its Genus. 



Composite Semoniacice. 



Vemonia cana — (Lepidaploa,) suffruticosa ramosa omnino pilis 

 densissimis deorsim adpressis incana, foliis petiolatis variis obovatis, p 

 spathulatis rhomboideisve integris dentatis obtusis acutisve, panicula 

 dichotome fastigiata subscorpoidea demum subcorymbosa, capitulis 

 pedicellatis sessilibusve 10-floris bractea parvula instructis, involucri 

 squamis exterioribus brevibus omnibus dorso histellis margine scariosis 

 acutis (nee acuminatis) in fructu erectis nee revolutis, uninerviis, co- 

 rollis glabris, pappo duplice setiformi, serie exteriore multoties breviore 

 achenio sub-tereti, costis 5, pilosis, valUculis glanduloso — punctatis. 



I observed likewise abundantly a very aromatic shrub, apparently a 

 Blumea, but I lost the specimens. 



Asclepiadece. 



Glossonema Boveanum, D. C. 



Convolvulacece. 



One species, but I lost the specimen, it was a trailing plant, not 

 twining. 



Boraginece — Heliotropiece.
