1. Clematis floribunda, Kurz, in Seem. Journ. of Bot., V, 

 240. — This specific name is to be changed, as Mr. Bentham 

 has given previously the same name to a Peruvian plant. I now 

 propose to call the species C. subumbellata . 



ANON AC JE^!. 



2. Uvaria cordata, Wall., Cat. 6486, is united with V. maero- 

 phylla, Eoxb., by the authors of the " Flora Indica, but it certainly 

 is different from that species. It is identical with Blume's U. 

 ovalifolia which is, in my opinion, a good species. 



3. Uvaria Hamiltonii, H f . et Th., Fl. Ind., I, 96. — Some 

 forms of this are so near to Anomiantltus heterocarpus, Zoll., 

 {Uvaria heterocarpa, Bl. ?) that I should be inclined to unite both, 

 but I have no fruits to compare.
