Wall. Cat. S441.=Anosporum monocephalum,'N'E., in Linn. IX, 

 287 ; Wight. Oontr., 92 etc. ; Boeck. inBot. Ztg. 1869, 23 etc., 

 and Trentepohlia bifoliata, Boeck., inBot. Ztg., 1858, 249. — The 

 genus Anosporum appears to be a good one, representing the genus 

 Gy perns amongst Hypolytre^b. 



How Cyperuspallidus, Heyne (=C canescens, Yhl.) is referable 

 to the genus Anosporum, as proposed by B o e c k e 1 e r, is by no 

 means clear. 



86. Choricarpha aphylla, Boeck., in Flora, 1858, 20, is another 

 ofBoeckeler's supposed novelties, and is to be referred to 

 Lepironia mucronata, E. B r. 



87. Scirpodendron, Zip p. — I have lately obtained more fruc- 

 tificating specimens of this genus, from which it is clear that also in 

 the Javanese plant the drupes are 6 to 12 sulcate, so that there can 

 be no doubt ofThwaites' Pandanophyllum costatum being really 

 identical with Zippelius' plant, (See Journ. As. Soc. B. 

 XXXYIII, 85). 



88. Fimbristylis cylindrocarpa. Wall., in K t h. Enum. II. 

 222. — -To this belong Fimbr. abjiciens, Steud., F. Arnottii, 

 (Thwait., Enum.) and F. schamoides, var. fi. monostachya, N. E., 

 in W i g h t. Contrib. 97, as well as the superfluous genus Mis- 

 chospora efoliata, Boeck., in Flora 1860, 113.

89. Aneilema ochraceum, D al z. var. Griffithii {A. crocea, Griff. 

 Not. Monocot. 235), — planta variabilis, nunc vix pollicaris et uni- 

 flora, nunc 5-7 pollicaris florumque fasciculis axillaribus termin- 

 alibusque, basi ramosa et procumbens ; caules crassi, glabri ; 

 vagina supra ciliata ; folia oblongo-lanceolata v. oblonga, acuta ; 

 flores nunc 3, nunc 1 lin. tantum in diametro, ochracei ; sepala 

 et pedicelli dense puberuli ; petala orbiculari-oblonga, j-'l£ lin. 

 longa, ochracea, in sicco cyanea ; filamenta stricta, fertilium 3 

 alternantia longiora ; stylus striatus, violaceus ; capsula 3-quetra, 

 sepalorum longitudine ; semina biserialia, perforata, pallida. — Ar- 

 racan, very frequent on open grassy pastures round Akyab and 

 in the Koladyne valley. Flowers and fruits in October. Also in 

 pnasserim (Griff.)—
