2, p. 268,) as Diplolepis ovata : it cannot, however, belong to that genus, being, as Dr. Wight has remarked 

 to us, a species of Tylophora. We propose to call it T. ovata; and it is extremely probable that Apocynum 

 Juventus, (Lour. Cochin, v. 1. p. 208,) is the same plant. It is n. 229 of Mr. Vachell's Collection.

Loureiro does not make any mention of scales on the inside of the tube of the corolla, so that we are 

 inclined to refer his plant here, rather than, as is usually done, to C. carinata. He describes the fruit as 

 a membranaceous berry.

This is scarcely to be distinguished from E. paniculata, Roxb., nor do we know of any certain character 

 except the colour of the pubescence on its inflorescence. We may remark that Erycibe is the same genus 

 as Catonia, Vahl in Skrivt. Naturf. Selsk. Kiovenh. 6 (1810) p. 98; but, from the scarcity of that volume, never 

 perhaps offered for sale, and, therefore, only to be viewed in the light of an unpublished manuscript, 

 the name given it by Roxburgh, although posterior, is always retained. Catonia glauca, Vahl, 1. c. p. 99, is 

 identical with E. paniculata, Roxb.

* From this Order to the end of our account of the Chinese Collection, we have had principally in view our own 

 herbaria. After finishing the Asclepiadea:, the whole of the species which we have already described in this work were 

 returned to the Admiralty. Unfortunately the remainder of those from China were packed up with them ; and before 

 we had perceived the mistake, they had all been presented to private individuals.
