Brown, or Oldenlandia biflora, Linn., must not be confounded with Oldenlandia biflora of Lamarck and most 

 other botanists, which is Hed. ( Old.) Burmanniana, Br. — Gonotheca Blumei, De Cand. 1. c. p. 429, is, on 

 the authority of the specimen referred to in the Paris museum, and which was compared for us by M. Adr. 

 de Jussieu, identical with Hedyotis alata. (Kcenigia, Wall. Cat. n. 6196, and Wight and Am. Prod. 1. 

 p. 413.)

1. Galium rotundum. Thunb. Fl. Jap. p. 59 (vix tamen G. rotundifolium, Linn.) 



Hab. Loo Choo. — In our plant the fruit is young, and covered with numerous sharp papillae, or very short 

 straight hairs, so that it appears to be more allied to the Euparines or Coccogalia of De Candolle, than to 

 the section to which G. rotundifolium belongs. We are ignorant of the duration of the plant ; De Candolle 

 does not seem to notice it.

Perhaps this is a mere variety of H. cantoniensis (De Cand. Prod. 6. p. 44), to which species our 

 Myriactis javanica (supra, p. 195) certainly belongs. This genus seems scarcely to differ from Myriactis, 

 as now denned by M. De Candolle ; the glands on the underside of the ligulate florets are in our specimens 

 so inconspicuous as only to be observable with a microscope : the appearance of the flower is that of one of 

 the Aster tribe.
