Both descriptions were doubtless based on material of similar 
origin. 
SPHAERANTHUS Vaillant 
SPHAERANTHUS AM ARANTHOI DES Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 186. 
The type was a specimen from Coromandel. The species 
is a well-known one of India and Ceylon. 
ANVILLEA de Candolle 
ANVILLEA GARCINI (Burm. f.) DC. Prodr. 5 (1836) 487. 
Anthemis garcini Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 183, t. 60, f. 1 (as Buthal- 
mum garcini Burm. f.). 
This is the basis of Anville a garcini (Burm. f.) DC. and is 
the type of the genus. It was based on a specimen from Persia, 
collected by Garcin. 
GYNURA Cassini 
GYNURA BIFLORA (Burm. f.) comb. nov. 
Senecio biflorus Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 181. “Habitat in Java.” 
From the Javanese name cited, blontas China, it is suspected 
that this was a cultivated plant in Java, of Chinese origin. The 
description is definite and applies unmistakably to the species 
currently known as Gynura pseudo-china DC. 
SENECIO Tournefort 
SENECIO TENUIFOLIUS Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 181, t. 60, f. J. “Habitat 
in Java.” 
This is a sufficiently well-known species of India and Java, of 
which Senecio multifidus Willd. is a synonym. 
♦SENECIO CORONOPI FOLI US Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 181, t. 60, f. 5. 
“Habitat in Java.” 
Senecio javanicus Willd. Sp. PI. 3 (1800) 1984. 
Senecio javanicus Willd. is merely a new name for Burman’s 
species. It is a species of doubtful status and is probably no 
Senecio. 
LIGULARI A Cassini 
LIGULARI A TUSSILAGINEA (Burm. f.) Makino in Bot. Mag. Tokyo 18 
(1904) 52. 
Arnica tussilaginea Burm. f. FI. Ind. (1768) 182. 
Tussilago japonica Linn. Mant. 1 (1767) 113, non Ligularia japonica 
(Thunb.) Less. 
Senecio kaempferi DC. Prodr. 6 (1837) 363. 
Ligularia kaempferi Sieb. & Zucc. FI. Jap. 1 (1835) 777 t. 35. 
Senecio tussilaginea O. Kuntze Rev. Gen. PI. (1891) 364.
