The type of Conyza pubigera Linn, was a specimen grown at 
Upsala, the description conforming closely with the characters 
of this species currently known as Blumea chinensis DC. Son- 
chus volubilis Rumph.,® cited by Linnaeus as a synonym of Co- 
nyza pubigera, is a good representation of the species under 
consideration. The type of Conyza chinensis Linn., the name- 
bringing synonym of Blumea chinensis DC., was a specimen 
from China, collected , by Toren, and the short original de- 
scription clearly does not apply to the species currently called 
Blumea chinensis DC. The species, as here interpreted, extends 
from southern China and Formosa to the Malay Peninsula, Su- 
matra, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, and the Moluccas.
