We have likewise received this from Mr. Vachell; it is No. 210. b. of his plants, as distributed by Professor 
Henslow. The leaves are somew'hat fleshy and very pubescent: sometimes, however, the pubescence wears 
off, and exhibits the under side elegantly marked with numerous slender waved purplish veins. 
1. Wedelia calendulacea. Less. Syn. Comp. p. 222. De Cand. in Wight Contrib. p. 17. 
1. Y evhesina prostrata ; caule prostrate ramoso hinc inde radicante villosulo, foliis oppo- 
sitis oblongis utrinque pauci-(sub 3-)-dentatis basi cuneatis hirsutis, pedunculis monoce- 
phalis terminalibus vel ex ramulorum bifurcationibus folio longioribus, anthodii squamis 
biserialibiis oblongis, rachidis bracteolis squamis paullo angustioribus cseteroquin consimilibus. 
This species we haVe also received from Mr. Millett and Mr. Vachell, (No. 208.) The achenia, although 
compressed, have a rib or angle along the back, so that they may be almost considered as 3-angled: but the 
plant does not differ in any other respect from Verhesina, as defined by Lessing. 
We have received from Canton the following other species of Compositm from Mr. Millett and Mr.Vachell:

1. Myxiacixs Javanica. De Cand.? in Wight contrib. p. 10. 
This plant certainly belongs to the genus Myriactis, and approaches M. Wightii, De Cand., but we 
have not yet seen the character of M. Javanica, and hence our doubts. 
1. Chrysanthemum Indicum. Linn. — Va.chell, n. 125. 
1. Solidago .... Vachell, n, 206. «. 
This is probably among Dr. Wallich’s species. 
1. Aster . ... n. sp. 
This comes nearest A. Chilensis, N. ab E. Syn. Ast.p. 123, but the leaves are quite smooth and glabrous, 
and the scales of the anthodium are acute. 
1. Doellingeria . ... n. sp. 
Allied to D.scabra, N. ab E. Syn. Ast.p. 183; it seems, however, to be quite distinct, by the inflorescence 
being a somewhat simple corymb, the pappus white, and leaves not serrated. 
1 . Blumea Chinensis ; fruticosa ?, ramis cano-pubescentibus, foliis elliptico-oblongis brevi- 
petiolatis supra viridibus asperis reticulatis subtus sericeo-toraentosis dentato-serratis, serra-
