FLORA OF THE ANAIMALAIS. 15

therein promoted to specific rank. Further there are changes in nomencla- 
ture. At about ithe same time the Revd. Father EH. Blatter and 
Dr. Hallberg published the first part of “A Review of the Indian Species of 
Rotala” in Vol. XXV (pp. 709 e¢ seq.) of the Journal of the Bombay 
Natural History Society. In this review there are two or three alterat ons 
in nomenclature and one new species from the Anaimalais, which turns 
out to be identical with 2 unnamed specimens in my collections, 
I proposed at first to incorp»rate these additions and changes in my 
* list. To: have done so, however, would have entailed much scriptory 
labour and the expenditure of more time than I cou'd afford; consequently, - 
IT have decided to include them in appendices. I was all the more recon- 
ciled to this compromise by the reflection that further additions and altera- 
tions may be expected with the issue of the subsequent parts of Mr. 
Gamble’s Flora and possibly also in the concluding part of the revision of 
the species of Rotala. These additions are taken into account, however, 
in the synoptical analysis. 
This probability of further additions makes any synopsis of the numbers 
of families, genera and species of doubtful value. Nevertheless, for the 
sake of completeness, I append some notes and a synoptical table for , what 
they are worth at this stage. 
Introduced species that have run wild. The following is a not quite 
exhaustive list of species that have been introduced and have run wild. 
Tke number prefixed to each denotes its position in the general list :
