tropical weeds, most of them common to India and Africa. The cultivated
plants, which, it will he seen, have been carefully collected or
noted, are also generally diffused.
The new plants belong, for the most part, to African genera; hut
there are two (Harrisonia and Soymida), which were previously only
known as Indian. The Umbelliferce, which are very remarkable, belong
to Abyssinian types. Several Cape genera are represented, as,
for instance, Arctotis and Cullumia, among thistles; Hebenstreitia,
Protea, Gnidia. The Melastomacece, and many of the Labiates, Tecall
the Madagascar flora; and in the Anona, LopMra, and LandoIpMa, we
have marked West African forms.
Besides a very curious new genus of Legurtiinosm, and another of
Cyperaeece, which had already been sent to England by Kirk and
Welwitseh, there are seemingly new and remarkable genera of Amar-
antaceoe, Scrophulariacece, Labiatce, and Asphodelece, and a very curious
plant, unfortunately in imperfect condition, of which the order is
undeterminable without better materials.
