Thunberg says in his Travels ].c.: “These (the lowermost Rogge-

veld) as well as the ethers Se have been so named from a

kind of rye which grows wild here in abundance near the bushes.”

Curiously enough it has net been sillectat again since Thunberg’s

times. Burchell (Travels, i. ha 256) says : ‘I saw none of the wild rye

which has been said to be so abundant as to give the name to this

district, but this might ee ewing tu the season of the

This grass does not seem to have been collected since Thunberg,~

nor is there any evidence that subsequent writers have seen peci-

men. As, moreover, Thunberg’s diagnosis and description of this plant

partly contradictory, it is no wonder

Schultes, as well as Kunth, were misled in their endeavours to find a

place for it in Andropogoner. Hackel (Monogr. Androp. p. 651) has

— l.c., £ flosculo hetshap ito nition, masculo aristato’ asi

hpi are of the florets, and the glumes are described as having

losa.’ As the description agrees otherwise very well

with the aires named Holcus capillaris im his herbarium

assume that Thunberg drew up ne diagnosis from a different plant,

perhaps a Holcus or Aira.—O. Sta

The mes are as rigid as those of Ammophila, and the valve,

though conus is still firmer than in any other Deyeuaxia I have seen.

The leaves are very like in structure to the leaves of Ammophila

arenaria, but the blades are more com ‘ e awn springs from

the sinus of the valve, whilst it is, I believe, always dorsal in the true

Deyeuxias, and reduced to a subterminal mucro or quite absent in

Ammophila. This insertion of the awn in connection with the rigid

the ovary top conspicuously appendaged. The great similarity of the

structure of the blades of Deyeuwia sclerophylla and of the other

grasses of Giulianetti’s collection from Mount Scratchley, with the

exception of icrolena, is very singular, and indicative of great

(probable periodical) dryness of the air.—O, Srapr.

escribed a Deyeuxia epileuca was “a very marked species, the

affinity of which lies rather with some Australian sec (of Deyewxia)

than with any others, though it is far from being closely connected ”

and that “the spikelets come, perhaps, nearer to those of D. gunniana,

position ” ’ of the grass (/. c. p. 105). The discovery of Poa papuana

and P. rape eile has given me now the key to it in the direction

Crossotropis is allied to Triraphis and Leptocarydion, which has

ora been reduced to 7'riodia, avery different and natural genus

ving 7—9-nerved valves. Triraphis differs in the usually distinctly

pedicalict spikelets, which are often arranged in compound and dense

panicles and the longer awns, and excurrent side nerves of the valves.

Leptocarydion, on the other iad, has dense spiciform panicles, long

and finely awned valves, and peculi: ar leaf blades. The true Leptochlow,

to which Nees referred C. grandiglumis, differ in the usually very

minute spikelets, entire, muticous, broader valves, and mo- tly globose or

subglobose grain. Dipla achne, again, to which Hackel referred the

Triphlebia differs considerably from Lasiochloa in the nervation and

texture of the glumes and valves ; I can, however, for the present, not

suggest a better place for it than near Lasiochloa. It resembles a

ficially Keleria in habit and has, like K. cristata, 3-nerved valves

but the shape and texture of the glumes and valves, ni particularly

the structure of the grain, are quite distinct.—O. Sra

Native country unknown. Drawn from specimens cultivated at

This species has been in cultivation for some time. It was referred

to Arundinaria Fortunei, Riv. Bamb. p. 314 (Bambusa variegata,

Standish in Proc. Hort. Soc. 1861, p. 614 ; Sieb. et Mi . Mus

Sieb. et Zucc. ex Munro in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxvi. p. 111), a species

only known in the barren state, and distinguished by the more graceful

and dwarf habit and smaller and less hairy leaves. Some specimens of

this come, however, so near to A. awricoma that the discrimination

omes uncertain, in any case, so far as their specific distinction is

Sania but as A. Fortunet is so Se oa pind known, this question

ust remain in abeyance. The affinity of A. awricoma lies evidently

wan the North American A. sranecsohte lem Mich., and more especially

with the smaller variety, deseribed by Munro as var. suffruticosa and

identical with A. tecta, Mibl. The empty bract preceding the lowest

ower-bearing bract or valve is described above as glume, but it may

be equivalent to the bract which, in the two instances where I have

observed an additional lateral spikelet, supported the latter. The

ITISH GUIANA: Up er Demerara river, Jenman, 4275; near

Rockstone, Essequibo river, Jenman, 7491.

This is one of the trees called Hya-hya by the natives of Guiana ;

and it is the cow-tree of the English colonists. r. G. 8. Jenman, to

whom Kew is indebted for the specimens described and figured here,

states in a letter accompanying the specimens, that a bottle of milk

was taken from the same ee and allowed to dry in the bottle, when

it was found to contain a large proportion of rubber of good quality.

G. A. Walker Arnott’s botanical deseription (Hdin. NV. Phil. Journ.

viii., 1830, pp. 315-318), is preceded by a detailed account of the

Hya- ya or milk-tree of Demerara, by James Smith, from which the

following paragraphs have been extracted :

“© T was then in company with a Mr. Couchman, the superintendent

of a wood- cutting fen et aan in the immediate vicinity. We had

sent a lad to search around for the tree, and he returned in a short

time to tell us he had met with it. We followed him to the spot, and

found that he had felled the tree. It had fallen across a little rivulet

the water of which, when we arrived, was completely whitened from its

juice. On striking a knife into the bark, a copious stream of milk-like

fluid immediately followed. Our guide drank of it, and Mr. Couch-

man and myself tasted it after him. It was thicker and richer than

cow’s milk, and destitute of all acrimony, leaving only a slight feeling

of clamminess on the lips. ad already seen that it mixed freely

with the water of the little stream, and as I slept that night near the

spot, the next morning Mr. Couchman and myself drank it in warm

coffee. With this it commingled equally well, and lost all the viscosity

before perceptible in its pure state, so much so as to appear to us

neighbouring woodland establishment. A variety of experiments, too,

have since tended to confirm mein my opinion, that it in no way differs

in quality from the vegetable milk of the cow-tree. Yet it was plain

that the tree was not that described by Humboldt.”

“The milk I send you has now been in bottle thirty-six days. It

did not commence to curdle before the seventh day after it was taken

from the tree, and even then the process appeared exceedingly slow ;

so much so, that on the twelfth day I used some of another portion,

which had been bottled at the same time, in tea, without its being dis-

tinguished from animal milk by those who drank it.”

ae yr closely allied Lacmellea edulis, Karst. (£7. Columb. ii. p.

101, t. 152), is described as yielding a drinkable juice or sap, called

leche 7 ae literally milk and honey, by the Spanish Americans.

An n analysis of the milk of Zschokkea utilis, sent home by Mr. James

Smith, was published by Professor R. Christison (Edin. N. Phil. Journ.

ix. (1830) pp. 31-35).

With regard to the ipa | Seige of the plant here figured

there may ‘be some doubt, e limits of the allied genera are

badly defined ; but it certainly ies not be left in Taberncemon-

tana.—W. Borrixe Hemsir

This is the first of a series of figures of American forms or species of

Sapium, drawn for haga in the Jcones, with a view to the eluci-

dation of their affinities. Dr. J. Mueller (Muell. Arg.) placed a large

number of forms—-some of which had previously bear gc ooo as

species—under Sapiwm biglandulosum, Muell. Arg.,

biglandulosa, Muell. Arg., Stillingia diplenclods Baill. (DC. Beale

has resulted in numerous inquiries being addressed to the Director

of the al Garde ew. any 0 “these questions it has been

difficult or impossible to answer satisfactorily. Considerable time

has been expended in the examinatio Sapium

inhabiting Colombia, Venezuela, and Guiana as a beginning towards a

more useful and scientific classification of the whole of the American

species of this genus. It to be expected that we shall arrive at

once at correct conclusions, because the synonymy is so involved that

it is almost impossible to unravel it. e of the earlier writers on

the genus combined two or more species under one designation, while

some subsequent botanists endeavoured to separate them, each in his

own way, and others went still further in combining, thus creating

almost inextricable confusion

The form here figured under the name of Sapium verum is from

material supplied by Mr. R. B. White at different dates, which was

at first referred to the supposed polymorphic species S. biglan-

dulosum ; and the Kew Bulletin (1890, pp. 149- 158) mn eass some

correspondence on this so-called “ Virgen Caucho” or ‘“ Colombia

Virgen,” one of the main features of which is the uncertainty then

elevation. If so, it is singular that botanical travellers have neglected

to collect it. It is possible t that it may prove to be specifically the

same as S. stylare, Muell. Arg., but it has been thought better not to

own experience and observation in the country, that it was distinct

from 5. biglandulosum ; but there was not sufficient material to prove

Mr. White, as may be seen from the figures 5 to 8, described below,

and it will probably prove to be the same species.

On this subject some notes have appeared in the Tropen sets

No. 11, 1899; in the Belgique Colonial:, January 21, 1900 ; n

the Revue des Cultures Codoniaiie, 1900, pp. 16 and 86. Two diferent

names, S. Thomsoni and S. Tolimensi, are proposed ; but as neither

figures nor adequate descriptions are given, it is impossible to deter-

mine whether one or more species are in question, though probably

only one, and that the same as ours. In conclusion, it may be adde

that S. verwm, Hemsl., S. stylare, Muell. Arg., and S. biglandulosum

var. moritzianum, Muell. rg. . Prod. xv. 2, p. 1206), have signe

tent styles ; and the two last, which are probably identical, have the

blade of the leaf distinctly auricled at. the base, and clongated glands

on the petiole. —W. Borrinc Hemstey,

This species was originally collected by Dr. C. J. W. Schiede, in

1834 and 1835, in the same district where Pringle found it: a fact I

have been able to establish through the courtesy of Dr. A. Engler in

lending the Berlin specimens of Sapiwm for purposes of comparison.

Although Schiede’s specimens were collected so long ago, nobody seems

have taken them up, probably because the flowers are not in a goo

condition. One specimen is doubtingly referred to Sapium zelayense,

H. B. K. (Nov. Gen. et Sp. ii. p. 65), a common and distinct tree, now

referred to Stillingia.

Besides the specimens referred here to Sapiwm mexicanum, Hemsl.,

SERIES IV. VOL. VII. PART IV, a

there are specimens in the Kew Herbarium of two other species of

Sapium from Mexico; or, possibly, one of them may belong to

Stillingia, as defined a entham and Hooker’s Genera Plantarum.

But, it should be added, the limits of Sapiwm, Stillingia, Eacecaria,

and some other allied genera have been so diversely interpreted by

different botanists that their proper limits could only be defined, if

even then, after a thorough study of all the numerous species of this

group of the Euphorbiacee.

The other assumed species of Sapiwm from Mexico are : sas ahi

3020, from Santa Afia, near Orizaba, and Rovirosa, 769, ‘habitat

in Famulté sylvis primeevis, Tabasco.’ The sa aa is a sterile specimen,

and is very similar to S. mexicanum, but differs in having oblong

leaves, thicker in texture, and furnished with @ a prominent apical

gland. The latter is the as a sterile specimen in the Berlin

Kew possesses no specimen of a Sapiwm from Barbados, and none

S. suberosum, Muell. Arg., though the blistered appearance of the

of Plukenet’s specimens in the British Museum with his figure, there

Is little doubt that the figure was made up from fragments of two

A very distinct and widely diffused species, readily distinguished by

its submersed creeping stems, without tubers, and numerous long roots.

Dr. Rusby remarks that it is a characteristic water plant, and his

specimen has a dense mass of roots at the base of the flowering tsi

and Jenman records it as ‘aquatic in 40 foot trench.” The upper

part of the stem is erect, and bears several leaves, which gradually

decrease in size up to the inflorescence. Gardn ner, 3990, referred to this

species by Krinzlin, belongs to H. hexaptera, Lindl. —R. Auten Roure.

Itoa, as will be understood from the comparisons made above, is one

of a small group of allied genera, which are peculiar to China and

apan. This name has been given in honour of the patriarchal

Dr. Keisuké Ito, one of the Lote of modern Botany in ee and

of his grandson, Dr. Tokut to. A short memoir of the life and

works of Dr. K. Ito, bagathee: with a portrait, appeared in ie Annals

of Botany in September, 1900, when he was already in his ninety-

eighth year. He was a friend and pupil of P. F. von Siebold, whose

devoted to philanthropic and scientific work, and he has been the

recipient of m sonny honours, the last being selection by his country-

men as one of ‘The twelve Heroes of mo apan.’ An earlier por-

trait of K. Ito will be found in the Jour ing of Botany for 1887, witha

brief ‘ History of Botany in Japan’ by Dr. T. Ito, who worked at Kew in

1886-87, and enriched the library by the gift of a fine copy of the panini

Zufu and several ate illustrated Japanese botanical works. mon

At a meeting of the Linnean Society, on December 7, 1899, I pointed

out that the African species described under Kickeia differed very

essentially from the Malayan species of Kickeia, and I proposed then

aio name Puntumia Gua from ‘Funtum,’ one of the vernacular

names of /. elastica) for the first group, reserving Kickxia for the

aise as this genus was based on the Javanese Kickeia arborea. As I

* Quoad fructus,

At the time I discussed the characteristics of the genera Funtumia

and Kickxia before the Linnean Society, there were three species,

described under Kickzxia, referable to Funtumia, viz. Kickxia africana,

enth., now Funtumia africana, Stapf; K. elastica, Preuss, now

references may be found. J. Jatifolia was described first as K. latifolia

in Kew Bulletin, 1898, p. 307, and in Ann. Mus. Congo, Sér. 2,1. i. p. 42,

and figured in Wotizbl. Bot. Gart. und Mus. Berlin, ii. p. 355, fig. F, G,

from German East Africa, K. Zenkeri, K.Schum., from the Cameroons,

and K. Gilletii, De Wild., and K. congolana, De Wild., both from the

Lower Congo. I have seen no specimens of those four new species.

K. Zenkeri is evidently very similar to F. africana, while the three

other species are compared by the authors with F. latifolia, to which

they seem to approach so closely that one or two of them may prove to

be identical with it.—Orro Srapr.

he specimens from which this species is described were com-

municated by Professor Arcangeli, according to whom this grass first

made its appearance in rice fields in Novara in 1896, where certain

Asiatic varieties of rice had been sown. .As a weed it is worse than

the common P. Crus galli, and has caused Sitesi damage to the

rice aioe Although the structure of the spikelets is practically the

same as in P. Crus galli, the habit and particularly the leaves are so

distinct ad those of P. Crus galli, as well as of all the other species

of the section Echinochloa, that I have not hesitated in adopting

Professor Arcangeli’s view that it is a distinct species——OrTro
