This plant has for many years remained pst a amongst the

doubtful Rutacee of this herbarium. Although we do not possess

female flowers, yet with excellent specimens in “trait and thins bearing

staminate flowers, I think we are justified in naming it. Our leaves

are all 1-foliolate with a conspicuous articulation near the apex of the

petiole ; possibly triphyllous forms may occur curious point in the

floral structure is the achesion of the base of the petals to the filaments,

so that the corolla is quasi-gamophyllous—a rare nore if indeed it

occurs at all in this section of Rutacez, unless it n Atalantia

monophylla, in which the petals sometimes adhere to the Pens: tube.

rudimentary pistil in the antheriferous flowers is by no means

anthers are free from the_tube, though sometimes, in bud, not readily

separable. The description given by Herr Giirke would seem to have

The structure of the flower and fruit is quite that of Driessenia

axantha, Korth, or D. microthrix, Stapf; but the panicles are larger

than in any other species, and, above all, distinguished by the dis-

tinctly scorpioid arrangement of the flowers. oreover, the whole

plant is more or less densely covered with minute glands, whick

consist of four cells in cross position. They are particularly numerous

and minute on the lower surface of the leaves, which therefore appear

uinose.

Another species of the same section is represented by a specimen

collected by Dr. G. ID. Haviland on ‘conglomerate sandstone’ in

primeval forest at Bongsitu, Sarawak, at an altitude of 800 feet,

The genus Plethiandra was placed in Astroniew by the authors of the

‘Genera Plantarum,’ and subsequently by Baillon, Cogniaux, and

Krasser. I have, however, pointed out in ‘Trans. Linn. Soc.,’ lc, that

the affinity lies most distinctly with Medinilla, from which Plethiandra

differs mainly in the large number of stamens. Curiously enough,

Cogniaux has described a new genus, Medinillopsis, which he places |

next to Medinilla, and which differs, according to him, from Medinilla

tion there cannot be any doubt that it is identical with Plethiandra.

There is only one point of difference so far as Cogniaux’s description

1s concerned, viz. the number of cells in the ovary. Cogniaux indicates

three cells for Medinillopsis, whilst 1 fina constantly six in Plethiandra

of Beceari’s No. 4004 I counted, in fact, four distinct septa, the other

two having been probably absorbed. The description of Medinillopss

sessiliflora, Cogn, moreover, agrees almost exactly with my L. 8¢ "

the only point of difference being the length of tke petals.

Another specimen from Beccari’s collection (No. 4049) was =

scribed by Cogniaux as Medinilla robusta. The on : 08

This plant was described, but never published, by the late Dr. T.

Anderson as a new species of Thunbergia, and I am not sure the wiser

course would a leave it in that genus or, rather, in priest

in which suppression of one cell of the ovary occurs ; but as Dr. Gilg

has founded a new genus for it, and thinks the fruit may be capsular—

O it,

I prefer to leave it with Dr. Gilg. Dr. Lindau (J. ¢. p. 113) calls

attention to the abnormal structure of the stem, ‘in many respects

— that of — of which he proposes to give a separate

account.—D.

It is not without hesitation that I refer this fine plant to Stawran-

thera. It has indeed the anthers and globose capsule of that genus,

but the sondliat is that of some species of Chirita ; the ovary and capsule

are genuinely bilocular, and the dehiscence of the latter is, at least in one

example, which may, however, have been aged in ret ipo by two valves

from above. Besides there is no tendency to t the base of the

corolla, as in S. grandiflora, and the style, itagh pacer is long and

slender. The leaves, excepting that they are sessile, are similar to those

of Stauranthera, and the inflorescence resembles that of S. umbrosa

The alternative would be to erect this plant into a new genus, but in

view of the artificial character of many already described and the influx

of two forms from Eastern Asia I prefer to leave it as above,—

This handsome and apparently widely spread West Indian tree is

very similar to LZ. pauciflora, Achras vitellina, 7’ussac, Flore

des Antilles, iv. t. 19), but that has smaller obovate leaves, fewer

flowers, and the fruit is figured as six-seeded, seeds having a

relatively narrow hilum. The bright yellow fruit of L. multiflora

bears the name of ‘penny-a-piece’ or “penny- piece’ in some of the

islands.—W. Borrinc Hemstey,
