Limonial pubescens, Wall. Cat. 6365. Of this I have seen the very im- 

 perfect specimens of the Wallichian Herbarium. It seems nearly allied 

 to L. acidissima ; perhaps a form with the young leaves, and veins 

 pubescent or puberulous. It is from near Toong Doong, Birma.

* Mr. Thwaites has kindly sent me a fragment forwarded to him from the 

 Java Botanic Garden under the name of Triphasia sarmentosa, Bl. It is, as 

 ^•Thwaites considers it, a Luvunga, apparently the L. eleutherandra,ofDalze\l. 

 The stamens are free, the ovary bilocular, the ovules geminate, superimposed.
