Specimens in the Hookerian Herbarium from Assam (Jenkins) and Ma- 

 lacca (Griffith) may belong to this or the following species. 



2. L. eleutherandra, Dalzell, in Kew Misc. ii. 258. Foliolis ellip- 

 ticis v. obovatis, calycis lobulis truneatis, filamentis liberis, ovario 3 

 (v. 4) -loculari. — ? Triphasia sarmentosa, Bl. Bijd. i. 132. 

 Var. /3 (angustifolia). Foliolis L. scandentis. 

 hoc. Bombay! Dalzell; (Concan !) Stocks. Var. /3. Ceylon, Walker, 



Thwaites (C.P. 1195). 

 Frutex scandens, saspe spinosus, spinis recurvis. Petiolus 1-4 unc, petio- 

 luli 1-3 lin. long. Foliola saepius breviter apiculata, glabra, 3-6 unc. 

 longa, 1-2 lata. 

 Mr. Thwaites states this species to have a tendency to become dioecious. 

 Luvunga Tavoyana, Ldl. in Wall. Cat. 6383, I cannot consider to be 

 specifically distinct from this plant. It forms, indeed, a connecting link 

 which may warrant the union of the Indian forms under one species. It 

 is apparently a larger plant with oblong-elliptical leaflets, 4-8 ins. long, 

 very shortly and obtusely apiculate, with a petiole of from 3-6 ins. The 

 flowers in short fascicles, or panicles, \ to 2 ins. long ; the stamens free, or 

 slightly united at the base, and the ovary 3- or 2-celIed. It occurs both 

 unarmed and with strong, recurved, axillary spines. 



[L. Motleyi, sp. nov. Foliolis grandibus obovato-lanceolatis v. ovalibus, 

 calyce margine leviter 5- triangulari-lobulato v. fere integro, staminibus 

 10 liberis, ovario 3- v. 4-loculari. 

 Loc. Banjarmassing, Borneo merid ! Motley in Hb. Hook. 

 Rami (ex Sched. Motl.), viminei, glabri. Petiolus. crassitie ssepe penna? 

 corvinae, 10-12 unc. longus. Petioluli interdum 8-10 lin. longi. 

 Foliola integra v. obsolete undulato-crenata, 9-18 unc. longa, 4-6 unc. 

 lata. Florcs in cymis densis, depressis, axillaribus, breve pedicellati. 

 Differs chiefly from L. eleutherandra in the large size of the leaves ; the 

 calyx and corolla seem pentamerous. In the two preceding species they 

 are probably normally tetramerous.] 



There is another Luvunga sent to Sir W. J. Hooker by the late Mr. 

 Motley from S. Borneo, which may be distinct. The corollas are fallen. 

 The calyx appears unusually small and scarcely cupulate. The ovary 

 2- or 3-locular, with geminate, superimposed ovules.
