Fokien: Amoy (SwinhoeV); Kwangttjng : Lofaushan and 

 otber localities (Ford, 354 !). Herb. Kew. 



Very common in Eastern India and Malaya. 



The Chinese specimens are rather different in aspect from the 

 Indian, but we have failed to detect any characters to separate 

 them specifically.

The dimorphism of the sexual organs of this plant is of the 

 same kind as that described and figured by Mr. C. B. Clarke iu 

 the Journal of the Linnean Society (xvii. p. 159), as observed by 

 him in the allied genus Adenosacme.
