In the absence of flowering material the genus of this plant remains 

 somewhat doubtful.

P. Meeboldii is undoubtedly very closely allied to the S. Indian P. 

 malabaricus which is known to the writer from Beddome's figure and 

 description only. The present species may be distinguished by the more 

 abruptly acuminate leaves, with more nerves which arise at a smaller 

 angle from the costa. 



3. Caesalpinia tortuosa Roxb. var. grandifolia Craib, nov. var. 



A typo foliolis conspicue majoribus usque ad 26 mm longis w 

 9,5 mm latis facile distinguenda. 



Burma: Moulmein, Kowpok, Meebold 17208. 



The material examined consists of leaf specimen and detached fruits. 

 The receipt of flowering material would in all probability yield characters 

 by which the plant could.be separated specifically. 



4. Bauhinia Meeboldii Craib, nov. spec. 



B. Vahlii Benth., facie similis sed pedicellis conspicue longioribus, 

 petalis longe unguiculatis facile distinguenda.
