604 XL. iLiciNEiE. (J. D. Hooker.) [-??«a;. 



that the tnss. ticket attached to Blinkworth's specimens in WallicVs handwriting, 

 bears the name excelsa. Brandis is certainly mistaken in referring the Ehretia 

 umlelMata, logethev with various Malayan Peninsula ^specimens, to this species. 

 Wallich describes the flower as inodorous, Brandis as sweet-scented. Very near it not 

 identical with/, rotunda^ Thunb., of Japan.
