of the corolla-lobes), stigma minute. Fruifiin.—I am in doubt as to whether all 
the following varieties are really referable to one species, and whether, if so, 
some others should not be included under it. Kurz, who was the first to bring 
L. obtectus and grandiflorus under L. Scurrula, confines the type plant to a form 
with solitary or twin flowers ; but this is obviously an abnormal condition, and his 
mis proper does not appear to be distinguishable. from his var. buddleioides, which 
take to be the common and typical form of the species.. I have refrained from 
_ quoting any Malayan Archipelago species as synonymous, but I suspect that several 
of these, as Z, obovatus, L. sphenoideus, and L.repandus, all of Blume, are referable 
L. Scurrula.
