minuteness it is impossible to be precise, Mueller gives Khasia, 2-5000 ft., as the 
habitat of my specimens, but I suspect some mistake as to the 2000, for I found it 
ply at Kullung Rock ; it was perhaps confounded with the following in the distri- 
ution.

slender, leaves 4—4 in. petioled very membranous elliptic acute at both ends 
or obovate obtuse or apiculate, stipules ovate oblong obtuse, flowers clus-

A very distinct species in the obtuse stipules, clustered flowers and longer styles no 
reflexed on the ovary, but rising up.

Subsolitary, pedicels of male short of fem. almost equalling the leaves, 
aments very short recurved, anthers didymous cells separate, styles free 
teflexed, arms incurved.
