communicated by Miquel to the British Museum agree with Mr. Kurz's, which have 

 the calyx-tube not furrowed, and do not materially differ from A. LamaTcki% but the 

 examples of A. sundanum at Kew have the calyx-tube (evea in the bud) deeply 

 grooved and appear a distinct species. 



Var. glandulomm, Thwaites Enum. 133 (sp.) ; young parts ruddy-furfuraceous, 

 leaves ovate or oblong rostrate-acuminato, beneath with most minute shining glands 

 and with glandular pores at the axils of the primary nerves, flowers glandular 

 sparingly hairy, pedicels and calyces furfuraceous with red glands.— Ceylon, Central 

 Province, alt. 2000-4000 ft.; TAw;a27c5.— According to Mr. Thwaites a closely alhed 

 but distinct species. The peduncles, calyx-tube, and petals are much less woolly 

 than in A, Lamarckii; these and the tender surfaces of the leaves are not (m 

 Thwaites' No. 381) glandular, but coyered with most minute glistening hairs, giving 

 under a common lens a glandular appearance. A. glandulosmn thus has much shorter 

 hairs than the ordinary forms of A. Lamarckii, while some examples of A. Lamarckii 

 have the under surface of the leaves glabrous or very nearly so.
