132 EKUMEKATiON OP [AraliacecB. 



I adopt Wight's name in preference to Don's, as from what I observed of the small 

 trees of this species, it had no appearance of being parasitical.

 ^ This agrees in so many respects with Dr. Wight's figure and description, that it 

 IS most probably identical with his plant, though he makes no mention of the ferru- 

 ginous tomentuin upon the young parts, which however speedily disappears.

 _ Notwiihstauding the discrepancy with Vahl's description of Ms plant, as having a 

 single style of equal length with the stamens, there can be little doubt of the present 

 bemg his species, as it is the common, and, I believe, the only one occurring in the 

 lower part of the Island.

This would appear to be closely allied to P. Wallichiana, W. et A., if it be not 



identical with it, seeing how much the species vary in the number of parts of the 

 flower.
