A species previously confuted with Euonymus timorensis Zipp., which is how- 
ever a synonym of Euonymus javanicus Blume. Most closely allied to E. attcnua- 
tus Wall., of British India and to E. gihher Hance, of Hongkong, differing from 
the former in its shorter cymes, bracts and bracteoles and in the shape of its 
leaves and from the latter in its longer leaves and cymes, the leaves of Hance's 
species being rounded and retuse at the apex. Lawsou= admite Euonymus timo- 
remis Zipp., as a distinct species, giving its range as from Tenassenm or the 
Andaman Islands to Pegu, Timor, and the Philippines, the Philippine distribution 
bcin^ undoubtedly based on Cuming's number cited above. The Andaman Island 
reference is probably erroneous, as King« does not admit the species m his 
-.Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula." Not having seen the otlur 
specimens examiued by Law.on, I am unable to state whether or not they are 
i(llentical with the Philippine plant, but it seems proba!)le that they represent a 
different sppcios, or that the Indian specimens are really the same as Euovymus 
aitcnualus Wall.
