The range given for this species by Clarke. I. c, is from the Transgangetic 

 Peninsula from Assam to Singapore, Ceylon, Madras Peninsula T, Malay;" to the 

 Philippines, but he may have Included more than typical Combretum acuminatum 

 Roxb. in his conception of the species. Ki,^' does not Include the species in his 



-Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula" as occurring in Hie area covered 

 by that work, nor does he mention it in his discussions of the accepted species. 

 As i have only a fragment of Cuming's specimen, ami no Indian material for 

 comparison, 1 am constrained to accept Clarke's identification of Cuming's specimen 



for the present. The Philippine specimen seems, however, to differ from Rox- 

 burgh's species, as described, in being quite glabrous. 



As t,, the nam,, of the species. Kmr' accepts Combretum coetaUtm Roxb., which 

 has page priority over C. acuminatum Roxb.
