This alpine species stands near to T. nepalensis Walp. 
whieh Bentham reports common on the island of Hongkong, 
and that it extends over the hilly districts of India and eastern 
tropical Asia. Both in King’s Mat. Fl. May. Penin. 458, 1893-6; 
and in Hooker’s Fl. Brit. Ind. 1; 699, 1875, Walpers’ species 
is considered a form of T. pomifera DC.

Not having flowering specimens there is some Mo 
as to it being Urandra or. Platea; however, the withered persist- 
ent and apparently united calyx led me to consider it under - 
the former genus.
