PRAIN, D., An undescribed Araliaceous genus, fromUpper 

 Burma. (Proc. Asiatic Soc. Bengal. No. 10. Dec. 1903.) 



Among the plants obtained by a native collector of the Royal 

 Botanic Garden, Calcutta, while working in theKachän Hills under 

 the kind supervision of Lieutenant Cruddas, S. C., Commandant of the 

 Military Police Battalion at Myitkyina, one of the most striking is a 

 hitherto uncharacterised Araliaceous plant which cannot be referred to 

 any known genus of the order. It is accordingly made the type of a 

 new genus Woodburnia, dedicated to the memory of our lamented former 

 President, H. H. Sir John Woodburn, K. C. S. J. The species 

 W. floribunda exhibits the character, unusual in the order, of having 

 simple umbels, and has the further unusual feature of remarkably large 

 flowers. W. C. Worsdell. 



PRAIN, D., An undescribed Indian Musa. (Proc. Asiatic 

 Soc. Bengal. No. 10. Dec. 1903.) 



Three years ago a native collector in the service of the Royal Bot. 

 Garden, Shibpur, sent to Calcutta the rootstocks of a Musa from 

 the Jaboca Naga country; the plant has thriven well and has recently 

 flowered. It proves to be a new species belonging to the section 

 Eumusa and is now described under the name Musa nagensum.
