To the above I may add what appears to be another species, but of which 

 I have received but one specimen, the male plant, with the buds not expanded. 

 This has the petals in aestivation nearly as described in S. viridiflora, and 

 slightly convolute : these seem to be white and glabrous on their inner sur- 

 face, but covered on the back with numerous black, prominent glands. The 

 rachis of the raceme and the pedicels are scabrous from the presence of short 

 rigid hairs, often tipped by a gland. The leaves are oval-lanceolate and on 

 longish petioles. With this a fructiferous specimen in Herb. Wiglit (appa- 

 rently selected to correspond with Wall. L., No. 2299 B, when the latter was 

 sent by him to Dr. Wallich) agrees in the pedicels being so long as to form 

 a distinct raceme. Other specimens in my own herbarium, also from Dr. 

 Wight, exhibit the same conspicuous pedicels {\\ to 2 lines long), but others 

 have short ones (scarcely half a line long) as in Wall. L., No. 2299 B, in 

 the Indian herbarium of the Society. At that time Dr. Wight probably con- 

 sidered all these fructiferous specimens as one species ; and their foliage and 

 general aspect differ in no respect. I incline however to think that there may 

 be two, and that the specimens with longish pedicels, which Dr. Wight has 

 again found at Quilon, ought to be referred to S. atro-pwictata. Dr. WaUich 

 describes the pedicels of S. aurantiaca as being " very short :" and in the 

 Indian herbarium of the Society, Wall. L., No. 2299 A, the pedicels are
