 NO. 8. August, 1906. p. 363-381.) 



The author commences with a detailed consideration of the 

 earlier histor}^ of the species involved. The result of a critical exami- 

 nation is a very slight modification of the scheme of C. B. Clarke 

 in Flora of British India, amounting to the following changes: 

 5". pulchella Ham. with S. affinis C. B. Clarke to be a variety of 5. 

 angiistifolia Ham.; 5. corymbosa Wight var. Lawii C. B. Clarke to 

 be maintained as a distinct species; two new species {S. paupera and 

 5. exacoides) from the Shan plateau are added. The following is an 

 outline of the author's key to the species: 



a. Species of N. India and Burma {S. angiistifolia Ydcn.pidchella) 

 extends through east of Deccan to very south. 



1. Leaves elliptic, often narrowly so, sepals long, lanceolate 



5. nervosa. 



2. Leaves linear-lanceolate 5. a)igiistifolia.
