oviformi quinquelobo, stylo incluso ; fructu ignoto. 
Oban; n. 1562. 
A small tree 7-10 metres high (fide Mrs. Talbot). Leaves 10-18 
em. long, 4-6 cm. broad; petiole 4-5 mm. long. Pedicels terete, 
10-17 mm. long. Sepals t 15 mm. long. - Petals about 10 mm. long. 
Belongs to Euscaphopetalum to the series with 5 herbaceous sepals. 
[Sepals dull pink outside, dull purplish-red on inside, petals ribbed 
yellow, anthers cream, stigma pale dull pink, andreecium deep wine-

Pentadiplandra Brazzeana Baillon (ex descript.). Oban ; 
n. 1241. The description of this very rare plant (in Bull. Soc. 
Linn. Paris, i. 611 (1886) ) is short and incomplete, and although 
there seems no reason to doubt the genus to which Mr. Talbot’s 
plant should be referred, its specific identity must, in the absence 
of material for comparison, at present remain somewhat uncertain. 
Broadly speaking, P. Brazzeana is a Grewia with petals much 
longer than the sepals and definite (10) stamens in two series of 
5 each, and these characters Mr. Talbot’s specimens possess. A 
few notes are here appended. 
Rami subteretes, foliosi, glabri. Folia alterna, elliptica vel 
anguste oblongo-obovata, apicem versus cuspidato-acuminata, 
apice obtusa, basi in petiolum brevem cuneatim angustata, 
tenuiter coriacea, utrinque nitentia necnon perspicue reticulata. 
Flores polygami, longipedicellati, in racemos axillares breves 
pauciflores dispositi. Sepala lanceolato-oblonga, obtusa, petalis 
triplo breviora. Petala oblongo-spathulata, apice attenuata, basi 
glandula magna suborbiculari praedita. Stamina petalis breviora, 
toro brevi superne in discum crassum lobatum exeunte inserta. 
Ovarium ellipsoideum in stylum crassum se ipsum breviter 
excedentem attenuatum, 5-loculare, ovulis in loculis pluribus 
2-serialibus. 
Leaves 10-18 x 8:5 — 5 cm.; petioles about 5 mm. long. Axis of 
raceme 3-10 mm. long; pedicels 7-12 mm. long, slender. Sepals 
8 mm., petals about 25 mm. long; gland of the latter shallowly 
erateriform, nearly 3 mm. in diameter. Torus sulcate, 1:25 mm.
