1G6 THE JOURNAL OF BOTAXt 



I have compared this with the true *S^. tristyla figured by 

 De Candolle, /. c. tab. vii. : the leaves are smaller, and the pedicels 

 almost glabrous not squamulose. 



h. Folia aspera, oblanceolata. 



21. S. ASPERiFOLTA Stapf MS. in Hb. Kew. 



Mt. Singalan, Beccari 368 ! Hb. Kew & Mus. Brit. 



Hamuli pilis asperis vestiti. Folia petiolata, oblanceolata, apice 

 subacuminata, deorsum cuneata, margine .serrata, prgecipue subtus 

 aspera, nervis lateralibus numerosis arcuatis, lamina 15-20 cm. longa, 

 5-5-5 cm. lata, petiolo pilis asperis vestito et 3-4 cm. longo suffulta. 

 Flores inter minores, fasciculati. Pedicelli graciles, pilis asperis 

 vestiti. Scpala exteriora pubescentfa, ovata, 4-5 mm. long^. 



Noticeable on accovmt of the rough oblanceolate petiolate leaves, 

 and small fasciculate flowers with three styles. 



c. Folia utrinque pilis plus minus vestita, oblongo-oblanceolata. 



22. S. PUNCTATA Stapf MS. in Hb. Kew. 



Rami cortice cinereo obtecti. Folia apice acuminata, basi cuneata 

 nervis lateribus utrinque + 10 arcuato-adscendentibus, lamina 11- 

 14 cm. longa, 4-6 cm. lata, petiolo 12-20 mm. longo prsedita. 

 Flores parvi ex nodositates ramulorum orti. Pedicelli pubescentes, 

 bracteolis minimis suffulti. Sepala + 4 mm. longa. Ovarium 

 3-loculare, pubescens. 



Mt. Singalan, Beccari 98 ! Hb. Kew. 



This and the preceding species are allies of S. tristyla DC. Both 

 have smaller leaves than the true plant, and differ because the leaves 

 of tristyla are glabrous. 



d. Folia ovata vel oblongo-ovata. 



23. S. MEDIA Korth. Verb. 125 ; Miq. Ann. Mus. iv. 107. 

 Mt. Singalan, Kortlials I Hb. Kew. 



Miquel in Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. described S. infiexidens, but he 

 subsequently referred both this species and 8. campt&donta to forms 

 of S. media Korth. 



e. Folia glabra, oblonga, elongata. 



24. S. dempoensis mihi, sp. nov. 



Arhuscul a . Hamuli validi, fere glabri. Folia majuscula, glabra, 

 subtus pallidiora griseo-cinerea, margine serrata, nervis lateralibus 

 numerosis supra inconspicuis subtus elevatis, apice acuminata, basi 

 cuneata, lamina 20-28 cm. longa, 5-6 cm. lata, petiolo glabro 15- 

 25 mm. longo suffulta. Flores parvi, rosei, ex nodositates ramulorum 

 fasciculati. P<?(//cf/^?' graciles, squamulosi. Sepala exteriora squamu- 

 losa, concava, 5 mm. longo. Styli 3. Orarium globosum. 



Mt. Dempo, alt. 5300 ft., Forbes 2262 ! 



A near ally of S. tristyla DC : differs in the narrower, more 

 elongate, and more mai'kedly serrate leaves, which when dried are pale 

 ashen-srrev below.
