the latter species. In any case if a specific name is needed for the form 

 with 6 or 7 styles (F.Balansae Gagnep.), other than the above name I have 

 adopted from the younger Burman, then this is supplied by Myroxylon 

 decline Blanco (1837) and Stigmarota edulis Blanco (1845), for Blanco's 

 species is exactly identical with the form described by Gagnepain. The 

 form with six styles also occurs in the Malay Peninsula and presumably in 

 Java as Koorders and Valeton describe Flacourtia ramontchi L'II6r., 

 which I believe also to be a synonym of F. indica Merr., as having 4- to 7- 

 merous flowers. Flacourtia rukam Z. & M., F. inermis Roxb., and F. 

 jangomas Steud., all present the same variation in the number of styles as 

 does F. indica Merr. I therefore consider the style character to be an 

 inconstant one in Flacourtia, and that F. Balansae Gagnep. cannot be 

 separated from F. sepiaria Roxb. = F. indica (Burm. f.) Merr.

Arbor glabra, 8 ad 10 m. alta, rain is ramulisque teretibus, brunneis, 



ramulis 1 ad 1.5 mm. diametro; foliis opposilis, oblongo-ellipticis ad ellip- 



ticis, utrinque angustatis, apice acuminatis, basi subobtusis ad cuneatis,

Hainan: Five Finger Mountains, W. Y. Chun, no. 2034 (type), 1567, 

 May and June, 1920, in forests. Chun's no. 2033 probably also belongs 

 here, but I have seen no specimen of this, having merely Mr. A. N. Ste- 

 ward's note on which to base this deduction. 



This species is strongly characterized by its conspicuously multipunctate 

 leaves and especially by its 3-merous, rarely 4-merous, flowers, 3-merous 

 flowers being an aberrant character in this large genus.
