* The section Notaphabe is near Ocotea from which it differs in having entirely 
different fruit. It differs from Hlaasia in having 4-celled anthers. ‘The present plant has 9 
stamens, of which those of the third order have two lower larger extrorse cells and two upper 
smaller introrse cells. It is, therefore, rather doubtful whether this should be referred to Per- 
seacee. The staminodes of the fourth order are very small and subulate, the segments of the 
perianth are rather thin, and the plant does not look like a species of the Machilus-allies.
