A species previously confused with Euonymus tiriiorensis Zipp., which is liow- 

 ever a .synonym of Euonymus javanicus Blume. Most closely allied to E. allciiiid- 

 tiis Wall., of British India and to E. gibber Hance, of Hongkong, differing from 

 the former in its shorter cymes, bracts and bracteoles and in the shape of its 

 leaves, and from the latter in its longer leaves and cymes, the leaves of Hance's 

 species being rounded and retuse at the apex. Lawson - admits Euonymus timo- 

 rensis Zipp., as a distinct species, giving its range as from Tenasserim or the 

 Andaman Islands to Pegu, Timor, and tlie Philippines, the Philippine distribution 

 being luidoubtedly based on Cuming's number cited above. The Andaman Island 

 "]'eference is probably erroneous, as King" does not admit the species in his 

 "Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula." Not having seen the other 

 specimens examined by Lawson, I am unable to state whether or not they are 

 identical with the Philippine plant, but it seems probable that they represent a 

 different species, or that the Indian specimens are really the same as Euonymus 

 ultenualus Wall.
