Mr. Baker has made a slip in placing this plant (Fl. B. I. 1. c.) in the 

 section with isadelphous stamens. Trimen (Fl. Ceyl. 1. c.) has made a 

 similar mistake. The stamens are distinctly monadelphous, a fact 

 which Dalzell had noted- in his original description and Mr. Bentham in 

 .lourn. Linn. Soc. {I. c).
