Tavoy in Tenasserim ; Griffith, Aplin. 



A very distinct species only once collected within recent years, by 

 Mr. Aplin. There is, however, in the Kew Herbarium a twig of it col- 

 lected by Grifiith many years ago bearing this note in Griffith's hand- 

 writing " Tiliacearnin gen. nov. capsulis pluri-alatis." Although this 

 plant has hitherto been found only in territoiy which is politically 

 Burmese, yet Tavoy (being at the southern extremity of Tenasserim) is 

 practically Malaj^an in its Flora and Fauna. I therefore include it 

 here.
