Doi Sutep, 1670 mm., evergreen jungle, Kerr 3237—tree 
c. 30 m. high. 
Described originally from fruiting material (Kachin, King’s 
Collector !) this species was treated as incompletely known in 
Wangerin’s monograph (in Engler Pflanzenr.). Kerr’s material 
shows that M. ewonymoides belongs to the subgenus T'etramastixia. 
In this group M. rostrata Blume alone has strictly opposite leaves 
and a truncate calyx. MM. rostrata (Java, Koorders 2309a! 
25634 6!) can be readily distinguished by the markedly caudate- 
acuminate leaves. 
Brandis in Indian Forester, 1907, p. 57, t. 7, refers a plant 
collected in British Bhutan by Haines (No. 916!) to M. ewonym- 
oides. This plant has a lobed calyx, 5-merous flowers (ex 
Haines’ description), and moreover has alternate leaves whereas 
M. euonymoides has a truncate calyx, 4-merous flowers, and 
strictly opposite leaves. 
Paederia linearis, Hook. f., Fl. Brit. Ind., III., p. 197. 
Petchaburi, 50 m., Marcan 521, 640. 
The type material of this species (Tenasserim, Griffith, K.D., 
2911 !) was not sufficiently complete to determine the relationship 
of the plant. Sir Joseph Hooker placed P. linearis provisionally 
near P. tomentosa. Marcan’s specimens have mature fruit and 
show that the affinities of the species are with ghe first group 
not with the second as arranged in the Flora of British India. 
The fruit is compressed, broadly elliptic about 7 mm. long and 
5 mm. broad; the pyrenes are black, with a distinct straw- 
coloured wing.
