species apparently Sante ‘allied to S. cinnamomifolia is found 
in the Andaman islands, but it is sufficiently distinct to be 
raised to Soper rank, and has been described under the name 
S. tubiflera, A. W. fit . There is also some evidence that

species shows some resemblance to S. aenea, A. W. Hill, from 
Travancore. The anthers, however, in the Ceylon plant are 
slightly bearded, and the resemblance between the two species 
may only be superficial. It has seemed desirable to refer to 
the Ceylon species of Strychnos in some detail since erroneous

found in Silhet. The am specimens, however, are imperfect 
and differ in having more abruptly acuminate leaves, but they 
are so similar to the type from S. India that they have ete 
described as a variety under the name acuminata, A. W.
