According to the collector’s labels, S. Maingayi is a shrubb 
creeper, 10-15 ft. long. It is an easily recognised plant by its 
glabrous, highly polished, trinerved leaves and by the numerous 
small lenticels often transversely split and siivock circular in 
outline. e leaf venation is obscure on the upper surface but 
fairly evident on the lower side. The fruit is about an in neh 
in diameter, according to the two fruiting Sher assigned 
to this species. One of these, pidenle 3 3393 (K.D. 1035), was 
included by Clarke under S. laurina, Wall., and is the specimen 
from which the fruits of S. Talay in the Flora of British India 
are described; King & Gamble have accepted Clarke’ i new 
cation. . There can bé little doubt, however, that M ngey 8 
Malacca specimen is quite distinct from S. Smcrias < vall., 
gathered in Tenasserim.
