as ‘lignum colubrinum 
It is very unfortunate that S. micrantha is not represented by 
fruits in our herbaria. The fruiting specimens assigned to it 
have been found to belong to S. lenticellata, A. W. Hill. On 
a sheets of Thwaites 3720 and 3540 at Kew, ‘portions of fruiting 
imens have heen sieched which are identical with Thwaites 
1866 excluded by from §. micrantha. These and no. 
agree so closely vith S. lenticellata, from S.E, India that they 
have been referred to that species. Specimens in the Wal ichian 
herbarium under the label “‘ Ceylon 96 & Palamcottah 95” 
collected by Rottler in 1795 & 1796 have also been referred to 
S. lenticellata.
