brooke and also by Wallich in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. p. 266. 
Some doubt has arisen as to this species and Bape ain ahs S. 
aaneperee since both plants were found by M. R. Smith, indi- 
genous on the hills near Silhet, and Smith’s satin assigned 
to S. colubrina by Roxburgh cannot be found in any herbarium. 
Hooker & Thomson and also Prazer collected a second Strychnos 
near Silhet, which is apparently Smith’s lost plant 
that 
Smith recognised he had found two distinct ‘plants near 
Silhet, as his abel on S. axillaris bears the MS. name S. Harku- 
chila, and the remark “‘ diff. a St. colubrina,’’ the reference 
being no doubt to his Silhet plant described under that name in 
the Flora Indica. by Roxburgh. 
Colebrooke’s figure is a very “good one, and shows the fruit as a 
small berry about the size of an olive with a solitary seed. The 
plant turns black or dark-brown on drying as do certain other 
species in this section of the genu 
S. axillaris is quite distinct a S. ie Lesch. from Java, 
with which Colebrooke suggests a compariso

assert that it is closely related.
