This species is closely allied to M. nervosum, Bl., but differs in its 
smaller, more delicate and triplinerved leaves and in the larger flowers 
with longer corolla lobes and larger anthers.

A species easily distinguished from M. smilacifolium, under which 
it was formerly placed, by its 5-nerved, ovate-cordate leaves, though 
the small smooth fruits resemble those of M. smilacifolium. It 
comes nearest perhaps to M. ovatum, A. W. Hill, but can_be 
easily separated from that species by the character of the leaf 
venation. 
9. Myxopyrum coriaceum, Blume, in Mus. Bot. Ludg.-Bat. no. 20,

5-2 mm. longus, glaber, vel parce pilosus, segmentibus triangulari- 
ovatis acutis plus minusve 1 mm. longis. Corolla ignota. Ovarium

This specimen was examined by Mr. Boodle who found that its 
anatomical structure shews considerable agreement with that of 
M. smilacifolium, Bl. (Cachar Keenan’s Coll.), but differs in several 
details. It is probably a different species of (or near) the same 
enus. 
es ar reat belongs to an undescribed species, and on 
account of its distinct character it is proposed to call it M um
