Blume, in 1850, in Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. i. no. 20, p. 320, 
united Myzxopyrum and Chondrospermum and gave short descriptions 
of the three species M. nervosum, M. smilacifolium and M. coriaceum 
and suggested that M. coriaceum, Bl., a Bornean plant, might 
possibly be the same as Chondrospermum ? coriaceum, Wall., 
no. 2838. 
In the Flora of British India, C. B. Clarke adopts Blume’s 
genus, stating there are three species, but he unites both Chondro- 
spermum smilacifolium and C. coriaceum (Wallich’s 2837, 2838) 
under Myzxopyrum smilacifolium, Bl., and apparently leaves Blume’s 
M. coriaceum as a distinct species. 
In a bundle of specimens of Strychnos, recently received for name 
from Dr, Beccari, some examples of Myxopyrum from New Guinea 
and from the Kei Islands, were noticed, and owing to the difficulty 
of assigning them to an existing or to a new species, a general

Myzxopyrum smilacifolium of Blume. The leaves on one specimen are
