This table appears to indicate— 
1. That the Balsamineae of Indo-China and the Malayan 
Peninsula conform, as regards the great preponderance of 
species with a simply pedicellate inflorescence ; this is 
also the case in Burma and the Malayan Archipelago. 
2. An absence of species having no bract at the base of the 
lowest pedicel of a peduncled inflorescence ; this is also 
the case in Burma and the Malayan Archipelago. 
3. The presence of species with four lateral sepals ; as 1s the 
case in Burma and China, but not in the Malayan 
Archipelago. 
4, The presence of a considerable number of species with 
coherent or connate distal lobes of the wings ; as in three 
of Burma and one each of China and the Malayan 
Archipelago.
