Mons.  Cantobehs who is at present engaged in a study of the 
species of Vitis and allied genera and who has kindly collaborated 
with me in the description of this species, has supplied very copious 
notes on two allies of this plant. 
T. cruciatum differs from 7’, rupestre, Planch., in (1) its erg 
being equal and its leaflets more symmetric at the base ; (2) its 
sessile inflorescence ; (3) its corolla not all papillose ; (4) its large 
altese cross-shaped stigma ; and (5) its small acute calyx teeth. 
From 7. glabratum, Planch. , it is distinguished by (1) its larger 
iat with equal petiolules; (2) its more condensed and much 
arrower inflorescence ; (3) its shorter flower buds; (4) its corni- 
Galak petals ; (5) its large sessile stigma ; and (6) its short acute 
(not pes calyx teeth. 
Mon agnepain further remarks that #4 ETH possesses 
the lato stigma of the species examined by 
Tetrastigma lanceolarium, Planch, p.p. ie Shit Roxb.—
