Wangerin, in his monograph of the Alangiaceae in Engler’s 
Pflanze nreich, quotes Kurz, For. Fl. Burma, for the true Marlea 
» tomentosa, Endl. The desorption given by Kurz does not, however, 
agree with the Java specimens, ¢.g., in the size of the flower and in 
the indumentum of the under eieds of the leaf. On the other 
hand, Kurz’s description applies very well to the plant quoted above, 
which i is, in the writer’s opinion, the M. tomentosa, Kurz non Endl. 
t may be noted that no Burmese specimen is quoted as having 
been seen by Wangerin.

Belin pinea. The fungus has also been recorded in France, 
y: 
ring the early part of 1910 a consignment of diseased shoots 
of Pinus insignis and Pinus montana was received from the eastern 
forests of Cape Colony. An examination showed that in every case 
the disease was caused by the above-mentioned fungus. The 
shoots remain attached and furnish successive crops été Fiore of the
