his species, which appears to be confined to the Malay 
Peninsula, has been identified in “Materials for a Flora of the 
Malayan Peninsula” as S. Tieuté, Lesch., and a Bornean plant 
collected by Beceari has also been ascribed to this same species. 
The latter plant had previously been described by Gilg as a new 
species under the name of S. Beccarii, Gilg in Notizbl. Kgl. Bot. 
Gart. Berlin, no. 8 (1897), p. 267, and it has also been referred to 
S. Tieuté, Lesch., by Dop in his recent contribution to the study of 
a Loganiaceae (Bull, Soc. Bot. Fr., ser. 4, x., 1910, mem. 19, 
p- 16). 
are conspecific, but in the present state of our knowledge, and also 
taking the geographical separation into consideration it seems 
better to treat them as distinct species 
e Ka 
his plant shows close affinity with S, Tieuté, S, Ignatii, and 
their allies. The leaves are elliptical, ae eres Gre 
any other species.
