This specimen is one of J. Correa de M6llo's PI. Bras., and 

 is his " Menispermacea?, No. 6, Folhas dc Abutua 

 grande ou Pareira Brava Grande." It was compared 

 with Aublet's specimen in British Museum, 17 June, 

 1873, by D. H., who adds in pencil, "same as 3860 

 Abuta, Rio de Janeiro, Coll. Glaziou, in Herb. Kew. 

 Doubtfully referred to Abuta rufescens, Aubl. in Herb. 

 Burchell at Kew, but seems to me the same species. 

 14 June, 1873."
