Uvaria.] flora indica. 103 



There has been a good deal of confusion with respect to this species, partly caused 

 by Wallich's having mistaken it for U. lutea, Roxb. {Alphonsea luted), and partly 

 by Wight and Arnott having accidentally reversed the labels of this plant and U. 

 Ileyneana, Wall. {Orophea Heyneana), after comparing their collection with the 

 Wallichian Herbarium, or perhaps rather owing to the accidental shifting of the 

 labels of these two plants in Dr. Arnott's herbarium.

Hab. In penins. Malayana ad Penang, Phillips! — (v. s.) 



Frutex scandens. Hamuli graciles, glabri, cortice nigricante rngoso; gemmae 

 tomentosa?. Folia 4-6 poll, longa, l£-2£ lata, petiolo i-poll., tenuia, reticulato- 

 nervosa, pellucido-punctata. Pedunculi abbreviati, pluribracteati, 1-4-flon, brac-

 oblongam gerentes. Alabastri globosi. Sepala pubescentia, rotundata. 



Uvaria Hasseltii, Blume, Anon. 46. t. 21, is so closely allied to this, that we had 

 almost united them ; in that, however, the petioles are scarcely a line long, so that 

 for the present they must be kept distinct. U. Easseltii is known in fruit only. 

 The carpels are three and shortly pedicellate. 



Species dubia.
