There is only one expanded flower on the specimen before us : this we have not 

 examined, but, as a memorandum on the accompanying ticket informs us that the 

 ovules are solitary, we refer this plant without hesitation to Guatteria.

 longo-lanceolatis ovalibus vel ovatis interdum obovatis valide costatis, 

 pedunculis axillaribus decompositis multifloris, petalis anguste lineari-

 ramulos crassiores siti, abbreviati, validi, vix pollicares. Pedicelli filiformes, polli-

10. G. Simiarum (Ham. ex Wall. Cat. 6440 !) ; foliis ovalibus 

 vel ovatis valide costatis, pedicellis axillaribus 2-3 fasciculatis nudis, 

 petalis lineari-oblongis obtusis interioribus longioribus. 



Hab. In Silhet, Wall./ Assam inf., Ham J — (v. s. ex Hort. Calc.) 



Ardor, cortice cinereo glabro, gemmis pubescentibus. Folia G. fragrantis, sed 

 minora, utrinque glaberrima. Pedicelli graciles, pollicares, incano-puberuli. Petala 

 glabra, interiora pollicaria, exteriora \ breviora. 



G. lateriflora, Blume, is evidently closely allied to this species as well as to the 

 preceding. AH three seem to vary much in the size and shape of the leaves, but to 

 be readily distinguishable by the inflorescence, 



11. G. membranacea (Alph. DC. Mem. 41); foliis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis acuminatis nervo centrali superne velutino subtus piloso, 

 pedicellis axillaribus brevibus bractea ovata acuta stipatis, carpeilis 

 brevistipitatis paucis ovoideis velutinis. 



Hab. In prov. Tenasserim et Tavoy, Wall, ex A. DC. L c. 



We cannot identify this description with anything in Wall. Cat. from Tavoy, so 

 that probably the onh specimens of this species known are at Geneva.
