iials that lie is acquainted with a second triandrous species, represented by a part of 

 Wallich's \o. 4952, evidently a misprint for 4959, as the former of these numbers 

 is not a Menispermaceous plant. 



2. L. oblonga (Miers in Taylor's Annals, ser. 2. vii. 43); caule 

 fulyo-pubescente, foliis oblongis vel lanceolatis utrinque glabris, pani-

 brevioribus.— Coccuhis oblongus, Wall. Cat. 4963 !

 Sepala exteriora minuta, interiora crassa, extus tomentosa, late ovalia, apiculo in- 

 flexo, sestivatione subvalvata. 



The specimen of L. scandens, Lour., at the British Museum, has the leaves of this 

 species, but the inflorescence is more like that of the next species, the male panicles 

 beiufr feu-flowered, and the peduncles, from which the drupes have fallen, solitary. 

 It may, however, prove to be an abnormal state of L. oblonga. 



3. L. velutina (Miers in Taylor's Annals, ser. 2. vii. 43); caule
