Tupidanthus calyptratus (partly after Hooker). n. 2701 
This tree seems to grow.as underwood and ipia its weak stem 
by leaning against other trees, as many other Hederacee do, a habit 
which the founders of the genus expressed by “Arbor alte scandens." 
Dr. Carl Koch, mistaking ** scandens” for ** cirrhosus” (** rankend ” is 
his exact translation), has endeavoured to make a second species (T. 
ückleri), which he says differs from T. calyptratus by not being - 
cirrhose. Of course T. Pückleri must fall to the ground. The Kew 
plant, from which the figure in Bot. Mag. t. 4908 was made, is now 
24 feet high, and erect, in growth very much the same as all the other 
garden plants of this species are.
