Wallich’s species No. 795 (inter multas pulchras pulcherrima) was issued as Auschynanthus longiflora, and has been re= 
peatedly quoted in print under that name but never described. In the meanwhile the name Aischynanthus longiflora has been fixed by 
publication with sufficient descriptions to a very different Javan species. 
I have therefore invented a new name for the Wallichian No. 795.
