Wailich. In a Mandiocca plantation, near Arroyas, Goyaz, 
Brazil, Gardner (n. 3897). 
I do not possess any oriental specimen of this plant: but 
Alph. De Candolle, who has in his herbarium specimens of that 
and of Gardner’s Brazilian plant, has not the smallest hesitation 
in considering them the same. “ Exemplum,” he adds, “ ra- 
rissimum speciei in Asia et —— simul crescentis, sed diver- 
sitatem minimam frustra quesivi.” The very panicled inflores- 
cence and the decidedly inflexed and almost connivent lobes of 
the fruit readily distinguish this species.
