M. Blume’s ‘Bijdragen.’? Of these the two species in Herb. 
Hook. are very much larger plants than this, with scattered, 
broader leaves, but the structure of the flowers is the same in all. 
Mr. Low’s specimens of D. ciliolata are not in fruit, and hence 
0 
however, so unimportant a character in Gau/theria (some New 
Jand species of which have fleshy baccate calyces and unaltered 
calyces on the same raceme of ripe fruit), that this alone would 
not afford a sufficient character for oe eas the present plant 
from Blume’s genus of Diplycosia. J.D.H.
