A very interesting addition to our knowledge of a small but in- 

 teresting iS"atural Order, wbicb I leave in r?u'c/iocZafZ?/5, notwithstandin_ 

 the difference in the calyx and the depth of adhesion of the ovary, 

 which differences bring it very near to the Malayan genus Maivnaya, 

 I have not seen any fruit of T. grandlflorus. With a further know- 

 ledge of Malayan and perhaps South African members gf this Order, 

 a consolidation of some of the linear-petalled genera niay become 

 advisable.— D. Oliyke.
