The above description rests upon excellent specimens presented by 

 Governor Creagh. Mr. Motley's specimens I believe to be identical. 

 The leaves of the latter are irregularly and darkly blotched on the 

 under surface. Those of Carallia celtbica, Eluuje, with which Mr. 

 Bentham identified Mr. Motley's spcjimens in his ' Synopsis of Legno- 

 tidese ' (Joitrn, Linn. Sot\ iii. 75), are pretty uniformly black-punctate. 

 His identification, now that we possess the type, unknown to Mr. 

 Bentham, I cannot coincide in on other grounds. Blume's C. midtijlora^ 

 moreover, from Borneo, if rightly represented by a garden specimen 

 determined by Miquel, is a different plant from the present. The 

 cymes in C. borneensis all arise from the axils of the uppermost pair of 

 leaA'es only, and so are quasi-terminal.— D, Oliver.
