the sepals. Pod 4-10 in. by l-2 in., like that of a MUlettia, 4-8-seeded. Seeds 

 oblong, compressed, l in. long. 



2. S. cauliflora, Baker: leaflets 10-12, petiolules long, bracteoles 0, 

 corymbs dense from thick old branches, sepals half as long as the calyx-tube, 

 stamens about 7. 



MALACCA, Griffith, Maingay. 



Petiolules in. long ; leaflets rigidly subeoriaceous, strongly veined ; upper 

 oblanceolate-oblong, acute, a foot or more long; lower shorter, more oblong. 

 Corymbs solitary or geminate, nearly sessile, ample, dense, 4-6 in. broad ; main 

 branches stout, woody ; pedicels of lower flowers disarticulated at the base before the 

 upper expand ; bracteoles none to be seen in the specimens. Flowers the same size 

 as in the last, but the tube and pedicels more slender. Closely approaches the 

 Malayan S. declinata, Miquel, in habit, foliage and inflorescence, but that has only 4 

 stamens. 



3. S. Lobbiana, Baker; leaflets 10-12, petiolules short, bracteoles 

 large caducous, corymbs sparse from young slender branches, sepals half as long 

 as the calyx-tube, stamens 7-8. 



MARTABAN ; foot of Mount Kola, Moulmein, Lobb. 



A tree 40 feet high. Petiolules \ in. ; leaflets thinner than in the two last, 

 oblanceolate-oblong, subacute, ^1 ft. long. Corymbs solitary from leafless slender 

 branches, with only a few erecto-patent branches ; bracteoles f-^ in., oblong-spathu- 

 late, navicular, amplexicaul, falling before the flowers expand. " Sepals oblong, in. 

 deep. Stamens twice as long as the sepals. Flowers yellow, turning to reddish. 



4. S. triandra, Baker-, leaflets 4-8, petiolules short, bracteoles spreading 

 persistent, stamens 3-4. Jonesia triandra, Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii. 220. J. scandens, 

 Roxb. loc. cit. ? 



TENASSEEIM, MALACCA. DISTRIB. Siam, Sumatra. 



Petiolules ^ in. ; leaflets oblanceolate-oblong, subeoriaceous, subobtuse or sub- 

 acute ; upper ^-1 ft. long. Corymbs sessile from the side of slender branches, round, 

 very dense, sometimes 6-8 in. broad ; bracts persistent, spreading or reflexed ; brac- 

 teoles obovate, under ^ in. long, not boat-shaped or amplexicaul, bright-coloured. 

 Sepals under in. long. Filaments 3-4 times as long as the sepals. Pod oblong, 

 5-6 in. by 1^-2 in. Very near the Malay S. macroptera and palembanica, Miquel. 



110. AIVIKEZISTIA, Wall. 



An erect tree. Leaves abruptly pinnate. Flowers racemed. Calyx with a 

 long cylindrical disciferous tube; sepals 4, oblong, the two lowest connate. 

 Petals only 3 developed, the upper very broad, with a long claw, the two lateral 

 as long, but narrower, oblong-spathulate, the two lowest rudimentary. Stamens 

 diadelphous, 9 lower having the filaments connate in a long tube, alternately 

 larger and smaller, the upper free from the base ; anthers versatile, dehiscing 

 longitudinally. Ovary stalked beyond the disk, many-ovuled ; style long, 

 filiform, stigma capitate. Pod large, flat, almost woody, dehiscent. Seeds 

 large, round-oblong, compressed, exalbummous. DISTRIB. A single endemic 

 species.
