communicated by Miquel to the British Museum agree with Mr. Kurz's, which have 

 the calyx-tube not furrowed, and do not materially differ from A. Lamarckii, but the 

 examples of A. sundanum at Kew have the calyx-tube (even in the bud) deeply 

 grooved and appear a distinct species. 



VAR. glandulosum, Thwaites Enum. 133 (sp.) ; young parts ruddy-furfuraceous, 

 leaves ovate or oblong rostrate-acuminate, beneath with most minute shining glands 

 and with glandular pores at the axils of the primary nerves, flowers glandular 

 sparingly hairy, pedicels and calyces furfuraceous with red glands. Ceylon, Central 

 Province, alt. 2000-4000 ft. ; Thwaites. According to Mr. Thwaites a closely allied 

 but distinct species. The peduncles, calyx-tube, and petals are much less woolly 

 than in A. Lamarckii; these and the tender surfaces of the leaves are not (in 

 Thwaites' No. 381) glandular, but covered with most minute glistening hairs, giving 

 under a common lens a glandular appearance. A. glandulosum thus has much shorter 

 hairs than the ordinary forms of A. Lamarckii, while some examples of A. Lamarckii 

 have the under surface of the leaves glabrous or very nearly so.

Trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate, petioled, orbicular or oblong from an 

 oblique base. Flowers in axillary contracted cymes, white, jointed on the 

 pedicel, hermaphrodite. Calyx-tube adnate to the ovary, limb toothed or trun- 

 cate. Petals 4-8, linear, free or slightly cohering at the base, valvate. Stamens 

 4-8, filaments attached to the petals slightly at the base and there usually 

 hairy ; anthers linear. Ovary 1-3-celled or 1-celled at the apex 2-3-celled at 

 the base, crowned by a disc ; style long, often thicker upwards and pubescent, 

 stigma simple or lobes 4 linear or sub-clavate ; ovule solitary in each com- 

 plete or incomplete cell. Merry 1-2-celled, 1-2-seeded. Seed (in M. begonice- 

 folia and ebenacea) oblong, compressed ; cotyledons orbicular, thin, leafy ; 

 radicle short DISTRIB. Species 8; India, to Japan, Malaya, Australia, and
