862 ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS, VOL. V. 



5-7 in. broad and usually large, elliptic or obovate with few (8-10) strong arched 

 nerves beneath. Meissuer (in DC. 1. c.) refers to this species a very much smaller- 

 leaved plant of Lobb's from Moulmein. The identification of any of these with the 

 Javanese M. rimosa, the fruit of which is undescribed, is mere guess-work. 

 Meissner's rimosa from Moulmein, Lobb, is probably M.fruticosa. Javan specimens 

 in Herb. Hook, are named M. Madang and M. odoratissima e. latifolia by Miquel, 

 who unites rimosa with odoratissima. 



M. PUBESCENS, BlumeMus. Bot. i. 330; Heissn. in DC. Prodr. xv. i. 40. This 

 is unrecognizable by description. 



M. sp. ?, Penaug, Curtis, No. 942, is a small plant with glabrous young leaves, 

 the old leaves 3-4 in. elliptic-lanceolate above finely reticulate beneath glaucous, 

 nerves 10-12 pairs very slender, petiole very slender, panicle slender nearly glabi'ous, 

 few-fld., flowers & in. diam., sepals short nearly glabrous as are the filaments.

A tree; branches slender. Leaves elliptic-oblong, acute. Flowers small, her- 

 maphrodite, in slender axillary few-fld. racemes or panicles. Perianth very short, 

 lobes 6 orbicular. Stamens 6, exserted, eglandular ; anthers thick, sessile, sub- 

 quadrate, 2-celled, tomentose, cells opening by minute pores; staminodes very short, 

 thick, tomentose, opposite the stamens. Ovary ovoid, sessile, quite smooth, narrowed 

 into a very short style ; stigma minute.

 volume. 



PENANG ; close to the Chalet, elev. 500 ft., Curtis. 



Branches and racemes puberulous. Leaves 3-5 by l|-2 in., young 1 membranous, 

 old coriaceous, beautifully reticulate, petiole J-f in. Racemes 1-1| in. long ; flowers 

 globose, about ^ in. broad. 



P. 182. In remarks under LINDEEA, after the word Indian erase 2-celled, and 

 insert after plants with 2-celled anthers. 



P. 185. Under L. melastomacea insert the following habitats : BHOTAN, 

 Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4319). KHASIA MTS., alt. 3-4000 ft. MUNNIPOEE, 

 alt. 4000 ft., Watt. 



P. 189. In the note respecting the genus near Etidiandra for Hexapora read 

 MICEOPOEA, and/or three anthers read six anthers. 



P. 193. D. CANNABINA. Madden describes two forms, a white and a purple- 

 flowered, in the Western Himalaya, inhabiting different elevations. 



P. 199. To habitats of Gyrinops Walla, add Tinnevelly Ghats, Seddome. 



P. 237. BALASOPHOEA INDICA. In a paper on this genus by W. C. Fawcett, 

 F.L.S., in the Linnean Transactions, Ser. 2, ii. 233, that author points out that 

 Wallich's B. typhina includes 23. indica, Wall., and B. polyandra, Griff.; also 

 that B. gig ante a, Wall., differs from JB. indica in the rhizome having no pustules, 

 but being tessellated rather than warted ; it may, however, he observes, be a variety 

 of indica. 



P. 238. B. THWAITESII. Dr. Trimen, in Journ. Linn. Soc. xxii. 330, inclines 

 to regard this as a well-marked var. of J5. indica. Its chief characters which he 

 gives are, its large size, bright yellow colour, larger stellate pustules, its longer 

 prominent crenate flower bracts in the male, ovoid or pyriform exserted fern, heads 

 :md shortly stalked fern. fl. inserted on the pedicels and very rarely attached to 

 the bases of the spadiccls.
