Tasan : Fruit greenish red. Distrib. Celebes. 



The specimen being in fruit unfortunately adds little 

 to our knowledge of this plant of which flowers are not 

 known. It may perhaps be a lobed form of T. palmata.

324. Smilax leucophylla var. latifolia. 



Tapli : Fruit green ; cUmber ; 6751. Distrib. Tenas- 

 serim (Heifer) ; Perak (Kunstler). A. de CandoUe quoted 

 his Tenasserim plant as 5. Blumei, a totally different species. 

 It is very distinct from the ordinary forms of Smilax 

 leucophylla, and is probably specifically distinct, but at pre- 

 sent we have only fruiting specimens. It is a stout woody 

 climber with few scattered short thorns. Leaves coriaceous, 

 ovate sub-apiculate base broad edge thickened, glaucous 

 beneath, 8 in. long, 6 in. wide. Peduncle in fruit, 3 in. long ; 

 pedicels 1 in. Fruit globose. 



325. Peliosanthes hypogyna, sp. nou. 



Tufted plant with a mass of thick roots at base. Leaf, 

 petiole 7 in. tall, angled, blade elliptic-lanceolate, 8 in. long, 

 2-75 in. wide ; nerves conspicuous about 10. Racemes 

 5 in. long. Flowers pale greenish white, solitary in the 

 bracts, -2 in. wide. Bracts linear acuminate, lowest ones 

 % in. long shortening upwards. Pedicel -1 in. long. 

 Perianth lobes ovate-lanceolate, blunt. Staminal ring 

 adnate almost entirely to the tube and to the ovary, slightly 

 notched between the anthers. Ovary completely inferior. 

 Style shorter than stamens. Seed globose, pear-shaped.
