 Nota. Flores ignoti sunt, sed speeies mihi certissime ad Strophioblachiam pertinere videtur. 

 Str. celebica glabra dicitur, et calycis ciliae non glanduliferae describuntur.

Die Arten von Blachia gleichen sich habituell in hohem Grade, sind indes gut voneinander 

 zu unterscheiden, wie zuerst Benth am überzeugend nachgewiesen hat. Das Entwicklungs- 

 centrum liegt im Gebirgslande der Malabarküste, wo B. calycina, reflexa und denudata wachsen.
