{1x04 em. in AL sarmentosa), number of secondary nerves 
(9-10 in AL sarmentosa), length of inflorescence (much shorter 
than the leaves of AZ sarmentosa) and in the size of the flowers 
which are sensibly smaller here. We compared it too with JZ. 
sarmentosa DC. non Aublet (= MZ. glabresceus Bartl.), but the 
Candollean plant has wide elliptic leaves (10.5 xX 6.5 cm.) and the 
flower buds are thicker and covered with a dense canescent tomen- 
tum, so that the difference between the two plants is very well 
marked. 
This species differs from all Brazilian ones by its quite glabrous 
leaves.

Gynopachys corymbosa Bl. Cat. Gew. Buitenzorg, 48. 
In spite of what Mrs. Koorders and Valeton say (in Bijdr. 
Booms. Java 8: 83 in Mededeel’s L. Plant. 59) this is much 
different from the type of Axomanthodia auriculata, so that their 
synonymy seems rather doubtfu 
The species quoted first, the type of which we had the opportu- 
nity to study, resembles more closely Randia densiflora, which is 
considered as a distinct species, than Axomanthodia auriculata.
