Resembles very much JZ. ¢¢morensis Decsne, the inflorescence of 
which is nearly identical, but the leaves are attenuate at the base in 
t. timorenszs, and the petiole isabout 1 cm. long. Our plant must 
be also closely related to 7. yaouhensis Schlechter, which differs, 
however, if we follow the description, in having smaller leaves, a 
campanulate calyx of 0.25 cm. in length (author says 2.5 cm. long, 
which may be a misprint for 0.25), acute petals and a longer style. 
This last difference may be due to the fact that the flowers of our 
specimens were younger.

I have not seen the original number quoted by Vieillard, but the 
description agrees exactly and our plant is identical with Balaxsa 
no. 3410 which bears in the Paris herbarium the name Charpen- 
tiera bracteata. As the description was very incomplete and not 
easily accessible I have here inserted a new one. Vieillard placed 
this plant in the Loganzaceae and it was a puzzle until Schumann 
transferred the genus to the 2udzaceae; but I think he was wron 
in identifying it with Pavetfa because it has the characteristic 
deeply bilobed stigma of Lxora.
