Tbe genus Barclay a has hitherto consisted of but one species, a native of Pegu and the 

 Tenasserim provinces, where it was discovered by Wallich, who has given an excellent 

 detailed description of it in the Linnean Transactions (vol. xv. p. Jill, t. xviii.), and which 

 has further been figured in the ' Icones Plantarum,' t. 809-]0. The present species is 

 very much larger than the original one, and difl'ers in its tomentose parts, very broad 

 leaves, fewer stamens, longer, narrower sepals and outer petals, more oblong seeds, and 

 other characters. I am indebted to the late lamented Mr. Motley for the excellent draw- 

 ings and dissections given here, which, together with a detailed description of the plant, 

 were the last botanical labours of that admirable observer and collector. Shortly after 

 their receipt at Kew, the news of his murder, and that of all his family, by the Mahom- 

 medan settlers in Southern Borneo, was received in England ; and I have therefore 

 replaced the name of rotimdifolia, which he had given to this species, by that of its ill- 

 starred discoverer.
