Leucothoe Griffithiana, Clarke. Descrip. amplif. W. W. Sm. 
This species was described in the Flora of British India, ii! 
(1882) 460, from fruiting material collected by Griffith in Bhutan. 
The flowers have remained unknown until Forrest collected in 
Yunnan under No. 15944 a plant which I am unable to separate 
from the Bhutan species. Old capsules with the seed shed aré 
included in this collection; they agree with Griffith’s plant. I 
add a description of the flower :— 
ractea circ. 3 mm. longa ovata subacuta textura carnosula 
multo involuta atque pedicellum amplectans eumque fere aequans, 
bracteolas celans. Bracteolae duae sub medio pedicello positae 
oppositae circ. 1 mm. longae acutiusculae subcucullatae. Calycis 
lobi circ. 2 mm. longi carnosuli subacuti ad quartam partem basi 
coaliti. Corolla suburceolata s-6 mm. longa, 4 mm. lata, ad 
quadrantem in lobos ovatos fissa glabra. Stamina to filamentis
