384 Additions and Corrections to Parts I.— V. 



ashy, obscurely puberulous, midrib slender, veins very many, 

 spreading, close-set, reticulate interspaces ; racemes axillary 

 and terminal, 2-4 in. long, erect, lax.-fld. ; fl. subsecund, nodding, 

 pedicels \-\ in. long, buds (near expansion) \ in. long, ovoid y 

 cal.-tube short, lobes ovate, obtuse ; petals orbicular, thick ; stam. 

 25, fil. very short, united at the very base, anth. linear, rather 

 broader downwards, connective terminating in a subulate point 

 half as long as the cells ; ov. hemispheric, rough, style very 

 slender, flexuous ; very young, fr. globose, roughly minutely 

 tubercled, seated in the rather unequal spreading cal. -lobes. 



Hunawal Kande, near Pelmadulla (F. C. Lewis, January, 1893). 



From the above description it is evident that, if this species is to be 

 retained in the genus Stemoiioftorus, the generic character of the 

 latter must be modified to include a plant with a long subulate 

 process terminating the anther. 



15. Stemonoporus (?) revolutus, Trimen mss. 

 Branches very robust, covered with iron-grey bark ; 1. crowded, im- 

 bricating towards the ends of the branchlets, \-i in. long by 1-1^ 

 * in. broad, obovate or obovate-oblong, tip rounded, emarginate 

 or retuse, base rounded, rigidly coriaceous, sides revolute when dry, 

 quite entire, smooth above with obscure midrib and veins, beneath 

 pale, with a prominent midrib, and 7-10 pairs of spreading, arched, 

 slender veins, venules minutely reticulate, petiole \-\ in. long, stout ; 

 stipules o. 

 Kukule Korale, at about 3000 ft elevation (F. C. Lewis, January, 1893). 

 The specimens having neither fl. nor fr, the genus is doubtful.

 G. polygama; the latter has the leaves pubescent, the former glabrous.
