619. Phyllanthus diversifolius Mig. — C Tong Lan. east coast of the 

 gulf of Siam (Murton, n. 129; teste Oliver). 



620. Phyllanthus mirabilis Müll. Arg. — Spécimens in Herb. Kew. with 

 leaves only, which Schomburgk says he plucked olf a tree of Phyllanthus. A 

 note is attached to the sheet by Mr W. B. Hemsley, stating that the fragment 

 agrées with a drawing of a branch of Ph. mirabilis, also made by Schomburgk. 

 See also Index Kewensis, II, p. 510. 



621. Phyllanthus pulcher Müll. Arg. in Linnaea, XXXII, p. 49 (1863). 

 — Raised in Kew Gardens, 1861 (as « Reidia glaucescens»); from Siam. 



622. Breynia fruticosa Hook, f., Fl. ßrit. Ind. V, p. 331 (Dec. 1887). - 

 Anhin in Battambong (Schomburgk, n. 267). Hooker also records B. discigera 

 and B. reclinata as occurring in Siam. but, it seems, on insufficient évidence, 

 being based apparently on Finlayson's spécimens. From Finlayson's route-map, 

 it does not appear that he really collected in Siam, though attached to a Siamese 

 Mission. All Finlayson's spécimens included in Walliçh's herbarium (no loca- 

 lities given) must have been collected either in Burma or in Anam ; and the 

 name of «Siam» frequently attached to such spécimens in Herb. Kew. is incorrect. 



Subtri b. A ntidesmatoideœ. 



623. Aporosa lanceolata Hance, in Journ. Bot. 1879, p. 14: var. Murtoni 

 Williams. — Pecha Kuh, 20 miles inland from Chantabun (Murton, n. 86). 



A forma specieinormalinotuJissequenti bus di versa. Fol ia minus coriacea, distincte 

 punctulata. apice longe acuminata non autem caudata, nervis pluribusutrinque 6-8, 

 plerumque majora. Spicse pauciores, multum longiores tenuioresque. — Aporosa 

 lanceolata, at first known only from Ceylon, where it is common, is now 

 known also from South China. xMurton's spécimen does not exactly agree either 

 with the Cingalese or with the Chinese spécimens in Herb. Kew. From the 

 hard and crushed spikes, it is not possible to tell, even after prolongea 

 soaking, whether they differ in any essential character from those of the other 

 spécimens examined. As the gênerai habit of the spécimen available more 

 resembles Ulis than any other species of Aporosa, it is heiter to consider it only 

 as a variety. Following Mr. W. B. Hemsley, in bis Index Fl. Sinensis, Hance 

 is quoted as the authority for the species. Thwaites's description is so 

 indifferent as to be doubtful and obscure; and it is always better to disregard 

 priority, and to Substitute a later and certain citation instead of an earlier and 

 doubtful one, when it hinders rather than helps the identification of a plant. 



624. Baccaurea sapida Müll. Arg. — Pungah, 1893 (Curtis., n. 2940). 

 Bangkok (Schomburgk, n. HO). 



625. Hymenocardia Wallichii Tul. — Bangkok (Schomburgk, n. 227). 

 Hère as elsewhere the names included in Wallich's Nnmerical List of East 

 Indian Spécimens are not taken up, being manuscript «nomina nuda». 



626. Antidesma Moritzii Müll. Arg. — Ruins at Angkor, 1875 (Lebeuf).
