The specimens quoted above agree with the specimen of Cluytia stipularis L. 
in the Linnean Herbarium. Bridelia scandens Willd., Cluytia scandens Roxb. 
have usually been given as synonyms of B. stipularis, but B. scandens is a dis_ 
tinct species as Gehrmann points out, differing from B. stipularis in the absence 
of bristles from the female disk and in having smaller fruits. 
2. BrIDELIA TOMENTOSA, Bl. Bijd. 597 (1825). A shrub or 
small tree, with closely arranged leaves, minute monoecious flowers 
in small sessile or subsessile axillary clusters, and pisiform frults. 
Twigs terete, 1—2 mm. thick, + — rusty-pubescent and lenticellate ; 
internodes -5—1 cm. long. Lamine lanceolate, with acute or sub- 
acuminate apex, rounded or subcuneate or cuneate base and sub- 
undulate margin, subcoriaceous, 2°5—11 cm. long, -1—4°5 cm. 
broad; upper surface dark brown, glabrous or sparsely rusty- pubes- 
cent on midrib and nerves: lower surface paler brown, glaucous or 
subglaucous, + —rusty-pubescent and with prominent midrib and 
nerves ; nerves 8—12; petiole slender, subterete, rusty-pubescent 
or glabrescent, 3—4 mm. long; stipules narrowly subfalcately lan- 
ceolate acuminate, 3 mm. long, 1 mm. broad, rusty pubescent. 
Flower clusters subglobose, 3—5 mm. in diam., with 10—30 flowers 
3s only or 2 only or mixed, imbedded in but not suffulted by nu- 
merous minute membranous rusty-pubescent bracteoles. ¢ flowers 
in bud subglobose, about 1 mm. in diam., expanding to 3mm., very 
shortly pedicelled, glabrous; calyx divided almost to base into 5 
subequal broadly lanceolate or oblong-ovate sepals ; petals less than 
half the size of sepals, attached below the outer edge of disk, sub- 
sessile, subflabelliform or subcuneate, sometimes biauriculate ; disk 
circular pulvinate; stamens scarcely equalling the sepals. 9 
flowers slightly larger than the 3, ovoid in bud, subsessile; calyx 
as in the ¢; petals minute, subsessile, obovate, subcrenulated 
disk glabrous, with subvertical membranous laciniately-margined 
annulus ; ovary ovoid, compressed, less than 1 mm. long, glabrous ; 
styles free to the base, terete, half as long as the ovary, shortly 
bifid; stigmas recurved, slightly irregularly thickened. Fruit 
globosely ovoid, smooth, glabrous, bluish-black, 4—5 mm. in diam.
