REMARKS UPON M. VESQUE’S NEW SPECIES. 153 
species these wings quite straight, and judging from the description 
there is nothing to definitely distinguish it from D. alatus, Roxb., 
which oon eastward to Siam 
7. D. stellatus, Vesque, takes precedence of D. nobilis, Dyer. 
ee. wats, esque, is certainly identical with D. Lovwit, 
00 ow’s specimens are in the Kew Herbarium. e 
general habit of the plant, together with the peculiar character of the 
wings of the calyx-tube, leave no room for hesitation. . Vesque has” 
overlooked the fact that, as in D. lamellatus, the angles of the calyx- 
tube are furnished each with two wings, so that there are ten in all. I 
am disposed to think that 'D. validus, Blume, founded apparently upon 
the foliage of barren ahsotaes is the same species and therefore takes 
panes of the names given by both Dr. Hooker and M. 
Sque 
- D. Beccarianus, Vesque, is the plant subsequently described by 
me as D. Bee eceartt, var. glabrata. Having regard to the range of 
hative fone, I cannot regard D. Beecarianus as more than bly 
ed to be distinguished as a variety from D. globosus 
plant with D. Baudii, Korthals. In the “Flora of British India” 
(i. 296) I have characterised the species very briefly, and I find that, 
cither through a printer’s error or n, the dimensions are not 
ra 
Indian one, but for the sake of co mparison with the descriptions given 
M. Vesque and Korthals, I have drawn up one founded exclusively 
upon Indian specimens.
