This seems s to come nearest 7’, philippinense 0. Kuntze (42. phi- 
lippinensis Clarke), with which, except for the flowers, it is remark- 
ably homoplastic. The flowers are, however, quite different. The 
points by which the new species can at once be told, not only from 
T. philippinense, but, in Te from all its iii congeners native to 
the Indian Archipelag
