The genus Memecylon is in need of a thorough revision. The species are 

 extremely difficult of correct identification without access to the very au- 

 thentic specimens for the most part deposited in European herbaria and 

 hence inaccessible to the Indian botanist. Triana's account of the genus is 

 barely more than a compilation. I have, therefore, kept the Burmese forms 

 all separate pending a comparison and identification of the same with 

 those already described.
