Lohhii, Tevsm. and Binn. (Griff. 2985), is also very near to it, but really 

 distinct in my eyes. Pavetta Teysmanniana, Miq., and Pavetta inacro- 

 pliylla, Teysm. and Binn., are both the same and probably not specifically 

 different from Ixora congesta, Roxb. Ixora alba of the Botanical Garden at 

 Buitenzorg (not of Roxb.) appears to me to be the same as Korthals' Pa- 

 vetta calycina, and has exactly the calyx of I. calycina, Thw., but otherwise 

 the two species are entirely different. In order to avoid confusion, I sug- 

 gest that the Malayan species should be called Ixora Korthalsiana. Ixora 

 jucimda, Thw., and Pavetta WycJcii, Hassk., appear to me conspecific.

Var. a. GEisruiNA, corolla-lobes acute. 



Var. /8. ERTJBESCENS, (J. eruhescens, Wall. Cat. 6143 ; Miq. Fl. Ind. 

 Bat. II. 270), corolla-lobes blunt. 



Hab. Var. /?. frequent in the swamj^-forests and along swampy bor- 

 ders- of lakes, &c., from Pegu and Martaban down to Tenasserim. — Fl. 

 March — May. 



I do not think that varieties a. and p. can be retained as distinct 

 species ; both forms occur as well in Malaya as in Hindustan.

places and on muddy banks, from Martaban down to Tenasserim. — Fl. 

 Febr. ; Fr. April, May.
