Hab. Hills of Chittagong (Roxburgli). — Fl. March — July. 



I have found another small-leaved glabrous unarmed shrub in the 

 swamp-forests of Pegu apparently belonging to this genus, but unfortu- 

 nately without flower or fruit. In habit it somewhat resembles P. jparvi- 

 flora, Bth. and Hf. — Gardenia par vifolia, Wall. Cat. 8256 from Tavoy, of 

 the habit of DamnacantJms, is sterile and, therefore, indeterminable.

Var. p. MACEOCAEPUM, leaves larger and of thinner texture ; drupes

Var. p. may be distinct, but the species of Poli/pliragmon belonging 

 to the immediate affinity of F.flavescens are difficult to understand.
