Wallich's specimens in HBC. are in fruit, and, therefore, it is very 

 improbable that the flowers (which appear during H. S.) should belong to 

 the same specimens in Kew Herb, referred to P. hifaria. 



7. P. ? DUBIA, Kurz in And. Rep. 2nd ed. 29 (P. macroplyUa, Hf. 

 and Th. Ind. Fl. I. QQ, excl. syn.) var. a glabeiuscula, petals broader, 

 leaves and branchlets glabrescent, var. /5. Falconeei, branchlets and leaves 

 beneath pubescent, petals less imbricate in bud. 



Hab. Var. a. Frequent in the tropical forests on the Andamans ; var. 

 j8. Moulmein (Falc. 545). Fl. May, June. 



I have only male flowers, and the imbrication of the petals (especially 

 in the Andaman plant) indicates a different genus. Hf. and Th. identify 

 the plant with Blume's GuaUeria macroj^liylla (=: Trivalvaria macropJiyUa, 

 Miq., GuaUeria hi-evipetala^ Miq.) which resembles especially the Andaman 

 plant so much that I confounded it with it in my Andaman Report. This 

 has, however, the inner petals thick and fleshy, narrowed at base and the 

 broad triangular blades (see Bl. Fl. Jav. Anon. t. 52. B, f, 2,) connivent 

 somewhat after the fashion of 3IifrepJiora. 



Doubtful species, 

 1. P. cosTATA, Hf. and Th. Ind. Fl. I. 67. 

 Hab. Tenasserim, along the Attaran river (Wall.) 

 Hf. and Th. refer this to the genus Tiivalvaria, Miq.
