Hab. Tenasserim, Mergui, on the summit of the hillock Pator, at 

 600—800 ft. elevation (Griff.). 



Griffith's description is a very complete and good one, but still I cannot 

 guess the plant. The ovary-like style would indicate Anisoptera, but the 

 ovary itself is stated to be superior and free. 



MALVAGJE^. 



Conspectus of genera. 



A. Carpels zvliorled in a single row, not united into a capsule.

 branches as many as cells to the ovary. Mature carpels separating more or less 

 from the axis. 



* Ovules solitary, ascending. 

 X Stigmas linear. 



1. Alth^a. Bracteoles 6 — 9, united at base; fruit-axis not longer than the 



carpels. 



2. Malya. Bracteoles 3, distinct. Carpels not beaked. 



X >^ Stigmas capitate or chivate. 



3. Malvastetjm. Bracteoles 1 to 3, distinct, or none. Carpels usually beaked.
