Tliis is an exceedingly distinct species, more nearly approaching B. Finlay- 

 soniana than any of the other Peninsular species, but amply distinct in the shape 

 and colour of its flowers, the smaller size of its pods, the pubescence on its leaves 

 beneath ; also in the shape of the leaves and the type of nervation. Beccari n. 

 835, from Borneo, of which however there are only 2 leaves and one flower at 

 Calcutta, appears to be the same. 



18. Badhinia Finlaysoniana Grrah. in W;ill. Cat. 5801. A large 

 climber, over 100 feet long, branches slender glabrous, tendrils few 

 circinate glabrous. Leaves slightly cordate at base, oblong, narrowed 

 rather suddenly from above the middle to an obtuse or e margin ate or 

 acute point; about twice as long as broad, 3-5 in. long, 1-5-2-5 in. 

 across, rigidly coriaceous, medium-green, glabrous on both surfaces, 5- 

 (rarely 3-) nerved ; petiole '3-4 in. long, glabrous. Flowers in rather 

 lax, terminal corymbs 3-4 in. long, 2-3 in. across ; pedicels closely rusty- 

 pubescent, erecto-patent, the lowest 1 in. long; bracts lanceolate, "15 in. 

 long, deciduous; buds clove-shaped, the subcyliudric base rather shorter 

 than the ovoid-acute upper portion. Calyx densely rusty-tomentose, 

 limb splitting into subequal ovate-acute lobes "25 in. long, *2 in. across ; 

 tube subcyliudric, *2 in long. Petals subequal, creamy-white or pale 

 yellow, orbicular, distinctly clawed, "6 in. long, # 5 in. across, externally 

 rusty-pubescent. Stamens 3 fertile, anthers shortly oblong. Ovary 

 densely pubescent along sutures and on the distinct stalk, style short 

 (■15 in.), glabrous, stigma large peltate. Pod (not quite ripe) linear- 

 oblong, woody, 2 in. long, *6 in. wide. Seeds 4-6. Bak. in Flor. Brit.

Mr. Bentham describes this as having almost glabrous petals; this is not the 

 case in the Peninsular specimens. Both Mr. Bentham and Dr. Miquel doubt 

 whether it be more than a form of B. lucida ; it is, however, extremely distinct from 

 that species and is much more nearly related to B. Kockiana Korth. (Verh. Nat. 

 Gcschied. 87, t. 10), which differs mainly in usually having 3-nerved leaves and in 

 always having rather longer pedicels and a much longer calyx-tube. Dr. Finlayson's
