 corolla? tubus gracilis, curvulus, extus dense furfuraceo-toraentosus, 

 limbus 4-fidus ; stamina 4, antherae oblongoe ; bacca? (adhuc inima- 

 tura) elongata?, lineari-cuneatee, circ. £ poll. longa?, tenuiter testaceo 

 v. ferrugineo-velutina3, basi supra bractea minuta annulato-margi- 

 nata?. — Frequent in Arracan, as in Koladyne District, especially 

 on Lagerstrcemia. 



A. Pyr. de Candolle appears to have made a curious mistake in 

 describing the linear club-shaped berries for a corolla, and in taking 

 the elongate seed for a club-shaped style and anthers. No wonder, 

 therefore, when he says : Anthera? forte 5, sed in floribus juniori- 

 bus (= baccis immaturis) obscura?, glutine viscoso inter se et cum 

 stigmate concreta?. He evidently mistook also the short space be- 

 tween the annular thickening at the base of the berries and the 

 bract for an ovary.
