V. moniliforme, Wight. Articles all in one plain and complanate, 

 without any other rib but the median one, at their truncate joints 

 dilated in a complanate cup, in which the flowers rest. 



To the former ( V. articulatuni) belong also Viscum moniliforme, 

 Bl., V. elongation, Wall., V. fragile, Wall., V. aUenuatum, DC, and 

 V. aphyllam, Griff., (Not, Dicot. 634 t. 630). 



SYMPLOCACE^E. 



70. Symplocos attenuata, Wall., ap. DC. (Prod., VIII, 256) 

 =: 8. polycarpa, Wall., ap. DC. (loc, cit.). — S. Ramiltoniana, Wall., 

 DO. (loc. cit.) is 8. racemosa, Roxb. — tf. iteophylla, Miq. = 8. adeno- 

 phylla, Wall., ap. DC. — S. Horsfieldiana, Miq., in Suppl. Fl. Su- 

 matr., 475, S. ruhiyinosa, Wall. ap. DC. and S. ferruginea, Roxb., 

 are all to be referred to S. Javanica (Dicalyx Javanicus, Bl. 1, Bydr., 

 1117). 



71. Symplocos sulcata, n. sp. 



Arbuscula novellis adpresse ferrugineo v. fulvescente pubes- 

 centibus ; folia lanceolata ad elliptico-lanceolata, basi acuta, (pe- 

 tiolis 3-4 lin. longis crassis), acuminata, magis minusve cre- 

 nato-serrulata v. integra, crasse chartacea, 5 — 7 poll, longa, 

 supra lucida, glabra, subtus valide nervosa et laxe reticulata ; 

 flores parvi, lutei, subsessiles, in racemum simplicem ferru- 

 gineo-tomentosum, brevem, axillarem, collecti ; bractese bracteo- 

 lseque subsequales, obovato-lanceolatpe, acutse, adpresse pubes- 

 centes, lineam fere longse ; calyx dense adpresse pubescens, lobis 

 circ. lin. longis, ovato-lanceolatis, obtusiusculis ; stamina numerosa, 

 ineequalia, basi inserta ; drupse elliptico-oblongee, pedicellis brevis- 

 simis, (^ lin. long.), tomentosis, circ. 4-5 lin. longee, sulcatse, subgla- 

 brse, C}^anescente-nigra3, calycis limbo coronata3, putamen sulcatum 

 durum 3-locularem includentes ; embryo rectus.— Martaban, Dau- 

 nat pass, 4000 feet (Dr. Brandis). This species will range along 

 with S. racemosa. 



The genus Symplocos, the species of which are supposed to be 

 very difficultly to distinguish, might perhaps be divided in the fol- 

 lowing way : — 



Subg. 1. Alstonia, DC. — Corollar-lobes twice as many as calyx- 

 lobes, in 2 rows (American).
