conescenti-velutinas dispositi ; calyx puberulus, lobis triangulari- 

 bus acutis ; petala crassa, minute puberula, oblonga, obtusiuscula, 

 lineain fere longa ; stamina petalis breviora, filamenta crassa, pube- 

 rula, antherarum longitudine. — Pegu (Karen hills ?), (Dr. Brandis). 

 This species agrees in many respects with E. Ribes, Burin., but 

 differs from it by the sessile or nearly sessile flowers. 



75. Embelia garctnt^folia, Miq., (PI. Jungh., 187 ; Scheff 

 Comm. Myrs., 40,) is E. JZoribunda, Wall. 



E. picta, Wall. ap. DC. does not differ from E. robusta, Eoxb. 



E. ferrugima, Wall. ap. DO. is hardly different from E. villosa, 

 Wall., a species so nearly allied to E. robusta, Eoxb., as to make it 

 not improbable that both are only varieties of one and the same 

 species. 



76. Myrsine Myrtilltjs, Hook., (Icon. PL, t. 825 ; Walp. Ann. 

 V, 473), is evidently an Embelia. 



77. Ardisia Brandisiana, n, sp. 



Frutex v. suffrutex ? ramis crassiusculis et succulentis, indis- 

 tincte lepidotulis ; folia oblonga v. elliptico-oblonga, petiolis 

 § ad poll, longis, crassis, basi insequalia et acuta, obtusa, 5-6 

 poll, longa, undulato-repanda, pergamacea, glabra, nervis late- 

 ralibus tenuibus et parallelo-curvis, vix visibilibus, percursa ; 

 flores conspicui, pedicellis pollicaribus, minute puberulis, sursum 

 incrassatis, racemum umbelliformem axillarem, pedunculo 3-4 

 poll, longo, nudo, instructum, formantes ; calyx subglaber, lobis 

 circ. 2 lin. longis, ovato-oblongis, acutis, membranaceis ; corollee 

 lobi sepalis plusquam duplo longiores, ovati, acuminati. — Burma* 

 along a choung near Toumbjotseik (?) growing up to an elevation 

 of nearly 50 feet, Salween. (Dr. Brandis). 



78. Ardisia polysticta, Miq., (Suppl. PL Sumatr., I, 576 ; 

 Scheff. Comm. Myrs., 75) which Dr. Scheffer declares to be well 

 distinguishable from A. crispa DC, by the compound inflorescences 

 and rather long peduncled umbels, is nothing but one of those 

 frequent forms of A. crispa, which have the peduncles growing out 

 into additional peduncled umbels, as is for inst. clearly shown in 

 Bot. Reg. t. 533, sub A. lentiginosa*
