79. Ardisia involuerata, n. sp. 



Frutex glaber, habitu A. humilis ; folia obovata ad obovato- 

 lanceolata, basi in petiolum brevissimum attenuata, breviter accu- 

 minata v. subapiculata, 4-5 poll, longa, pergamacea, glabra, nervis 

 lateralibus tenuibus, iis A. humilis persimilibus percursa ; nores 

 majusculi, cereacei, intense rosei v. purpura, peclicellis crassis J-l 

 poll, longis, dein elongatis, suffulti, raeemos umbelliformes glabros, 

 pedicellorum basi involucratos, longinscnle peduncnlatos, axillares 

 v. snbterminales formantes ; involucri bracteae conspicuse, purpureas 

 v. roseao, pedicellorum longitudine, ovato-oblongee, acutiusculse ; 

 calycis glabri laciniee ovales, circ. 4 lin. longEe, dein paulum ac- 

 crescentes ; baccse globosse, calycis laciniis auctis multoties breviores. 

 — Not unfrequent in the forests of the outer hills of Sikkim Hima- 

 laya, especially between Khersiong and Punkabarri, in Balasun 

 valley etc., at 1 — 4000 feet elevation ; also descending occasionally 

 into the Terai. 



80. Climacandra obovata, Miq., will have to be changed into 

 CI, littoralis (Ardisia littoralis, Andr. Eepos. X, 630). De Candolle 

 merges A. littoralis into A. humilis, but I think incorrectly. 



Ardisia multiflora, Miq. and Ardisia umbellata, Roxb., (Fl. Ind., I, 

 582) belong both to the above. 



81. Aegiceras majus, Gsertn., is Aeg. corniculata, Blanco, (Fl. 

 Filip., 70, Rhizophora corniculata, L.). 



SAFOTACEM. 



82. The Indian genera of Sapotace^e might be arranged as 

 follows : —
