Very close to the preceding, but differing by its smaller flowers and in 

 the slenderness of the peduncles and pedicels, as also in its growth in low- 

 lands inundated during rains. Lawson ascribes sublamellate petals to this 

 species, while they are simply longitudinally corrugate in the Burmese speci- 

 mens, and hence I suspect that he has made up his phrasule (for a descrip- 

 tion it cannot be called) from Malayan specimens, cmite overlooking the 

 fact that Wallich's No. 6520 all came from Burma. He also still ascribes 

 to the genus Loplwpetalum " rarely winged, arillate seeds" and a " fleshy 

 albumen," all characters which are applicable to the genus if taken in the 

 absolute negative. Wight erroneously included the Evonymics grandiflorus 

 in Loplwpetalum and drew the characters of the seeds from it : whence the 

 confusion which I have already pointed out in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1870, 

 p. 73. On account of the dotted vegetative parts and the seeds being 

 winged at the upper end only, I now prefer keeping up the genus KoJcoona 

 Thw. Lawson has also a L. celastroides from Upper Tenasserim and Pegu, 

 the description of which does not enlighten one much as to the characters 

 wherein it differs from the above otherwise than by the lobulate warts of 

 the dried disk.

Not seen by me, but hardly belongs to this genus. The cupular disk 

 points to Sippocratea^ but the number of stamens is not given.
