184 S. Kurz — Contributions towards a Knowledge [No. 3, 



Hab. Not unfrequent in the tropical forests of the eastern and south- 

 ern slopes of the Pegu Yomah and in Martahan, up to 2000 ft. elevation. — ■ 

 Fr. Fehr. March. 



Leaves very similar to those of L. sessiliflora, Bl. I fear that I am to 

 a certain degree to blame for Hiern's misidentification of the plant, in 

 having referred Brandis' specimens, as also my own, to Blume's L. montana, 

 under which name I also put it down in my preliminary Report on the Pegu 

 forests. It was hardly possible to avoid such mismatchings in a Report 

 which was drawn up in less than 15 months, in which period more than 

 1000 species had to be named, and keys furnished for the discrimination of 

 the species. 



Hemigyrosa, Bl. 



1. H canescens, Thw. Ceyl. PL 56. and 408 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 671. 

 (Molincea canescens, Bosh. Corom. PI. I. 43. t 60 and Fl. II. 243). 



Hab. Tenasserim, from Moulmein southwards. 



I cannot lay so much stress upon the irregularity of the corolla or of 

 the disk as to use it as a divisional character : the most naturally 

 allied genera, such as Hemigyrosa and Lepisanthes, Dittelasma, MriogJos- 

 sum, and Sapindus, or Allophylus and Schmiedelia, are forcibly removed 

 from one another, and, indeed, it remains to be shewn whether this charac- 

 ter can be upheld even as a generic differential. In Sapindus trifoliatus, L., 

 at least, the flowers can as well be regarded as irregular, and the close 

 affinity of this species to Hemigyrosa canescens cannot be denied. 



Dittelasma, Hf. 



1. D. Barak, Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 672.— {Sapindus Barak, DC. Prodr. I. 

 60S ; Bl. Bumph. III. 93. t. 169 ; Sapindus polypliyllus, Boxb. Hort. 

 Beng. 29; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 685). 



Hab. Bather rare in the tropical forests of the Pegu Yomah ; Tenas- 

 serim, Moulmein district, rare (Bevd. Parish). 



Erioglossum, Bl. 



1. E. kubicotosum, Brand. For. Fl. 108.— (M edule, Bl. Bydr. 229 

 and Bumph. III. 119. t. 166, Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 672 ; Sapindus rubiginosus, 

 Boxb. Corom. PL I. t. 62 and FL Ind. II. 282 ; Griff. 54S). 



Hab. Frequent in the tropical, rare in the moister mixed forests, from 

 Pegu and Martahan down to Tenasserim and the Andamans. — Fl. March, 

 Apr. ; Fr. May, June. 



Allophyltis, L. 



Conspectus of species. 

 x Rachis of racemes glabrous or nearly so. Braetlcts shorter th.au tlit pedi- 

 cels.
