1. A. littoealis, Bl. Kumph. III. 124. (Schmidelia littoralis, Bl.

 Fl. Ind. II. 265). 



Hab. Coast-forests from Chittagong and Arracan down to Tenasse- 

 rim. 



3. A. apoeeticus, (Schmidelia aporetica, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 

 Beng. 1870. 74 ; Omitrophe aporetica, Eoxb. Fl. Ind. II. 264).

Hiern makes 2 species of Indian Allophyli, viz., those with 1- and those 

 with 3-foliolate leaves, but this character falls to the ground, inasmuch as 

 his A. zeylanicus var. 6 grandifolia ( = Schmidelia chartacea, Kurz in 

 Journ. As. Soc. Beng. 1874. 183) has sometimes 1- and 3-foliolate leaves on 

 the same branch. I have not been able as yet to study this genus, but I 

 have little doubt but that Hiern's eminently practical conclusions will not 

 stand a scientific test.
