1. S. TOMENTOSTTS, Kui'Z MS. 



Hab. Ava, Khakhyen hills, Mynela (J. Anderson). 



2. S. Danura, Voigt. Cat. Horfc. Calc. 94 ; Hf. Ind. Fl. I. 684, excl. 

 syn. S. verticittata, Roxb. — (Scytalia Danura, Roxb. Fl. Ind. II. 274 ; 

 Euphoria verticittata, Lindl. Bot. Neg. t. 1059, non Eoxb.). 



Hab. Frequent in the tidal forests of the Andamans, also in those of 

 Pegu and Tenasserim. 



In this species abnormal leaves are often observed of a semipinnate and 

 even perfectly pinnate shape. Roxburgh's Scytalia verticittata is in my 

 opinion a different plant. Wallich's Cat. 8052 D., from HBC. and hills 

 east of Sylhet, may be taken as the type of it. 



3. S. HICKOCAEPTJS, Kurz MS. 



Hab. In the adjoining Siamese province of Kanbooree (Teysman) ; 

 probably also in Upper Tenasserim. — Fr. Apr. May. 



Xerospermum, Bl.

Hab. Tenasserim (Helf. 1006). 



Mr. Hiern confounds two generically different plants, viz., the true 

 Malayan plant and Sapindus glabratus, Wall. (= Cupania glabrata, Kurz), 

 from Sylhet and the Khasi hills.
