Singapore, WalUch, Maingay, 



Pubescence rusty -when dry. Leaves 3-5 in., petiole rather stout ; leaflets slightly 

 dilated or contracted at the base, opaque, reticulation very obscure. Baoemes (very con- 

 tracted panicles) axillary, strict, shorter than the leaves ; pedicels very short indeed. 

 Flowers not seen. . Capsule fin., much curved, obtuse. — I do not. see whyWallich 

 proposed the trivial name of fulgens for this ; in its dry state it is a remarkably lurid 

 plant.

Tenasseeim, at Mergui, Griffith. 



Branches glabrous, branchlets pubescent. Leaves 2-4 in. ; petiole slender ; 

 leaflets contracted cordate and very oblique at th& base, shirting above and below, 

 nerves and reticulations obscure. Bacemes apparently almost reduced to fascicles ; 

 bracts ovate, ferruginous. Sepals lanceolate, acute, spreading, imbricate, pubescent at 

 the tip. Petals linear, very narrow, 2| times longer than the sepals. Ovaries pilose. — 

 The flowers are described from Griffiths' Notulse; the spreading calyx is anomalous 

 in the genus.
