communicated by Miquel to the British Museum agree with Mr. Kurz's, which have 

 the calyx-tube not furrowed, and do not materially differ from A. Lamarckii, but the 

 examples of A. sundanwm at Kew have the calyx-tube (even in the bud) deeply 

 grooved and appear a distinct species. 



Vab. glandidosam, Thwaites Enum. 133 (sp.); young parts ruddy-furfuraceoua, 

 leaves ovate or oblong rostrate-acuminate, beneath with most minute shining glands 

 and with glandular pores at the axils of the primary nerves, flowers glandular 

 sparingly hairy, pedicels and calyces furfuraceous with red glands. — Ceylon, Central 

 Province, alt. 2000-4008 ft.; J%waites. — According to Mr. Thwaites a closely allied 

 but distinct species. The peduncles, calyx-tabe, and petals are much less woolly 

 than in A. Lamarckii; these and the tender surfaces of the leaves are not (in 

 Thwaites' No. 381) glandular, but covered with most minute glistening hairs, giving 

 under a common lens a glandular appearance. A. gltmdulosum thus has much shorter 

 hairs than the orcUnary forms of A. Lammckii, while some examples of A. Lavtarckii 

 have the under surface of the leaves glabrous or very nearly so.
