L. ? PLAvicANS, Wall. Herb. , from Taong-dong in Ava, =•■ plant without flower or 

 fruit, is not Aurantiaceous, but I cannot tell what it is. 



L. OBLOHGA, WaU. Cat. 6359 ; an impei-feot specimen without flower or fruit, may be 

 Paramignya Griffithii. The leaves are 3-5 in., oblong-lanceolate, obtusely acuminate, 

 and as well as the slender branchlets finely pubescent beneath ; spines short. 



L. PENTAavNA, Boxb., is Bursera serrata, Wall., according to Kurz in Joum. As.

L. KETUSA, Don Proda: 224, is probably Triphasia trifoliata.
