Near H. capitellafa Wall, and H. Elmeri MEKKn.L, but differs from the 

 former in having stalked ilowers, and from the latter in having narrower 

 leaves, and much narrower calyx-lobes. The flowers of H. capitellafa are 

 nearly sessile. Our plant appears also to be near H. macrostemaii H. et A. 

 which I saw in the Herbarium at Hongkong; but, so far as I can judge from 

 the floral cliaracters of the species given in " Hook, et Aen. Bot. Beech. Voy. 

 p. 192," they are not at all similar, but very distinct.
