Tliere is only one expanded tlower on the specimen before us : this we have not 

 examined, but, as a memorandum on the accompanying ticket informs us that the 

 ovules are solitary, we refer this plant without hesitation to Guaiteria.

Hab. In Silhet, Wall.! Assam inf.. Ham.!- — (y. s. ex Hort. Calc.) 



Arbor, cortice cinereo glabro, gemmis pubesccntibus. Folia 6. fragrantis, sed 

 minora, utrinque glaberrima. Pedicelli graciles, poUicares, incano-puberuli. Petala 

 glabra, iuteriora poUicaria, exteriora .J breviora. 



G. lateriflora, Blume, is evidently closely allied to this species as well as to the 

 preceding. All three seem to vary much iu the size and shape of the leaves, but to 

 be readily distinguishable by the inflorescence. 



11. G. membranaeea (Alph. DC. Mem. 41) ; foliis oblongo- 

 lanceolatis acuminatis nervo centrali superne velutino subtus piloso,

 brevistijiitatis paiicis ovoideis velutinis. 



Hab. In prov. Tenasserim et Tavoy, JFall. ex A. DC. I. c. 



We cannot identify this description with anything in Wall. Cat, from Tavoy, so 

 that probably the only specimens of this species known are at Geneva.
