Wallich's example is a branch with leaves only, in habit e*6eedin^ly like P. escalenta, 

 except as to the points mentioned in the diagnosis. Leaves 5i by 2 in., mature 

 glabrate. Schauer's description appears compounded out of Wallidh's two sheets of 

 1764, the second of which may very possibly not be of the same genus or order.
