wood, and coal abound. Either Tavoy or Mergui afford

From Dr. Oxley, Senior Surgeon in the Straits, a small

 very noticeable plant, but in a larger collection (of 250 sp.) 

 communicated by him to the late Mr. Voigt, we observed 

 some remarkable plants, particularly an undescribed species 

 of Dorianne, for which we propose the name D. Oxleyanus.*
