I believe that Hopea eglandulosa of Roxburgh, which Mr. 

 Colebrooke in a MS. note, appended to the description in 

 Roxburgh's MSS. synopsis, long ago stated not to belong 

 to Hopea, Sarcostigma Roxburghii, Wall. MSS., and which 

 Mr. Brown in his MSS. formerly called Wahlenbergia, not 

 only belongs to this order, but will be found to be very nearly 

 allied to this genus. Of this genus Sarcostigma,* there 

 appears to be a second species from Sylhet. 



Among the Polygalea are, one species of Polygala, three of 

 Xanthophyllum, and three of Salomonia, among which is a 

 most remarkable species, which may be thus indicated :

 spithamsea, floribus dense spicatis, pentandris, capsula ecris- 

 tata.

Dipterocarpece abound about Mergui, but from their enor- 

 mous size the flowers are frequently inaccessible. One genus 

 appears to have perigynous stamens. 



Of Hippocrateacea about six species occur, one of these is 

 arborescent and pentandrous. 



Among the Malpighiaceve are a species of Hirsea and four 

 species of Ancistrocladus. 



Erythrocytes are represented by a species of Sethia, ap- 

 parently Sethia indica. 



Among Rosacea and its sub-orders, occur one species of 

 Rubus and one of Amygdalese, the fruit of which abounds 

 with prussic acid. 



Leguminosce occur extensively, and form about one-sixteenth 

 of the whole ; among these I may mention a species of Pon- 



* Sarcostigma is now applied by Wight and Arnott to a genus of Thyme- 

 lacese.
