The genera of the {cacinew, especially those to which the plant 
escribed is most nearly allied, have been so differently limited x different 
bótaiststa that it is difficult to decide to which to refer a plant combining 
e characteristies of Stemonurus and Gomphandra, as defin 
strong 
resembles S. scorpioides, Becc. (Malesia, 1. p. 113 t. 6), but the in- 
florescence and stamens are very different, and nearer those of some of 
his memo of Gomphandra. Having to deal with only one species, the 
the ud must therefore remain uncertain.
