AMPELIDE^E. 



53. Cissus hastatus, M i q., in Suppl. Fl. Suinatr. 517, is the same 

 as Vitis glaberrima, W a 1 L, in B, x b. FL Ind. (ed. prior) II, 476. 



54. Vitis pent agona, Yoigt, in Cat. Suburb. Calcutta, 28. (Cis- 

 sus pentagona, E o x b., FL Ind., I, 408). This species is very frequent 

 in the forests of Arracan, where I found it flowering. I add the 

 description of the flowers to the short characteristic given in Eox- 

 burgh's Flora, 



Flores parvi, flaviduli,, cymulas glabras simplices v. raro subcom- 

 positas oppositifolias formantes ; pedicelli circ. 1-1£ lin. longi, crassi, 

 glabri ; calyx truncatus ; petala 4, oblongo-lanceolata, cucullato- 

 acuminata, lineani fere longa ; stamina 4 ; stylus breviusculus, 

 simplex. — It is a very distinct species with glossy obtusely 5- 

 angled and thick stems, and may be placed near V. repens, WA. 



55. Vitis elegatis, Kur z, in Nat. Tydsch. v. Ned. Indie, is the 

 same as V. cinnamomea, Wall., inEox b. FL Ind. 



SAPmDACEJS.

 II, 264.) — Fruticulus 2-3-pedalis, novellis pubescentibus ; folia 

 majora, 3-foliolata, petiolo 3-5-pollicari parce pubescente, foliola 

 oblonga v. obovata, cuneata, lateralia sub-inaequalia, breve crasseque 

 petiolulata, breviter acuminata, 6-8 poll, longa, remote irregularique 

 serrata, membranacea, glabra, nervis subtus plus minus pubescen- 

 tibus et supra dense fulvo-villosis ; flores parvi, flaviduli, fascicu- 

 lati, pedicellis brevibus gracilibus glaberrimis, bracteis longis line- 

 ari-subulatis hirsutis sustenti ; racemi robustiores, simplices, axil- 

 lares, fulvo-villosi, petiolis breviores ; petala obovato-cuneata, 

 emarginata, intus supra medio valde lanata ; nlamenta glabra v. 

 basi lanata ; ovarium villosum ; drupae abortu vulgo solitaria3, 

 raro geminse, pisi majoris magnitudine, globosae, miniatee, luci- 

 da3. — Very frequent in the Forests of the lower hills of Arracan, on 

 sandstone, up to 1200 feet. 



This species is easily recognised amongst the trifoliolate forms 

 with pubescent rachis by the long linear-subulate bracts. 



SABIACEJE. 



57. Sabia f floribunda, M i q., Suppl. Fl. Sumatr. 521, is the 

 same as Meliosma sirnpticifolia, B 1.
