Note 1)7/ Sir D, Brandis, F.E,S., on the Bombay Species 

 of Memecylon. 



1. M. edule, Roxb. (1795), must eventually be called M, umhellatum, 

 B urm, ( 1 768). See Trimen II. 2 1 7. Berries black. 



M, angiistifolium, Wight t. 276 and M. Reyneanumj Benth. (^M. jam- 

 bosioides, Wgt. t. 277) I have not from Bombay. 



2. M. Talbotianum, sp. nov. Mahabaleshvar (D, B., October 1881). 

 Konkan, Stocks; Kanara (Ritchie, May 1853). North Kanara (Talbot, 

 March 1896, Nos. 3568, 3658). Neilghiris and Coorg (T. Thomson). A 

 large shrub or small tree ; branchlets terete, slightly quadrangular below the 

 nodes. Leaves thickly coriaceous, ovate or elliptic, shortly and obtusely 

 acuminate, blade 3-— 4 in. narrowed into petiole '25 in. long ; secondary 

 nerves invisible. Flowers small, sessile, in compact clusters on bracteate 

 nearly sessile tubercles. Connective shorter than anthers- Fruit yellow, 

 globose, '25 in. in diameter ; pericarp thickly coriaceous. 



3. M. malabaricum, Cogn. Syn. M, amplexicaule, Roxb. var. mala- 

 harica, Fl. Br. I. II. 559 ; M. amplexioaule, Wight Ic, t. 279 ; M, um- 

 hellatum, Bedd.Fl. Sylv. t. 206. 



M. amplexicaule, Roxb., is a di:fferent eastern species from Penang. 

 deccanenssj 0. B. Clarke, from the Peninsula without locality. Leaves 

 narrower than in 3, probably equal M, malabaricum. 



4 M. Wightii, Thwaites, Kanara (Ritchie, 1853). Of this species, 

 which is well marked by winged branchlets, there are only two poor speci- 

 mens here, (kew.J one from Ritchie^ the other from Ceylon. 



5. M. amabile, Bedd. Ic. t. 163 and 



6. M. terminale, Dalz. K. Kdnara ghats, I have kept distinct, but 

 believe they are the same species.
