I found this singularly lieautiful and graceful plant in full flower in 

 November, 1881, first near the village of Napal Litjin, 580 feet above the 

 sea ; but in proftision on the large disrupted calcareous blocl^ near the 

 • summit of the |)cak of KaraBguata, in company with magnificent spite- 

 baring CaJogyuos and pink-fruited Mdasioimccs^. J am not satisfied 

 that BoeaTreuhii may not form a new genus; it differs from Boea in its 

 large size and entire stigma. The specific name is give in honour of Dr 

 Xrenb, Director of the Botanic Gardens, Boitenzorg.
