Andaman Islands r common. — Distrib. Along tlie base of the

I cannot see how WalHch's two seta of specimens named L. acimi- 
nata and L. Jaeta are to lie distingnished as species — tbe solitary differ- 
ence which I can find between them being that, in L. laeia the cymea 
are more condensed and have shorter pednijcles than in L. acuminata, 
I have therefore* in spite of the high authority of Mr. C. B. Clarke 
who keeps them distinct, ventured to unite them* The species, as 
1 understand it,, is allied to ij, *c!m6«cin», Willd,, bnt is a much Bmaller 
plant and has coral-red, not green, flowers in ruety-pEbesceiit con- 
densed cymes, and red fruit.

.Perak : on Waterloo Peak, alt. 1500 feet ; Curtis, No. 2872. 
Collected only by Mr. Curtis who describes the young leaflets as 
beautifully marked with silvery-grey variegations along both sides of 
their midribs. This appears in its foliage to resemble the imperfectly 
known Bornean species L. amahilis the leaflets of whichj however, have 
more nerves and more serrations.
