I have seen only Wallieb's specimen of thia in the Calctitta set of Ida 
plants. The specimen is a very poor one, aTid tire above description is 
taken mostly from Sir .Toseph Hooker. Mr. Uen-y collected in Malacca, 
(Herb. No. lOlO) a plant of which there are two fi'ui ting specimens 
in the Ciilcntta Herbarium which, fmm the sluipe of its leaves, I would 
have lefeiTcd to tliie, were it not tliat remains niiraerons stamens 
persist at the base of one of the young fruits. Mr. Derry*s phint muf^t 
I believe belong to an as yet undescribed Bpeetofi,

This has as yet b'een collected only by the late Father Scortechini 
and Mr. Kunstler, and their speci.'nens have no ripe frttit. It approaches 
M. Miiinjayi in it^ leaves, but has much more tomentose panicles. The 
great distinctive mark, however, is Hint tlie flower buds of this are eaeh 
enveloped in a large concave .sheatidng bract. As regards the pubea-
