of the species as Sikkim. In the flowering specimens now available the 
leaflets are dropping, so that Dungboo^s statement that at flowering 
time the tree is more or less bare is probably correct.

Speiiceria ramalana Trimen, 
Among the Bhutan specimens is a species of Spencerict which I am 
unable to separate specifically from the Chinese plant. The Bhutan 
plant is shorter, has smaller leaves and flowers than the single type of 
S. ramalana in the Calcutta Herbarium, but there is no great distinction 
except perhaps in the number of stamens, which is about one-half of 
what are present in the described type which has thirty. The small 
size of the flower may quite well account for this. The Bhutan speci- 
men on comparison with the types at Kew is taken to be very near, if 
not actually, S. ramalana. This monotypic genus has been recorded 
previously only from China. {Gillj Delavay No. 214, Pratt Nos. 588, 
701, Sonliel:i^o^» 658, 894, Potanin, Hosie,) and is an interesting addition 
to the flora of the Indian area. The plant was collected near Dong-La , 
Eastern Bhutan.
