Order XXXIII. Ochnace^. 
Vol. i. p. 365, sp. I, Gomphia sumatrana Jack., note:— 
The plant described by Jack from Sumatra proves to be quite 
different from the tree of the Malay Peninsula referred to by Hooker, 
fil. (F.B.I. i. 525), and by King and myself. The true G, sumatrana, 
Jack, has larger thinner and serrulate acuminate leaves, larger 
flowers and acute sepals, longer than the fruit. In the Malay 
Peninsula plant the leaves are thicker and smaller, and usually 
entire, and the sepals blunt and shorter than the fruit. I have 
therefore named our species G. oblongifolia Ridl. in Kew Bull. 
1925, p. 79. The distribution Sumatra in Vol. i. 365, p. 41 must 
be omitted. 
Order XXXVII. Olacine^. 
Vol. i. p. 430, sp. I, Stemonurus secundiflorus BL, insert :— 
The description and almost all the specimens quoted should 
be referred to S. scorpioides, Becc. Malesia, i. 113. S. grandi- 
foliiis, Becc., which Beccari, rightly, I think, separates from Miquel’s 
Lasianthera secundiflora, Stemonurus secundiflorus, BL, a tree with 
small leaves and flowers, though, as Beccari notes, Miquel gives 
the leaves as attaining the length of 9 in., suggesting that he had 
combined the two species. However, his figure and specimen are 
all of the small-leaved tree. I give descriptions of both trees.
