A. symplocoides (Hk. f.) Gage (comb, nov.) - Bacecaurea? symplo- 
coides Hk. £. in Fl, Brit. Ind. V, 376. Oe 
I refer these two species A. Prainiana and A. symplocoides to Aporosa rather than to 
Baceaurea, as they agree bett-r with the former in the clustering ‘of the sessile male flowers, 
the stamens and in the perianth of both sexes. Although very distinct from a |, the ther 
species of either Aporosa or Baccaurea, the distinction is scarcely a gene ic difference. 1
