PLATE 102. Gomphostemma javanicum Benth, Specimen from Java, Ilorsfield.
This is neavly alliei to 0. Seo<fechmn, altliougli by tli9 mucli smaller leaves and flowers. t¡ie
raucli shorter calyx teetli and tlie glabrous style it is sufficiently easily distinguislied from tliat spooies. The
leaves ai'e sometimes serrate, sometimes erenate, sometimes entire. Tkia is the plant intended in Blume'a
iieacrijJlion of Frasium javanicim, but Dr. Miquel informs its tliat this, according to a sheet sent to
Miquel by Dr. Blumo himself, is the plant that was named by Reinwardt Fi-tisium pMomoides. It is not
impossible that both speoies may haxd borne the same manuscript name in Eeinwordfs Herbarium ;
however this may be, Blume's description of Prasium phlomoides does not apply to this plant. The
nearest ally of the plant is the following, which, though easily distinguished by geaeral habit and
appearance, is perhaps hardly vavietally sepamble fcom it.

Under tlie next species the relationship of ,thÌ9 to Gomphostemma lueidim is discussed ; the roaaons
both for separating it specifically from G. lucidnm nnd for retaining that namo to designate Wall. Cat.
n. 2156/2 in place of using the name for this plant are there fully stated. This species beai's to G. lucidum
much the relationship that G. oblongim bears to G. PhUippinm-ttm, but its nearest ally is G. jntamcum,
of which it is probably only a form with larger and harsher loaves; in the wider view which will
reduce all the forms of the Lucida group, except G. phlomoides, to an amplified G. ohlongxm this will
hardly bo separated as a variety fi'om G. javaniam. In the meantime, however, it cannot be
included in that species without inconveniently extending its limits. Like G. javamcum, it differs fi'om
the other species of Lucida in having a glabrous style ; G. obionymi, howevei', to which all but ono of
the " Lucida " are probably reducible, is in this respect itself a connecting link since it includes plants
in other i-espects identical, but some of which have styles glabrous even in bud, while others havo
hirsute styles at least in young flowers.
