merging the genus Polysolenia into Leptomischus. Indopolysolenia burmanica Deb et
Rout is reduced to a synonum of Leptomischus primuloides Drake.  A key to
species is given below:

  2.Stipules 3-fid or torn;  Leaves narrowly lanceolate;  stigmas with 2 short obtuse
    lobes  ......................................................  1.L. wallichii
