short tomentum, much smaller leaves opaque above, with short points, petioles twice 
as long, long loose panicles, and smaller flowers. The fruit is undescribed.— King 
regards this as C. crassinervia, Miquel, of Sumatra, and he may be right. I have 
seen no authentic specimens of either impressa or crassinervia, 
3. C. andamanica, Hook. f.; branchlets inflorescence and leaves 
beneath densely rusty-tomentose, leaves 3-5 in. coriaceous lin ear-oblong acute 
shining flat and even above subglaucous beneath, nerves 10-14 pair strong 
beneath, panicles peduncled compound shorter than the leaves, tore 
pedicelled, fruit long-pedicelled narrowly ellipsoid. C. tomentosa, Herb. 
Hort. Calc., not of Blume. 
ANDAMAN ISLANDS, Herb. Hort. Calcutt. 
Branchlets stout. Leaves 13-2] in. broad, very pale on both surfaces when dry, 
margins flat, nervules beneath very fine. .Panicles sometimes as long as the leaves i 
branches erecto-patent, rather dense-fld. Flowers pale when dry, jj; in. long ; tube o 
perianth shorter than the lobes. Fruit 1-1} in., subacute at both ends, quite smooth ; , 
peduncle 3 in., swollen.— This differs from C. tomentosa in the more numerous nerves 
and shape of the leaves. 
4. C. rugulosa, Hook. f.; branchlets and leaves beneath finely rusty- 
pubescent, leaves 3-5 in. linear-oblong acute or acuminate rugose an 
shining above, beneath with 5-8 pairs of strong nerves, panicles hoary 
rather slender much branched as long as the leaves, flowers pedicelled 
minute, fruit globosely flask-shaped. 
Maracca, Maingay (Kew Distrib, 1262). . 
A very distinct species, allied to C. Griffithiana, but much smaller in all its parts, 
not villous, with slender much-branched panicles of very small pedicelled flowers ; the 
fruit is of nearly the same shape, but only $ in. long.— King takes this to be Miquel’s 
C. impressa of Sumatra ; he may be right, but it differs from the description. 
5. R. Ferrarsi, King in Herb. Hort. Calcutt.; branchlets and leaves 
beneath very finely rusty-pubescent, leaves 6-9 in. thinly coriaceous nar- 
rowly linear-oblong narrowed into the petiole acute or acuminate flat and 
smooth above subglaucous beneath, nerves 12-15 pair tomentose beneath, 
panicles very long-peduncled, fruit small narrowly ovoid.
