152 CXXVII LAURINEE. (J. D. Hooker.) [Actinodaphne. 
penninerved 1-2 feet very coriaceous oblanceolate or oblong-obovate sub- 
acute shining above rusty-tomentose beneath, nerves 15-20 pair very 
strong beneath with strong parallel transverse venules, fem. fl. solitary and 
umbellate on short peduncles in the same cluster, fruit globose on a broad 
flat 6-lobed perianth. 
Maracca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1275 and 1258, sesquipedalis). . 
Habit of A. sesquipedalis; leaves as large and of the same shape and texture, 
but tomentose beneath and barred between the nerves with strong parallel venules ; 
the fruiting calyx is much smaller and less coriaceous and thick, the perianth-lobes 
persistent, and the globose black fruit is only 3 in. diam.

ceous lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate caudate-acuminate 
smooth and shining above glaucous beneath, nerves 8-10 pair very slender, 
fem. fl. very small in peduncled umbels or clusters, fruit seated on the 
cupular-turbinate perianth-tube. Meissn. in DC. Prodr. xv.1.216, Laurus

PENANG, SINGAPORE and MALACCA, Wallich, Maingay. . 
Branches rather slender, branchlets densely rusty-tomentose. Leaves 4-6 in a 
whorl, dark brown glossy and quite smooth above with the nerves obscure beneath, 
not reticulate, midrib red on both surfaces, finely pubescent beneath when young; 
glabrous in age; petiole j-3 in., slender. Flowers à in. diam., silky, shortly pedi-

not seen.

Laurin, 594 (excl. syn. Blume); branches robust, leaves whorled penn-

shining above young tomentose beneath, nerves 6-10 pair strong beneath 
very oblique, fem. fl. in peduncled umbels, fruit globose on a small cup-

ISTRIB. Sumatra, Java. 
A tree, branches rather robust, young softly tomentose. Leaves 4-6 in a whorl, 
very variable in length and breadth, glossy with slender raised nerves above, beneath 
glaucous or not, quite veinless between the strong nerves, villous when young ; petiole 
$-3 in. Clusters silkily villous; flowers din. diam. Style villous. Fruit 4 in. diam. 
or less, cup 2 in. diam., pedicel about as long.—Judging from the leaf only, A. macrop- 
tera, Miquel, of Sumatra, is this. It a good deal resembles A. Haokeri. 
_ 19. A. hirsuta, Hook. f.; branchlets petioles and leaves beneath 
hirsute and brown-tomentose, leaves whorled penninerved 4-6 in. thinly 
coriaceous elliptic-lanceolate acuminate smooth and shining above, nerves 
8-10 pair very slender, fem. fl. long-pedicelled umbellate or subracemose 0n 
a hirsute peduncle, fruit (young) seated on the cup-shaped quite entire 
perianth-tube. 
MALABAR ; at Quillon, Wight. 
, Apparently a very distinct species, in young fruit only, allied to A. lanata of the 
Nilghiris, but with broader (1}-2 in.) leaves densely tomentose beneath, and hirsute 
branches petioles and nerves beneath ; the flowers too are long-pedicelled and umbel-
