P.102. MxnisTICA.— Since the publication of the Indian species of this genus 
in 1886, a good many additional specimens have been received, including twelve 
species from Singapore, collected by thelate Mr. Cantley. Most of them are known 
species, but the following two are such remarkable novelties, that though I am 
unable to refer them to their sections of the genus, I think it desirable to make 
them known, 
M. PENDULINA, Hook. f.; branchlets very long and young leaves beneath and 
panicles finely rusty-tomentose, leaves 10-14 by 2-3 in. close-set subsessile pendu- 
lous linear acuminate, nerves 30-50 pairs, fem. panicles 3-4 in. very robust, flowers 
shortly stoutly pedicelled 4 in. long ellipsoid glabrous shortly 2-fid, ovary ovoid 
glabrous, stigma terminal minute sessile. 
SINGAPORE, Cantley. 
A tree ; branches spreading, 15 ft. long, as thick as the fore-finger at the base, 
slender towards the tip, clothed throughout with crowded leaves; bark black when 
dry, except at the tips. Leaves rather coriaceous, old glabrous beneath, base 
cuneate or rounded, narrowed into a very short broad petiole. Fem. fl. thickly 
coriaceous, ebracteate.—'Tlis very remarkable species resembles in the leaf M. 
sylvestris, Houtt., of Ternate, but the nerves are far more numerous. 
M. sPHRULA, Hook. f.; branches slender furrowed, tips and leaf-nerves 
beneath and inflorescence and fruit very finely tawny-tomentose, leaves 3-5 by 2-14 in. 
petioled narrowly linear-oblong acuminate subsilvery glaucous beneath with 10-16 
pairs of very slender nerves, female fl. shortly pedicelled racemose on short very stout 
Tugosely scarred simple peduncles urceolate 3-fid, ovary broadly ovoid silky nar- 
Towed into a short style with a lacerate stigma, fruit small spherical. 
Matacca, Cantley. 
A tree, 20 ft. high. Leaves thinly coriaceous, shining above, midrib and nerves 
beneath reddish, base acute; petiole slender, 4-4 in. Flowering peduncles nu- 
merous, axillary, and on the branches i-$ in. long, i in. diam., straight, closely 
scarred from the base to the tip (as if continuously growing and flowering at the 
tips). Fem, fl. in. long; pedicels as long. Fruit exactly globose, about 3 in. 
diam., apiculate. — Native name, Chindarah Padi. 
P. 136. MACHILUS. . 
The loan from Dr. King of the rich collection of Machili in the Herbarium of 
the Royal Gardens, Calcutta, enables me to define better many of the species of this 
very perplexing genus. It leaves, however, more than it accomplishes towards finally 
discriminating the Indian species. 
* Fruit oblong or ellipsoid. Flower quite glabrous. 
1. M. oporatissima, Nees in part (p. 139); branchlets and young leaves 
beneath glabrous or slightly silky, leaves 4-6 in. elliptic-lanceolate impressed 
punctate, nerves 7-18 pairs, panicles shorter than the leaves and flowers and fila- 
: ite glabrous, fruit 4-2 in. long. 
ments quite gabra raya from Kashmir and Hazara eastwards, alt. 5—7000 ft., to 
Bhotan, ascending to 8060 ft. in Sikkim. Kuasta MTS., alt. 5-6000 ft. MARTABAN, 
-" , Kurz. : . 
an" Wallich'a Laurus odoratissima (Cat. 2607), as described by Nees under 
Machilus (Plant. As. Rar. ii. 70), letter A, from Nepal is in bud only. The 
panicle and Luds are silkily pubescent, and it is possibly a large-leaved form of M. 
bombycina. B from Chercovlie in the Deyra Dhoun (Kumaon), with perfectly glabrous 
panicle and old flowers and oblong fruit, is what I believe Wallich intended for
