more obovate shorter-petioled very coriaceous leaves and short panicles.

,.. M. BooTANICA, Meissn. (p.138). I have nothing to add to the description of 
this very distinct plant. 
M. ? kHaSYANA, Meissn. (p.137). This also is a very distinct plant, with leaves 
sometimes 11 in. long, of a thin texture, very blue beneath, and with a rusty-brown 
pubescence, (It may not be a Machilus.) 
M. SERICFA, Blume (p. 139). The materials in the Calcutta Herbarium do not 
help to clear up this species, which had, perhaps, better be suppressed. ste br 
Under Z. sericea, No. 2606 (in Herb. Hook. only) are specimens with white ark 
9n the branches, and I collected apparently the same in Sikkim; the young leaves 
are perfectly glabrous, as are the branches of the panicle, leaves 3-5 in, elliptic, 
eeply punctate, flowers 3 in. diam., sepals oblong, silky on both surfaces, l laments 
glabrous. It approaches M., Gammieana, which has sometimes white bark, but the 
flowers are much smaller. . ] .
