and l-sided and all seedless, this is also the case in Wallich’s type specimens. 
Clarke’s specimens, collected on various occasions, have fruits in abundance, all 
globose with perfect seeds. 
9. P. Griffithii, Clarke; leaves broadly lanceolate acuminate sub- 
entire rusty-villous on the midrib beneath not gland-dotted, calyx-lobes minute. 
Ardisia eugenizfolia, Kurz For. Fi. ii. 111, and in Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 
225, not of Wallich. 
Parxoys Mrs, south-east of Assam, alt. 4000 ft.; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 
3598). 
An erect shrub, 4-5 ft.; branches ascending obliquely, rusty-villous at the tips. 
Leaves 6} by 2 in. base cuneate or rhomboid, primary nerves prominent scarcely 
inarching, gland-dots most minute; petiole } in. Znflorescence less than $ in., densely 
corymbose, rusty-pubescent ; flowers as of P. eugeniefolia, but still smaller. Berry 
ł in. diam., globose, red.—Perhaps a var. of P. eugenicfolia; but the erect habit of 
growth is unlike the marked uniform horizontal branches of that species, and the 
leaves are without the large glandular dots which are always present in P. eugenie- 
Jolia. 
3. P. terecta, Clarke; leaves elliptic-oblong narrowed at both ends 
subentire nearly glabrous, pedicels À in. in axillary rusty fascicles, calyx-lobes 
+ in. elliptic-oblong adpressed to the berry. 
Kuasa Mrs. ; Umwai, alt. 3000 ft. ; Clarke. 
A small, erect shrub; branches erect, rusty-villous towards the ends, Leaves 4 
by 1} in., acuminate, base cuncate, primary nerves not prominent, gland-dots scattered 
not prominent; petiole 3 in. Pedicels fascicled on shortened lateral spurs, rising 
from tufts of small bracteoles. Corolla small; lobes rounded. Berry i in. diam., 
globose, smooth.— This is perhaps a new genus ` but the examples being in fruit, the 
stamens have not been observed. The inflorescence resembles that of Myrsine, but the 
fruit is that of Ardisia. 
4. P. Wallichii, 4. DC. in Ann. Sc, Nat. 2, xvi. 88, and in DC. Prodr. 
viii. 106; leaves large oblong acute at both ends entire rusty-villous at least on 
the midrib beneath rarely glabrous, pedicels } in. in sessile umbels or corymbs, 
ovary villous, berry 1-3 in. globose glabrous. Deless. Ic. Sel. v. t. 31; Scheff. 
Myrsin. 94. Myrsine pachysandra. Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey A Wail.

Droen, Maracca and SimxaaronE ; Wallich, Griffith, Maingay.—Disrrie. Malaya. 
A large shrub or small tree; branches rusty-villous at the ends. Leaves 95 by 
23 in., base cuneate, primary nerves distinct beneath scarcely inarching, dots small or 
obscure; petioles 1 in., rusty-villous. Inflorescence 1-13 in., somewhat lax. Buds 
à by Lin. Calyz-lobes +; in., ovate. 
Var. Teysmanniana, Hook. f. in Gen, Pl. ii. 647 (sp.); leaves very large more 
villous beneath, pedicels very stout. Ardisia Teysmanniana, Scheff. Obs. Phyt. ii. 56. 
——Malacea; Maingay.—Disrrm. Bangka.—A. Korthalsiana, Scheff. Myrsin. 57, 
appears the same thing, but is said to differ by the berry (not seen) being hairy. 
7. ANTISTROPHE, 4. DC. 
Slender shrubs. Leaves alternate, petioled, lanceolate, acuminate. Flowers 
hermaphrodite, rose-coloured ; umbels subsessile, axillary; pedicels slender ; 
bracts small. Calyx small; lobes 5, lanceolate, persistent. Corolla deeply 
5-fid, lobes twisted to the left in the bud, Stamens 5, in the throat of the 
corolla, filaments short; anthers free, elliptic-oblong, opening by longitudinal 
slits, connective produced upwards as a membranous wing. Ovary ovoid, 
narrowed into a te style, stigma punctiform ; ovules several, immersed in 
a globose free placenta. erry globose, smooth; endocarp chartaceous, Seed
