610 xci oLEACEE. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Linociera. 
8. L. terniflora, Wall. Cat, 2845; leaves oblong acuminate coriaceous, 
nerves inarching distinct on both surfaces, flowers in small heads in small 
pubescent panicles, petals }—4 in. united in pairs, ovary pilose. DC. Prodr. viii. 
907. Olea terniflora, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 157, and in Journ, As, Soc, 1877, pt. ii. 
244. 
Brrma; on the Saluen, Wallich; Pegu—Yomah, Kurz. 
Innovations fulvous-pilose. Leaves 64 by 2 in., sometimes more elliptic, glaucous- 
green, narrowed at both ends, apex obtuse ; nerves $ pairs, impressed above ; petiole 
i jin, Panicles 1-3 in. divaricate with few heads, grey-pubescent ; heads often 3- 
flowered. Calyx j; in.; lobes broad, pa'ent, thin, ciliate-pubescent. Petals united 
about one-third their length. Ovary minutely pilose; style twice as long as the 
ovary, pilose below. Drupe 4 by } in.; seed exalbuminous in Kurz's own example, 
who nevertheless removes the species to Olea.—Setting aside the albumen, the species 
appears closely allied to Linociera malabarica. 
Var. acuminata, Wall. Cat. 2844 (sp.); primary nerves obseure somewhat im- 
pressed beneath not prominently inarched, petals united in pairs for half their length, 
ovary densely pilose, style much shorter than the ovary. DC. Prodr. viii. 298. 
Linociera sp. n. 6, Herb. ind. Or. H. f. & T. —Birma; on the Saluen, Wallich; Moul- 
mein; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3689); Chittagong; H. f. 4 T. 
9. L. insignis, Clarke; leaves large obovate-lanceolate, panicles com- 
pound pubescent, petals 4 nearly free oblong-linear. Chionanthus insignis. 
Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 559. Ch. montanus, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 159, and in 
Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 248, not of Blume. 
Tenassertm, Helfer (Kew Distrib. n. 8688); Martaban, alt. 1-2000 ft., rather 
rare, Kurz,—DisTRIB. Sumatra. 
A small tree (Kurz); innovations ashy-pubescent. Ledves 9} by 2} in., shortly 
acuminate, base attenuated, glabrous ; nerves 12 pairs, prominent beneath, secondary 
obseure; petiole 1} in. Panicles 2-4 in., ashy-pubescent; bracts ẹ in., linear, some 
8 in., subfoliaceous, often added ; pedicels often hardly any. Calyx sẹ in., pubescent; 
lobes deep, almost acute. Petals 3-4 in. oblong, margins much incurved. Ovary 
microscopically pilose ; style as long as the ovary, terminated by 2 short lobes. Drupe 
1 in. (Kurz); the fruit in the examples seen is very imperfectly ripe, but seems 
likely to be larger.—Chionanthus macrocarpa, Blume (Mus. Bot. i. 319), has drupes 
14 by 3 in. and obtuse petals, but the leaves and inflorescence are exceedingly like 
the present plant. Kurz supposes the Tenasserim plant to be Chionanthus montana, 
Blume (altered to Ch. monticola in Mus. Bot. i. 317), but the plentiful examples 
communicated show this to be a totally different species with much smaller leaves and 
very small glabrous panicles. 
10. L. minutiflora, Clarke; leaves obovate-oblong subacute, panicles 
compound, calyx nearly glabrous, petals à in. free narrowly oblong. Chionan- 
thus minutiflora, Kurz For. Fl. ii. 159, and in Journ. As, Soe, 1877, pt. ii, 248. 
ManTAnAN Hrs: east of Tounghoo, Brandis. 
Leaves 44 by 1} in., base cuneate, coriaceous ; nerves few, slender, prominent 
beneath, secondary obscure; petiole 4 in. Panicles 3-4 in., minutely ashy-pubescent, 
branches in flower long slender; bracts A in. linear; pedicels hardly any. Calyx 
A in.; lobes ovate, glabrous or puberulous. Ovary glabrous; style very short. 
Drupe not seen.—The examples from Kurz's herbarium are very imperfect ; they 
appear closely allied to Z. laxiflora, Blume (common in Malaya), which has, however, 
a very pubescent calyx. 
11. L. macrophylla, Wall. Cat. 2826 ; leaves large long-petioled oblong 
acute distinctly nerved, panicles compound dense less than one-third as long as 
the leaves glabrous, pedicels 0-3 in., petals 4 in. nearly free oblong, drupe 3 by 
lin. DC. Prodr. vii. 207. Chionanthus macrophylla, Kurz For. F7. ii. 159, 
and in Journ. As, Soc, 1877, pt. ii. 243.
