integris, margine revolutis, subcoriaceis, breviter obtuse acumi- 

 natis retusisque, basi obtusis vel subacutis, nervis utrinque cir- 

 citer 12, supra leviter impressis, subtus cum reticulis valde 

 prominentibus ; stipulis inaequimagnis, coriaceis, orbiculari- 

 reniformibus, rotundatis, 1 ad 2 cm diametro; spicis s e axillis 

 defoliatis, ferrugineo-pubescentibus, usque ad 2.5 cm longis, 

 sepalis 4, 0.5 mm longis, staminibus 2, rariter 3. 



A shrub or tree, quite glabrous except the ferruginous- 

 pubescent inflorescence. Branches terete, grayish, smooth. 

 Leaves narrowly oblong, subcoriaceous, pale brownish olivaceous, 

 of the same color on both surfaces and rather strongly shining 

 when dry, apex abruptly and shortly broad-acuminate, the acu- 

 men retuse, base obtuse to subacute, margins entire, revolute; 

 lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, somewhat 

 impressed on the upper surface, very prominent on the lower 

 surface, as are the lax primary reticulations, curved, arched- 

 anastomosing; petioles thickened at the apex, 1.5 to 2 cm long; 

 stipules orbicular or orbicular-reniform, equilateral, rounded, 

 coarsely reticulate, in texture, color, etc., similar to the leaves, 

 rounded, margins revolute, base cordate, clasping the branchlets, 

 1 to 2 cm in diameter, those of each pair unequal in size, one 

 about one-half as large as the other. Male spikes in the axils 

 of fallen leaves, fascicled, few in each fascicle, up to 2.5 cm in 

 length. Flowers about 1 mm in diameter, the sepals 4, about 0.5 

 mm long, elliptic-obovate or elliptic, rounded, very sligthly pu- 

 bescent; stamens 2, rarely 3. 



Sarawak, Upper Baram, Selungo, Native collector 2823 (Bur. Sci.), 

 November 26, 1914 (original number 75). 



A species manifestly belonging in the same group as Aporosa lunata 

 Kurz, but with entirely glabrous leaves and branchlets, and entirely 

 different stipules, which are orbicular to orbicular-reniform, rounded, cor- 

 date, equilateral, not at all falcate, pointed, or semicordate as in Kurz's 

 species. 



APOROSA HOSE I sp. nov. 



Frutex vel arbor partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque exceptis 

 glabra ; foliis oblongis, integris, coriaceis, acuminatis, basi rotun- 

 datis ad obtusis interdum obscure subcordatis, usque ad 20 cm 

 longis, glabris, nervis utrinque 8 ad 10, curvato-adscendentibus, 

 subtus prominentibus; stipulis lunatis, falcatis, acuminatis, cir- 

 citer 1 cm longis; inflorescentiis s fulvo-tomentosis, 2 ad 3 cm 

 longis, floribus 5-meris, pedicellatis, ovario subglabro; floribus 

 $ sessilibus, sepalis 3, obtusis, staminibus 2, longe exsertis. 



A shrub or tree, glabrous except the very young tips of the 

 branchlets and the inflorescences, which are fulvous-pubescent
