gineo-villosis, multifloris, floribus in ramulis ultimis umbellatim 
dispositis; perianthii segmentis ellipticis, rotundatis, 4 mm 
longis, pubescentibus; filamentis dense villosis, antheris 2 mm

Mai Deng and Nodoa, McClure 7957 (type), 7674, October and 
November, 1921. In thickets, altitude about 250 meters. Local 
name pau fa. 
This species is apparently most closely allied to Machilus 
velutina Champ. differing in its much longer inflorescences, 
fewer-nerved, less-pubescent leaves, longer petioles, and num- 
erous other characters. 
PHOEBE HAINANENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 8 m alta, ramulis leviter sulcatis, circiter 
4 mm diametro; foliis plus minusve confertis, subcoriaceis, lan- 
ceolatis ad oblanceolatis vel oblongo-oblanceolatis, 17 ad 28 cm 
longis, 4.5 ad 7 cm latis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, apice 
subcaudato-acuminatis, basi cuneatis, supra subolivaceis, nitidis, 
subtus paullo pallidioribus, nervis utrinque 9 ad 11, adscenden- 
tibus, subtus perspicuis; petiolo 2.5 ad 4 cm longo; inflorescentiis 
13 ad 17 cm longis, longe pedunculatis, paucifioris; perianthii 
segmentis ovatis, obtusis, coriaceis, glabris, 4 mm longis; fruc- 
tibus junioribus oblongis, obtusis, usque ad 1.7 cm longis, circiter 
8 mm diametro. 
Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8589, December 21, 1921. In forested 
ravines, altitude 700 meters. 
The present species is allied to Phoebe cuneata Blume and 
P. lanceolata Nees, among other characters being easily distin- 
guished from both by its longer leaves and much longer petioles, 
and from the former by being quite glabrous. 
CRYPTOCARYA HAINANENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 15 m alta, inflorescentiis exceptis glabra, 
ramulis tenuibus, castaneis vel nigricantibus; foliis penninerviis, 
lanceolatis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, acuminatis, basi 
acutis, in siccitate olivaceis, utrinque concoloribus vel subtus 
paullo pallidioribus, 9 ad 11 cm longis, 2 ad 3 cm latis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 6, subtus perspicuis, curvato-adscendentibus, 
pagina inferiore distincte foveolatis; floribus ignotis; fructibus 
ellipsoideis vel obovoideis, in siccitate nigricantibus, circiter 2.5 
cm longis, 1.5 ad 2 cm diametro, glabris, nitidis, leviter rugosis, 
obscure longitudinaliter sulcatis. 
Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8707, December 20, 1921. On forested 
slopes, altitude 700 meters, known to the Lois as chai kan koon.
