Frutex vel arbor parva, ramulis et subtus foliis perspicue

neis; foliis brevissime petiolatis, subcoriaceis, olivaceis, nitidis, 
oblongo-ovatis ad oblongo-ellipticis, 8 ad 10 cm longis, 2.5 ad 
4.5 cm latis, basi late rotundatis, distincte cordatis, apice acu- 
minatis, supra glabris, nervis distincte impressis, subtus per- 
spicue ferrugineo-villosis praesertim ad costa nervisque, nervis 
utrinque circiter 10, adscendentibus, perspicuis, curvato-anasto- 
mosantibus; petiolo 2 ad 4 mm longo; floribus axillaribus, soli- 
tariis, sessilibus, sepalis persistentibus, lanceolatis, acuminatis, 
7 mm longis, chartaceis, extus dense ferrugineo-villosis ; fructi- 
bus ovoideis, brunneis, nitidis, parce villosis, 10 ad 12 mm longis,

Neg Chi Leng, McClure 8349, December, 1921. On slopes, al- 
titude 650 meters. 
A species resembling in many characters Diospyros eriantha 
Champ. and manifestly allied to it. It is at once distinguishable 
by its longer, more-numerously nerved, cordate leaves which 
are conspicuously ferruginous-villous beneath.

Ng Chi Leng, Kai Fong, and Fong Mok Szee, Hongkong herb. | 
425 (type), 446, McClure 8685. In forested ravines. 
The first specimen cited, in flower, was distributed as a Raw- 
wolfia; the second, in fruit, as a Villaris. McClure’s specimen, 
in fruit, was from forested ravines, altitude 750 meters. The 
species is well characterized by being entirely glabrous, except 
for its puberulent flowers; by its elongated follicles; and by 
its corona being divided into 25 filiform, glabrous, subequal 
segments. It belongs in the group with Wrightia laevis Hook. f.
