12, planis, anguste ovoideis, utrinque sulcatis, nitidis, 6 mm 
longis; sepalis persistentibus, margine leviter ciliatis. 
A glabrous tree, size not indicated. Branches terete, reddish- 
brown or grayish, smooth. Leaves coriaceous, entire oblong- 
elliptic, 12 to 15 cm long, 4 to 6.5 cm wide, subequally narrowed 
at both ends, the base acute, the apex very broadly, shortly, and 
bluntly acuminate, the upper surface pale-olivaceous when dry, 
the lower brownish, paler, both slightly shining and very minutely 
puncticulate, glabrous; lateral nerves about 15 on each side of 
the midrib, slender, rather distinct, about equally prominent on 
both surfaces, anastomosing, forming a double row of arches, 
the reticulations lax, indistinct; petioles stout, about 1 cm long. 
Flowers not seen, the pedicels in fruit stout, 2 to 2.5 cm long, 
the persistent calyx lobes coriaceous, at first apparently some- 
what pubescent, becoming quite or nearly glabrous, the outer 
two smaller than the inner three which are more or less reni- 
form, entire or nearly so, somewhat reniform or very broadly 
rounded-ovate, about 8 mm wide, margins deciduously ciliate, in 
age glabrous or nearly so. Fruit ovoid, about 1.5 cm long, 
smooth, brown, somewhat shining, entirely glabrous, 2-celled, the 
pericarp rather thick, dry and brittle in texture. Seeds 10 to 
12, brown, shining, flattened, narrowly obovoid, rounded at the 
apex, about 6 mm long, longitudinally grooved along the middle 
of both faces.

A species manifestly closely allied to the Malayan Adinandra acuminata 
Korth., from which it differs in its differently shaped, very broadly and 
obtusely acuminate, more numerously nerved leaves, longer petioles, and 
other characters. 
ADINANDRA LOHERI sp. nov. 
Arbor, gemmis petalis staminibusque exceptis glabra; foliis 
ellipticis, coriaceis, usque ad 10 cm longis, basi decurrento-acumi- 
natis, apice late rotundatis ad brevissime late acuminatis, mar- 
gine crenulatis vel denticulato-crenulatis, subtus obscurissime 
glanduloso-maculatis, nervis utrinque tenuibus, distinctis, circiter 
15; floribus 5-meris; sepalis glabris; petalis extus in partibus 
medianus villosis, 1.8 cm longis; staminibus circiter 50, leviter 
hirsutis; ovario 5-loculare, glaber. 
A tree, quite glabrous except the vegetative buds and some 
parts of the flowers. Branches terete, grayish or dark-colored, 
the young branchlets reddish-brown, the vegetative buds pale- 
villous. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic, 6 to 10 cm long, 3.5 to 5
