A tall tree, glabrous throughout except the inlloresence. Branches 

 terete, lenticellate, brownish. Leaves alternate, oblong, 18 to 25 cm 

 long, 5 to 9 cm wide, coriaceous, shining, the apex rather broadly 

 acuminate, the base acute or rounded, about the same color on both 

 surfaces; nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, rather prominent, 

 curved-ascending, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations beneath dense, 

 distinct; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary and terminal, 

 about as long as the leaves, many flowered, the rachis and branches 

 somewhat pubescent. Flowers white, 4 mm long, pedicellate, the pedicels 

 pubescent, 1 to 2 mm long, with three small bracteoles at the apex. 

 Calyx-tube cylindric, sulcate, pubescent, 1.5 to 2 mm long, the perianth- 

 lobes 6, subequal, pubescent, oblong-obovate, acute or obtuse, 2 mm long.

Cryptocarya glauca sp. nov. 



Arbor; foliis alternis, coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis vel elliptico-lanceolatis, 

 usque ad 13 cm longis, 5 cm latis, supra brunneis, glabris, nitidis, snbtua

 pubescentibus, foliis aequalibus vel longioribus vel interdum brevioribus. 



A tree, more or less pubescent. Branches terete, reddish-brown 

 glabrous, lenticellate, the branchlets ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves 

 alternate, coriaceous, oblong-ovate or elliptic-lanceolate, the apex shortly 

 and obtusely acuminate, the base acute, 7 to 13 cm long, 2 to 5 cm wide, 

 the upper surface dark- or pale-brown, glabrous, shining, the lower surface 

 glaucous, somewhat ferruginous-pubescent, ultimately glabrous or nearly 

 so; nerves prominent on the lower surface, brown, about 8 on each side 

 of the midrib, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations not very distinct,
