COLLECTED BY MR. ALEXANDER WHYTE. 43 
MYRICA PILULIFERA, Rendle, sp. n.  Arborescens; foliis breviter petiolatis, ellipticis, 
acutis, serratis integrisve, uninerviis, supra leevibus, infra minute farinosis ; fructibus 
globosis in spicis axillaribus, sesquilineis; pericarpio papilloso; endocarpio duro. 
Shoots of previous years woody, strongly marked with ridges decurrent from the 
prominent leaf-scar, and with conspicuous lenticels ; that of the present year farinose. 
Leaves shortly petiolate, elliptic, aeute, serrate, one-nerved, glabrous and smooth 
above except for a few scattered hairs on the midrib, minutely farinose beneath; the 
lower leaves of a shoot are much smaller, with an entire margin ; the larger leaves are 
from 2-23 in. long, by 8-10 lines broad. Fruit on numerous spikes seated in the axils 
of the insertion of last year's leaves, all of which have fallen, globular, 12 lines in 
diameter; pericarp of papillze with a waxy excretion ; endocarp hard, globular. 
Near Myrica salicifolia, Hochst., but differs in the regular shape and serration of the 
normal leaves, the smaller fruit, and the spherical endocarp, that of M. salicifolia being 
subovate or pyriform. The lenticels are also very large and characteristic.

EULOPHIA LONGISEPALA, Rendle, sp. n. Herba caule tenui, sesquipedali, laxe paucifloro ; 
braeteis brunneis, brevibus, ovatis, acutis, pedicello perbrevi multo longioribus; 
sepalis longis, fere uncialibus, clavatis, apiculatis, petala longe excedentibus; 
petalis cuneato-spathulatis, apiculatis; labello trilobo; lobis lateralibus majoribus 
ad columnam ascendentibus, rotundatis, integris, venis prominentibus ; lobo terminali 
oblato, emarginato, margine crispo, verrucis lamelliformibus in venis mediis suffulto ; 
calcare robusto, brevi, recurvato ; columna clavata, erecta, supra alata. 
The slender peduncle, 13 ft. long, bears a few almost sessile flowers arranged laxly 
in the axils of short bracts 2 lines long. The narrow clavate sepals are 11 lines long, 
nearly twice the length of the broader more spathulate petals, which are 6 lines long by 
12 lines broad. The lateral lobes of the lip are 5 lines long, with thickened projecting 
lateral veins; the shortened terminal lobe is 23 lines long by 5 broad, bearing a double 
row of projecting lamelliform calli on the central veins. The short recurved spur is 
about 4 in. long. The erect column, broadly winged above, is 3 lines long, 4 line broad 
at the base, 1 line above. 
Near E. Petersii, Reichb. f., but at once distinguished by its slender clavate sepals much 
exceeding the petals; E. Petersii has also a broader, more ligulate. petal, and a much 
narrower lip. Apparently, from the description, allied to Æ. Meleagris, Reichb. f., which 
has very unequal sepals and petals, but a many-(17-18-)flowered raceme, much shorter 
oblong-lanceolate sepals, shorter, ovate-acute, irregularly denticulate petals, and a 
differently shaped lip.
