Distribution: Malay Peninsula as far north as Penang; Archipelago from Sumatra to 
Borneo. 
Beccari's specimens, nos. 767, 878, 1189, 3922, all from Sarawak, belong also to 
this species. 
EMBELIA PHAADENTA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex. Rami ramulique graciles, novelli dense 
ferrugineo-hirtelli, demum plus minusve glabrati, cortice pallide badio. Folia 
petiolo 2 lin. longo suffulta, ovata vel ovato-oblonga, $ -14 poll. longa, interdum 
multo minora, basi rotunda vel breviter lateque acutata, apice obtuse acuminata, 
rarius obtusa, sub apice pauci-crenata vel subintegra, firme membranacea, pallide 
viridia, glanduloso-punctata, glandulis luce permissá rubiginosis, nervis lateralibus 
primariis utrinque 5-8, secondariis interjectis cum venulis in reticulationem 
gracillimam, densissimam, utrinque prominulam intertextis. ^ Racemuli axillares, 
pauciflori, ssepe 1-2-flori, 2 lin. longi; bractese minute, ferrugineo-furfuracesm. 
Pedicelli gracillimi, 1% lin. longi. Calyx fere ad basin 4-partitus, ł lin. dimetiens ; 
segmenta ovata subacuta, glandulosa et furfuracea vel glabrata. Fructus ellipsoideo- 
globosus, 13 lin. longus, pallide badius, sub vertice rubiginoso-glandulosus; stylus 
filiformis, } lin. longus, diu persistens. 
At 6000 feet (Haviland, 1203). 
A very fine and distinct species, allied to E. Gardneriana, Wight, and E. Myrtillus, 
Kurz. The glands are most conspicuous in transparent light. 
EMBELIA MINUTIFOLIA, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex. Rami ramulique dense ferruginei. 
Folia petiolo gracili 1 lin. longo vel breviore suffulta, obovata, 2 lin. longa, 1} lin. 
lata, basi breviter cuneata, apice rotundata et minute crenulata, coriacea, glabra, 
minute punctata, subenervia. Racemuli axillares, valde redacti, sspe uniflori; 
rhachis ferruginea, brevissima, bracteata; bracteze congestee, minute. Pedicelli 
graciles, 1 lin. longi. Calyx fere ad basin 4-partitus; segmenta ovata, sub apice 
elanduloso-punctata, preetereaque minute glanduloso-ciliolata, 1 lin. longa. Corolla 
ignota. Ovarium ovoideum, sparse glanduloso-pilosulum, in stylum 1}-plo longi- 
orem abiens. Bacca globosa, paulo ultra 1 lin. dimetiens. 
At 8500 feet (Haviland, 1117). 
Closely allied to E. Myrtillus, Kurz, but differing in the smallness of all parts and 
the shape of the leaves, probably also in the habit, for it seems to be of a stiffer and 
spreading growth. 
EMBELIA SPIRAOIDES, Stapf, n. sp. Frutex glaberrimus. Rami graciles, noveili badii, 
demum cinerascentes, lenticellis albidis conspersi. Folia petiolo 3 lin. longo 
suffulta, elliptica, vel ovato- vel obovato-elliptica, 3-14 poll. longa, 6-8 lin. lata, 
basi acutata, apice obtusa vel rotundata, rarius subacuta, a medio ad apicem crenato- 
dentata, coriacea, supra olivacea, subtus pallidiora, subglauca, et punctulis minutis 
preetereaque glandulis majoribus luce transmissá vix rubiginosis notata, nervis latera- 
libus utrinque 7-8, cum venis venulisque in reticulationem densam, gracillimam,
