and the petals markedly unequal-sided. They are solitary in the upper axils or pseudo- 
terminal. The above species, together with M. megacalyz, Merr., form a transition 
between the genera Medinilla and Carionia.

The branches are terete, somewhat angled above, with a light-coloured bark. The 
lateral nerves branch. from the midrib 5-8 mm. from the base, the longitudinal nerves 
being connected by transverse slender nerves. The cymes are pseudo-umbelliform and 
few-flowered, and the flowers pentamerous. 
Allied to M. laurifolia, Blume. It differs from JM. alata, Bak. fiL, in its shorter 
peduneles and smaller leaves,

vel 10, :equalia, connectivo antice calearato. Stylus filiformis. Bacca ignota. 
Camp VII, 3600 ft. In flower April 12th, 1913. 
This species is noticeable on account of the sessile leaves with red veins. The flowers 
are in a terminal panicle, which is shorter than the leaves and 6-20-flowered. -
