284 CINNAMOMUMS OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



they are nearly all above 3 inches long, and the under surface is 

 not whitish but green, the same as the upper surface, with the 

 reticulations distinct. 



My species has very little affinity with C. ovaUfolium^ Wight, 

 specimens of which have been kindly sent to me for comparison 

 by Mr. J. C. Willis, M.A., Roj'^al Botanical Gardens, Ceylon. 



I have to tender my thanks to Dr. W. Prain, of the Royal 

 Botanic Gardens, Seebpore, Calcutta, for kindly sending me
