38 JOURNAL OF THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM [vol. v 



This is nearest to Ekretia serrata, but the color of the twigs is different. 

 I saw specimens 1 taken from a tree cultivated in the Botanic Garden, at 

 Buitenzor^, Java. It seems different from either E. serrata or E. acuminata, 

 hut the material is not sufficient to decide this. According to F. Mueller 

 (1. c.) the leaves of E. acuminata are deciduous, but I think this is a mistake. 

 The flowering specimens in the Arnold Arboretum Herbarium were col- 

 lected in the garden of Palace Grounds of Sydney in April and the fruiting 

 specimen on the Blackall Range in January. They show that the flowers 

 appear in autumn and fruit ripens in summer, the leaves remaining 

 through the winter.
