210 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



puberulous externally, lined inside with dense white hairs : seeds 2, 

 black, sliining. 



Perak : Wray, No. 2618 and 3266 ; King's collector, No. 7489. 



A very distinct species, lecognisable afc once by its long and com- 

 paratively large leaflets, small cymes, and large cocci. 



6. EvODiA riLULiFEBA, King n. sp. A shrub 10 to 15 feet high : 

 young branches rather slender, flattened at the nodes, minutely tawny- 

 tonientose, the bark pale. Leaves 3-foliolate, the petiole 3 to 4'25 in. 

 lono-, terete, grooved in front, deciduously tawny-tomentose ; leaflets 

 thinly coriaceous, petiolulate, oblong-elliptic, tapering to each end, the 

 apex shortly acuminate, the base very narrow ; both surfaces glabrous, 

 the lower paler when dry : main nerves 9 or 10 pairs, oblique, interarch- 

 ing boldly well within the edge, prominent on the lower, depressed 

 on the upper surface wlien dry ; length 3*5 to 8 in, ; breadth r25 to 

 2*75 in. ; petiolule "15 to 'l in,, the middle leaflet rather larger than the 

 luteral. Gymes everywhere tawny-tomentose, axillary, on long peduncles ; 

 the branches few, opposite, each bearing towards the apex a few dense 

 sub-globose masses of flowers. Floivers less than 1 in. long. Sepals 

 ovate, acute, densely tawny-tomentose. Petals glabrous. Ovary villous. 

 Cocci sliglitly compressed, ovoid, blunt, minutely tawny-tomentose 

 outside, the interior glabrous, '2 in. long. Seed solitary, shining. 



Perak : Scortechini, No. 360 ; Wray, No. 2995 ; King's collector, 

 No. 6275. 



This species is readily distinguished by its minutely tomentoso 

 few-branched cymes, each bearing a few densely crowded heads of small 

 flowers. 



7. EvoDiA PACHYPHYi.LA, King n. sp. A small tree 10 to 15 feet 

 high ; young branches flattened at the nodes, minutely rufous-tomentose, 

 as are the petiole, under surfaces of the midribs and peduncles of the 

 cymes. Leaves 3-foliolate, the petiole 2'5 to 3 in. long: leaflets very 

 coriaceous, oval to elliptic, obtuse or sub-acute, the base slightly cuneate, 

 the edges revolute when dry ; upper surface glabrous, shining, the 

 lower pale, glaucous ; main nerves 8 to 12 pairs, sub-horizontal, curving 

 slightly, interarching within the edge, slightly prominent on the lower 

 surface when diy, the midrib very bold ; length 2*25 to 3'75 in., breadth 

 1'2 to 225 in., petiolule '35 to "5 in. Cymes axillary, pedunculate, 

 the branches few, short, close together ; peduncles 1 to 1*5 in. long. 

 Fhioers 25 in. long, in dense sub-globular masses. Sepals broadly 

 ovate, acute, olivaceous- tomentose externally, glabrous internally. 

 Petals erect, ovate-lanceolate, pubescent on both surfaces, the edges 

 glabrous. Stamens not exserted. Ovary glabrous. Cocci 2 or 3 from 

 each flower, sub-compressed, ovate, blunt, pale and puberulous exter- 

 nally, glabrous within. Seed solitary, black, shining.
