1. Ctbnolophon parvifolids, Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXVIII, 



516, t. 43. A tree; young branches terete, purplish when fresh, cinere- 

 ous when dry. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, elliptic or oblong-elliptic, 

 entire, shortly and obtusely acuminate, the base cuneate or rounded ; 

 upper surface shining, the lower dull, both glabrous ; main nerves 

 about 10 pairs, faint, spreading, forming a double series of arches 

 within the edge ; length 2*5 to 4"5 in., breadth 1*25 to 2 in., petiole "3 

 to "6 in. Panicles terminal and axillary, shorter than the leaves, con- 

 densed, minutely cano-tomentose ; bracts ovoid-deltoid, minute, decidu- 

 ous ; pedicels stout, about as long as the calyx. Floivers "2 to '25 in. 

 long, oblong. Calyx-lobes sub-rotund, concave, minutely tomentose 

 outside, sub-glabrous inside. Petals coriaceous, erect, oblong, concave, 

 four times as long as the calyx, minutely pale tomentose on the back, 

 the imbricate edges and inner surface glabrous. Anthers ovate, adnate, 

 much shorter than the filaments. Ovary ovoid-globose, woolly, 2-celled, 

 surrounded at the base by an annular disc : style long, cylindric, glabrous, 

 2-furrowed. Fruit ellipsoid, slightly obovoid, apiculate, striate, "6 to 

 •75 in. long, minutely pale tomentose ; the pericarp woody, splitting on 

 one side when ripe. Seeds with an imperfect pectinate ai'illus. Masters 

 in Hook. fil. El. Br. Ind. I, 579 : Beccari, Malesia I, 120.

2. Ctenolophon GRANDIFOLIUS, Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXVIII, 



517, t. 43, figs. 8 to 10. A tree; the young branches pale, sparsely 

 lenticellate. Leaves oblong-elliptic, shortly acuminate, 3*5 to 5 in. long 

 and 1*5 to 1*75 in. broad, otherwise as in 0. parvifolitis. Panicles ter- 

 minal or axillary, almost as long as the leaves, more or less open and 

 spreading, minutely rusty-tomentose ; bracts scale-like, caducous ; pedi- 

 cels longer than the calyx. Floivers "4 in. long. Calyx and petals as in 

 C. parvifolins, but rufous- instead of pale-tomentose. Ovary as in C. 



parvifoUus, but the ovarian cavity shorter. Fruit unknown. Masters 

 in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 577. Beccari, Malesia I, 120.

This species is much rarer than the last. In fact I have seen no 

 other specimens than Maingay's. It closely resembles C. parvifoUus 

 Oliver., the only tangible differences that I can discover (in the absence
