1. Anacolosa GrEiFFiTHii, Masters in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 580. 

 A glabrous shrub or tree ; young branches dark-coloured, glaucous. 

 Leaves thickly membranous, ovate-lanceolate, sub-acute or acute, the 

 base rounded or sub-cuneate ; main nerves 5 or 6 pairs, obscure on both 

 surfaces, curved, spreading ; length 2*5 to 4 in., breadth 1*2 to 15 in., 

 petiole "35 in. Cymes axillary, few-flowered, sessile or very shortly 

 pedunculate ; pedicels longer than the flowers, angled, ebracteolate, 

 glabrous. Floiver-buds sub-globose. Calyx cupular, minutely 5-or 6- 

 toothed, glabrous. Petals two or three times longer than the calyx, 

 oblong, obtuse, the upper half thick and fleshy, the lower half concave, 

 hairy towards its upper part, otherwise glabi'ous. Stamens embedded in 

 the concavities of the petals, the filaments short, slender ; the anthers sub-

2. Anacolosa puberula, Kurz in Jour. As. Soc. Bengal, 1872, Pt. 2, 

 p. 297. A large shrub; young branches glabrous, dark-coloured, all 

 parts except the inflorescence glabrous. Leaves membranous, oblong- 

 lanceolate, the apex more or less acute, the base slightly narrowed ; 

 main nerves 3 to 5 pairs, distant, ascending, pale and prominent on the 

 lower, faint on the upper surface ; length 3'5 to 5'5 in., breadth 1*5 to 

 2 in., petiole "3 in. Cymes few- or many-flowered, axillary, about as long 

 as the petioles, their rachises conical, woody: pedicels ebracteolate. 

 Calyx cupular, with 6 minute distant teeth, rusty-pubescent outside like 

 the pedicels. Petals 6, in pairs, oblong, the upper half fleshy ; the 

 lower half concave, glabrescent externally, glabrous internally except 

 for a tuft of long hairs at the apex of the concavity. Stamens opposite 

 to and as many as the petals, hidden in their concavities ; the filaments 

 shorter than the anthers, broad, flat ; anthers broadly ovoid, tufted, 

 hairy ; disc large, crenulatC; surrounding the base of the conical sub-
