convex and strong ; main nerves 24 to 36 pairs, spreading, only sliglitly 

 carved, projecting on the lower surface, depressed on the upper; length 

 7 to 15 in., breadth 35 to 5-5 in. ; petiole 1*25 to 25 in., tomentose, 

 dilated at the base. Panicles of male flowers axillary, slender, shorter 

 than the leaves, rusty stellate-tomentose ; the branches only a few inches 

 long, spreading, spicate, bearing the flowers in small crowded sessile 

 glomeruli. Flowers about "05 in. in diam., sessile. Calyx thick, cupular, 

 cut into 4 broad sub-acute concave ovate-rotund segments, rusty- 

 tomentose outside. Petals 4, a little exceeding the calyx, thin, pale, 

 glabrous, elliptic-ovate, concave. Stamens 4 or 8, in two rows • 

 filaments thickly subulate, anthers short ; disc crenate, fleshy. Panicle 

 of female flowers shorter atid less branched than that of the males.

This species was first named as a Campnosperma by Marchand 

 in 1869, and he based his description of it on Griffith's Malacca specimen 

 No. 1109. The plant had previously ( 1850) been named Buchanania 

 tnacrophylla by Blume in Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. I, 185. Had Marchand 

 known this, he ought to have named it Campnosperma macrophylla 

 instead of C. Griffithii, It is easily recognised by its sessile glomeru- 

 late flowers; although its fruit closely resembles that of the plant which 

 is accepted as G. Gri^thii both by Sir Joseph Hooker and by Dr. 

 Engler, but which is here named G. Wallichii. 



2. Campnosperma auriculata, Hook. fil. in Fl. Br. Ind. II 41. 

 A tall shrubby tree: young branches as thick ns a swan's quill, glabrous 

 polished, lenticellate. Leaves thinly coriaceous, obovate-oblonc or ob- 

 lanceolate-oblong, the apex rounded sometimes retuse or emaro-inate 

 tapered gradually in the lower two-thirds and continued down the 

 petiole as a wing to its slightly auricled base ; both surfaces glabrous 

 minutely reticulate ; main nerves 9 to 18 pairs, oblique, not prominent on 

 either surface ; length 4 to 9 in., breadth 175 to 3 in. ; petiole below the 

 auricles only "1 or 2 in., glabrous. PAificzES of 3IALE flowers 10 to 14 in. 

 long, axillary, covered with scurfy minute stellate rusty tomentum ; the 

 branches slender and with numerous many-flowered branchlets. Flowers 

 pedicellate, "15 in. in diam. when expanded. Calyx cupular, puberuloua 

 outside, with 4 broadly triangular segments. Petals 4, twice as lono- as 

 the calyx-teeth, elliptic, obtuse, deflexed. Stamens 8 ; four longer than 

 the others, spreading and longer than the petals, the other 4 shorter. Disc
