and that other name I propose to make G. Wallichii, in commemoration 

 of its earliest collector. 



3. Campnosperma Walltchii, King. A tall much-branched tree : 

 young branches very stout, rough. Leaves coriaceoas, the blade obovate- 

 oblong with broad rounded and sometimes emarginate apex, tapering 

 from about the middle downwards, forming a narrow wing to the 

 petiole and expanding at its base into a small auincle ; both surfaces 

 glabrous and minutely reticulate ; main nerves 20 to 30 paii-s ; length 

 10 to 30 in., breadth 4 to 7 in. ; petiole 2 to 8 in. long, dilated, chan- 

 nelled, glabrous. Paniclss of male flowers axillary, shorter than the 

 leaves, stellately rusty- torn entose, with slender much-branched sub- 

 erect many-flowered branchlets. Malejloivers 'I in. in diam., pedicelled ; 

 calyx thick, puberulous outside, its segments 4, broadly triangular, 

 blunt ; petals 4, larger than the calyx segments, ovate-rotund, concave, 

 glabrous ; disc fleshy, corrugated : stamens 8 in two rows, the outer 4 

 slightly longer than the inner 4. Panicles OF male flowers about the 

 same length as those of the male, but with shorter branches and fewer 

 flowers ; flowers larger than the males ; ovary ovoid, puberulous ; drupe 

 ovoid -globular, slightly compressed, glabrous, "2 to '25 in. long. G.

This is in general appearance very like C. auriculata. The great 

 difference between the two lies in the fruit which in this is only about 

 •2 in. long, while in M. auriculata it is *6 in. in diam. Other distinctions 

 are to be found in the leaves, which in this are larger than in G. auri- 

 culata. The texture and venation are, however, the same in both ; and 

 both have curious small rounded auricles at the base of the petiole. The 

 panicles of male and female flowers in this species are sub -equal, 

 whereas in M. auriculata tlie panicles bearing male flowers are several 

 times longer than these bearing females. 



10. MiCROSTEMON, Engler. 



Trees, with alternate exstipulate unequally-pinnate leaves. Floioers 

 small, in axillary many-branched panicles, hermaphrodite. Calyx small, 

 with 5 imbricate segments. Petals 5, much larger than the calyx, 

 obovate, spreading, imbricate in a3stivation. Disc annular, suberect, 

 lO-toothed. tStamens 5, alternating with an equal number of capitellate,
