 3a. Chailletia setosa, King, n. sp. A slender creeper; youno- 

 branches and under surfaces of leaves with long yellow bristly liairs. 

 Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, acuminate, the base narrowed to the 

 very short petiole ; upper surface shining, with scattered bulbous-based 

 bristles most numerous on the midrib near its base ; lower surface of 

 a yellowish-olivaceous colour, much reticulate ; main nerves 9 or 10 

 pairs, eurving upwai'ds, very prominent and bristly on the lower surface 

 less so on the upper ; length 6 to 8"5 in., breadth 2 to 325 in. ; petiole 

 •15 in. long, densely hispid. Cymes axillary, very short, often in pairs, 4- 

 to 6-flowered, atmost sessile. Flowers "2 in. long. Sepals oblong, blunt 

 very concave, much imbricate, densely pale-tomentose outside, glabres- 

 cent inside. Petals shorter than sepals, oblong-obovate, the apex with 

 2 rounded concave lobes, quite glabrous. Stamens as long as the petals,

 Perak : King's Collector, No. 10429. 



A species closely allied to C. Griffithii, Hook. fil. ; but with larger 

 leaves of thicker texture and very much more hispid. 



5a. Chailletia tesselata. King, n. sp. A slender woody climber, 

 10 to 15 feet long : young branches glabrous, shining, the bark black 

 when dry. Leaves coriaceous, more or less broadly elliptic or elliptic- 

 oblong with a short sub-acute often abrupt apical point ; narrowed in 

 the lower fourth to the petiole, the edge slightly recurved: both surfaces 

 quite glabrous, the upper shining with numerous very minute black 

 dots, the lower tesselate-reticulate : main nerves 6 or 7 pairs, spreadino-, 

 much curved upwards and forming wide arches far from the edo-e, 

 prominent on the lower surface ; length 45 to 5 in., breadth 2-5 to 3 

 in. ; petiole '4 in. long, rough when dry and with transverse ridges, 

 puberulous. Cymes axillary, in pairs, shortly pedunculate, much- 

 branched, many-flowered, minutely yellowish-tomentose, from "5 to 1 

 in. in diam. Sepals oblong, obtuse, tomentose on the outer surface, 

 glabrous on the inner. Petals glabrous, obovate, sub-acute, deeply bifid at 

 the apex, the lobes oblanceolate. Stamens longer than the petals, exsertcd 



glabrous, the broad oi'bicular connective bearing the narrow anther 



cell on its edge ; the /Zawen^s thick. Ovary ovoid, covered with white
