3. Myesine peeakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree ; branchlets 

 thick, smooth, wrinkled when dry, terminal leaf-buds lanceolate. Leaves 

 entire, coriaceous ; oblong, bluntly acute at apex, narrowed at the base, 

 glabrous, shining above, margins recurved, glandular dots many, in- 

 conspicuous ; 4 to 5 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib thick, very 

 prominent ; main-nerves 20 to 26 pairs, prominent above, at about two- 

 thirds of a right angle with the midrib, parallel at first, arching afterwards 

 to meet near the margin ; secondary nerves similar but more slender, 

 reticulations prominent; petiole -Sin. long, very thick, winged by the de- 

 current margins of the blade. Floicers in compact sessile umbels on the 

 summit of a thick, cone-like, bracteate, arrested branch about '1 in. long, 

 in the axils of the leaves or below them on the current year's wood, 

 so forming a thick cluster below the terminal leaves : umbels 6-8- 

 tiowered, pedicels -15 to -2 in. long, thick and angular when dry; bracts 

 ovate, scaly, sometimes ciliate. Calyx-lobes ovate acute, glandular- 

 ciliate, about "05 in. long, cilise jointed. Corolla and Stamens unknown.

 minute, ti-iangular ; peduncles "3 to "5 in. long ; rays of umbel 3 to 4,
