Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 145 



crisped-crenulate with large glands in the crenulations ; pale and glab- 

 rous on both surfaces ; glandular dots scattered, in the areoles of 

 the reticulations; 4 to 6 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad; midrib promi- 

 nent, somewhat impressed above ; main-nerves about 12 to 14 pairs, 

 irregular and irregularly spaced, usually starting at an angle of about 

 60° with the midrib, at first straight, branching and joining in an 

 intramarginal nerve close to the margin and passing through the 

 crenature glands ; secondary nerves many, slender, reticulations many, 

 curved; petiole '4 to -6 in. long, winged by the decurrent margins 

 of the blade. Inflorescence an almost sessile terminal corymb, com- 

 posed of long-peduncled sub-umbellate racemes ; peduncles 1 to 1"5 in. ; 

 pedicels -5 to -8 in. long ; buds conical -25 in. long. Calyx-lobes oblong, 

 obtuse, thin, -075 in. long, conspicuously dark-brown-gland-dotted; tube 

 short. Corolla-lobes ovate, bluntly acuminate, oblique, unequal, con- 

 spicuously marked by few dark brown lines and dots, '3 in. long ; tube 

 very short. Stamens shorter than corolla-lobes, -2 in. long, obtusely 

 hastate; anthers opening by broad longitudinal slits, conspicuously 

 black-gland-dotted on back ; filaments short. Ovary rounded, style 

 slender, -2 in. long. Berry globose, pale, somewhat depressed, "3 to 

 •4 in. in diam., conspicuously marked with round or oblong purple 

 dots, somewhat fleshy. Clarke in Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. III. 524 ; Stapf

35. Aedisia Weayi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A single-stemmed 

 treelefc or shrub reaching 5 feet in height, but usually smaller ; upper 

 part of stem -25 in. thick, brown, with spongy bark and scurfy scales ; 

 leaf -buds glabrous, lanceolate-acuminate. Leaves membranous ; oblong- 

 lanceolate, long acuminate at apex, long cuneate at base ; margins re- 

 curved ; somewhat scaly on both surfaces, scurfy along the midrib 

 beneath; glandular dots prominent scattered; broadly crenate, the crena- 

 tures shallow with large glands ; deep green above, red or purple beneath ; 

 6 to 10 in. long, 1-5 to 3 in. broad ; midrib slender ; main-nerves 

 12 to 20 pairs, irregular in angle and distance, curving upwards to and 

 along the margin where they or their branches end in the glands of the 

 crenatures ; secondary nerves few, reticulations many scarcely pro- 

 minent ; petiole "7 to 1-3 in. long, somewhat flattened, bordered by the 

 decurrent margins of the blade. Inflorescence of glabrous sub-umbellate 

 racemes from the axils of the uppermost leaves, usually crowded so as 

 to present almost the appearance of a terminal cluster ; peduncles 

 usually "5 in. long, occasionally shorter but often longer, even up to 

 2 in., flattened ; racemes very short, much marked by the scars of very
