 base of the corolla-lobes and nearly as long as them (-25 in.) ; anthers 

 sagittate-lanceolate with prominent rows of glands on the back, con- 

 nective produced upwards in a membranous tip. Ovary ovoid, glabrous;

This species at first sight resembles A. oxyantha, A. DC, of North-East India, but 

 has smaller and diiierently-veined leaves, with different glands and smaller flowers. 



2. Antistbophe Curtisii, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub (?) ; 

 branchlets round, rusty-glandular-hirsute, zigzag, with faint raised lines 

 from the bases of the petioles of the leaves ; innovations densely rusty- 

 glandular-hirsute. Leaves membranous ; elliptic or elliptic-oblong, acu- 

 minate at apex, rounded at base, entire ; nearly glabrous above except 

 on the midrib, sparsely rusty-hirsute beneath ; 3-5 to 5 in. long, 1-5 

 to 2 in. broad ; midrib slender, raised beneath ; main-nerves about 

 10 pairs, at about an angle of 50° with the midrib, curved upwards, 

 forked and broadly anastomosing near the margin, lowest pair not 

 more oblique than the others ; secondary nerves and reticulations 

 obscure ; petiole "2 in. long, crispedly channelled above. Inflorescence 

 of densely rusty-hirsute, sub-sessile, axillary, 4-6-flowered, umbellate 

 racemes, -1 to '15 in. long ; bracteoles subulate, '05 in. long ; pedicels 

 slender, -3 to "5 in. long; buds caudate-acuminate, '3 in, long. Calyx- 

 lobes linear subulate, •! in. long, densely rusty-hirsute. Corolla-lobes 

 ovate at base, long caudate-acuminate, '3 in. long, scarcely dotted, 

 3-5-nerved, sparsely hirsute without. Stamens rather shorter than the 

 corolla-lobes, connivent in a cone ; anthers sessile, lanceolate sagittate, 

 the back with 2 rows of prominent round or elongate glands, the 

 connective produced in a blunt membranous tip. Ovary ovoid, style 

 slender, as long as anthers. Berry not seen.
