to 8 in., breadth 15 to 2 in., petiole '25 in.; stipules ovate, only •! in. 

 long. Racemes axillary, and on the older branches from the axils of 

 fallen leaves, numerous, rather dense when young, afterwards sparse 

 and open, from '7b to 1*5 in. long, bracteoles linear, pedicels as long as 

 or longer than the flowers. Sepals ovate, equal, pubescent or glabrous. 

 Petals lanceolate with linear blunt apex, longer than the sepals, glabi'ous, 

 or pubescent along the midrib externally. iS/a^news glabrous, the filaments 

 as long as the rather deep disc. Anthers broadly ovate, the base cordate, 

 almost sub-reniform, the cells each with an apical point and with a broad 

 membranous ovate acute dorsal appendage wider than the anther. Ovary 

 sessile, pubescent ; the style cylindric, glabrous ; the stigma cup-shaped, 

 truncate. Capsule ovoid, compressed, obtusely angled, glabrous, reticu- 

 late, "5 in. long ; the valves unequal, obtuse, compressed, sub-falcate ; seeds 

 sub-globose, pale, minutely mottled at the apex, the base with a papillate 

 pitted caruncle. 



Perak; at low elevations, Scortechini, Wray, King's Collector. 



A tree from 20 to 30 feet in height; readily distinguished by it.<3 

 open, comparatively long, racemes. This closely resembles Blame's 

 Prosthesia Javanica. 



6. A. WiiAYi, King, n. sp. A sub-glabrous shrub, the branchlets 

 with pale brown puberulous bark, I'arely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, 

 glabrous, shining, shortly petiolate, oblanceolate, shortly acuminate, 

 distinctly serrulate, narrowed to the base, length 3'5 to 45 rarely 6 to 

 7 in., breadth J to 2 in., petiole "1 to 2 in. ; stipules linear, only •! in. 

 long. Racemes very short, crowded, axillary or exti-a-axillary, '25 in. 

 long ; bracteoles broiidly ovate, pubescent. Sepals lanceolate, totnentose 

 externally. Petals oblong, obtuse, thickened and tomentose along the 

 midrib. Stamens from the inside of a disc which is as deep as the 

 filaments are long. Anther ovate-cordate, with a dorsal, ovate-acute, 

 membranous appendage as broad as itself, and a terminal apical process 

 on each cell. Ovary sessile, densely villous as is the base of the 

 cylijidric style; stigma sub-capitate. C(/psuZe minutely fulvous-velvety 

 when young, glabrous when old, ovoid with obtuse angles, 125 in. 

 or more long and '75 in. in diam. ; the valves blunt, narrow. Seeds 

 ovoid, brown, mottled, with a sub-apical papillate pitted caruncle. 



Perak; at low elevations; Scortechini, Wray, King's Collector. 



A shrub 8 to 10 feet high. In respect of leaves veiy like 

 A. Uookeriana, but smaller. The very short racemes, more hairj' flowers 

 and larger velvety capsnles distinguish it, however, fiom thnt species. 



7. A. ciNEREA, King, n. sp. A glabrous shrub or small tree, the 

 branchlets whitish, sparsely lenticellate. iearesmembranous, elliptic-ovate 

 or lanceolate, sometimes oblanceolate, acuminate, narrowed at the base
