4. Adinandra integerrima, T. Anders. Hook. Fl. Br. Itid I, 282. 

 A small tree ; young branches with dark-coloured bark, the extremities 

 fulvous-pubescent, the leaf-buds sericeous. Leaves sub-coriaceous, ovate 

 to ovate-oblong, shortly acuminate, the base acute or I'ounded, the margin 

 minutely glandular-serrulate ; upper surface glabrous, shining, greenish 

 when dry ; the lower pale brown, sparsely pubescent and with many 

 minute black glands ; main nerves 10 to 14 pairs, thin, interarcliing 

 •2 in. from the margin, slightly prominent on both surfaces (when dry) 

 as are the reticulations ; length 35 to 5 in., breadth 1-4 to 2-25 in. ; petiole 

 •2 to '25 in., pubescent. Floivers "6 in. in diam. ; peduncles not much 

 longer than the petioles, strigose ; bracteoles ovate, acute, opposite, close 

 to the calyx. Sepals spreading, broadly ovate, acute ; the two outer 

 larger, very thick, the edges thin, serrulate-denticulate ; externally 

 adpressed-sericeous, internally smooth and shining. Petals smaller than 

 the sepals, coherent by their bases, connivent, ovate, acute, membran- 

 ous, glabrous except an adpressed sericeous patch on the back, connivent. 

 Stamens about 30, adnate to the base of the petals ; filaments short, 

 glabrous ; anthers elongate, fusiform, the cells lateral ; connective seri- 

 ceous with a long glabrous apiculus. Ovary depressed-hemispheric, 

 adpressed-sericeous, 5-celled, multi-ovulate ; style cyliudric, expanded 

 below, sericeous ; stigma small, sub-capitate. Fruit {fide Dyer) baccate, 

 adpressed-pubescent, '7 in. in diam. Seeds small, shining. Dyer in

Penang ; Wallich. Perak, Scortechini ; at low elevations. 



The specific name is unfortunate, as in all the specimens I have 

 seen the leaves are as described above and not entire. 



5. Adinandra villosa, Choisy Mem. Ternstr. 24. A pubescent tree, 

 40 to 50 feet high ; young branches pilose, pale brown, leaf-buds sericeous. 

 Jjeaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, entire or faintly 

 glandular-crenate ; the base rounded, rarely acute ; upper surface shin- 

 ing glabrous except the pubescent midrib ; under surface yellowish, 

 sparsely pubescent ; nerves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending, interaching within 

 the mar<nn, not prominent ; midrib bold ; reticulations rather distinct ; 

 leno-th 4 to 5*5 in., breadth 1'5 to 1'75 in. ; petiole 2 in., pilose. Flowers 

 •75 in. in diam., from "4 to nearly 1 in. long, pilose ; bracteoles ovate, 

 from the middle of the peduncle, fugaceous. Sepals spreading, sub- 

 equal, rotund, fleshy, pilose externally, smooth internally. Petals ovate, 

 blunt, membranous, adpressed-sericeous externally, the edges glabrous. 

 Stamens about 30, attached to the bases of the petals, sericeous, the
