sericeous everywhere, the apiculus of the connecti've with a terminal: 

 tuft ; filaments short. Ovary depressed-hemispheric, 3-4-celled, smooth 

 as is the cylindric style ; stigma small, conical. Fruit '75 in. in diam., 

 imperfectly 3- to 4-celled, pericax'p smooth. Seeds few, large,, brown, 

 horse-sboe-shaped, punctate, shining. 



Perak ; from 500 to 1500 feet, King's Collector, Scortechini. Distrib. 

 Sumatra. 



The Perak specimens agree perfectly with Teysmann's types 

 collected in Sumatra. 



8. Adinandra Miquelh, King, n. sp. A Tnedium-sized tree ; young 

 branches stout, the bark white and polished. Leaves thickly corinceous, 

 oblanceolate, apex with a short blunt abrupt point, gradually narrowed 

 in the lower half to the petiole, entire ; midrib prominent ; nerves 5 to 7 

 pairs, ascending, anastomising "2 in. from the margin, invisible in the 

 fi-esh, inconspicuous in the dry state ; length 4 to G in., breadth 1'5 to 2'25 

 in. ; petiole "6 to "75 in., stout. Flowers about "75 in. in diam., scattered! 

 below the apices of the branches, axillary and extra-axillary, polygamous ; 

 peduncles spreading, solitary, compressed, pale, *75 to 1 in. long ; the 

 bracteoles just below tlie flower, small, fugaceous. Sepals flesliy, rotund, 

 the 2 outer much smaller. Petals larger than the sepals, rotund, clawed,: 

 fleshy. Stamens numerous, chiefly from the torus, pubescent, the con- 

 nective with a long apiculus, filaments short. Ovary depressed-globose, 

 2-celled, narrowed above into the short cylindric style ; stigma shortly 

 bifid; the lobes narrow, acute, spreading. Fruit unkuown. Ternstrosmia 

 hancana, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 477. 



Penang ; Curtis, No. 1612. Distrib. Bangka. 



The stigma shows that this does not belong to the genus Tern^ . 

 strosmia into wln'ch Miquel put it. It is evidently a rare plant in 

 Penang, as Curtis's specimen ( wliich agrees perfectly witli Mifinel'.s tvpe- 

 speciniens from Bangka) is the only one which I have seen from that 

 island. 



3. Ternptrcemia, Linn, 



Evergreen glabrous trees or shrubs. Leaves more or less coriaceous, 

 entire or crenate-serrate. Peduncles axillary, solitary or sub-fasciculate, 

 recurved, 2-bracteolate, flowers usually dioecious. Sepals 6, imbiicate. 

 Petals 5, imbricate, connate by their bases. Stameiis many, mostly nd- 

 herent to the base of the coi-olla, anthers glabrous. Ovary 2- to 3-celled, 

 style simple or absent. Stigma broadly 2- to 8-lobed or sub-entire; 

 ovules usually 2 in each cell, pendulous. Fruit indehiscent, sub-baccate* 

 Seeds rather large, the albumen copious or scanty. Distrib. Tropical 

 Asia and America ; species about 30.
