2. Canangidm Scortechinii, King n. sp. A tree 30 to 40 feet high : 

 young branches puberulous but speedily glabi'ous, dark-coloured and 

 lenticellate. Leaves membranous, broadly ovate, sub-acuminate, the 

 base broad rounded, slightly oblique ; both surfaces pubescent when very 

 young, ultimately glabrescent, the midrib and 6 or 7 pairs of nerves ad- 

 pressed-pubescent, glandular-dotted ; length 2'5 in., breadth 1'5 in. (fide 

 Scortechini; length 3 to 7 in., breadth 2 to 3 in.) Cymes short, from the 

 axils of leaves or of fallen leaves, few- flowered, shortly pedunculate.

 narrow, ovate, obtuse, mesial bracteole '25 in. long. Sepals ovate, sub-

 sharp point. Ovaries numerous, oblong, glabrous except at the pubes- 

 cent base, with 6 or 8 ovules in two rows ; stigma sessile, truncate.

Perak : Scortechini. 



Scortechini's specimens ai'c in bud only and none of them has any 

 fruit. The foregoing description has been prepared partly from his notes 

 and partly from his specimens. The species differs from G. odoratum in 

 having smaller leaves, a different inflorescence, with smaller, quite in- 

 odorous, flowers. It is also a smaller tree.
