2. Case ARIA grewi^folia, Vent. Clioix. 48. A small tree ; young 

 branches 4-angled, densely rusty-tomentose. Leaves oblong, acute, not 

 at all or very little nan-owed to the cordate sub-truncate base, the 

 edges entire or minutely crenulate ; upper surface shining, almost 

 glabrous, the lower surface pellucid-punctate when fresh, tomentose 

 on the midrib and 10-14 pairs of little-curved ascending main nerves, 

 otherwise sparsely pubescent ; length 4*25-6 in., breadth l*25-2*35 in., 

 petiole *2 in. Glomeruli many-flowered, chiefly from the axils of fallen 

 leaves ; the flower-pedicels slender, '25 in. long, minutely pubescent, 

 articulated at the base. Flower-bud '15 in. long ; sepals minutely 

 adpressed-pubescent, adnate at the base to the short staminal column. 

 Stamens 8, the glabrous filaments alternating with the 8 pubescent 

 staminodes. Ovary pyramidal, hairy at its junction with the style. 

 Fruit compressed-ellipsoid, nearly 1 in. long, glabrous, boldly ridged 

 when dry. DC. Prodr. II, 51 ; Miq. Flor. Ind. Bat. I, Pt. I, 706 ;

3. Casbaria albicans, Wall. Cat. 7197. A shrub 3 or 4 feet high ; 

 young branches slender, very pale, almost white when dry, glabrous. 

 Leaves thinly membranous, pale brown when dry and much pellucid- 

 punctate, more or less broadly elliptic, shortly acuminate; the base 

 rounded or very slightly narrowed, the edges entire, both surfaces gla- 

 brous and finely reticulate when dry ; main nerves 8 or 9 pairs, curved, 

 ascending ; length 4-7*5 in., breadth 2*25-4 in., petiole '25 in. Glome- 

 ruli small, few-flowered, axillary ; flower-buds obovoid, almost sessile, 

 surrounded by numerous acute bracteoles. Calyx-teeth 4, broadly tri- 

 angular, glabrous. Fruit broadly ovoid, compressed, acute, subglabrous, 

 1 in. long and '65 in. in its broad diameter. " Samydeas" Wall. Cat.

The above description is drawn up from the two sheets of Wall. Cat. above 

 quoted and of King's Collector 3634. One of WaUich's specimens 9197 has fruit 

 in a pocket detached from the twig, the others have no fruit. Tlie plant here 

 named C. albicans is not, however, that described under the same name by Mr. 

 C. B. Clarke in the Flora of British India. Mr. Clarke's plant is 660 of Maingay's 

 Herbarium, and is referred by me (along with 660/2) to C. macrocarpa, Clarke. 



4. Casearia andamanica, new species. A tree 20-40 feet high ; 

 young branches pale brown, glabrous. Leaves oblong-elliptic, acute,
