 by its elongately acnminate, broad-based leaves and long-peduncled nmbels. 



9. Memecylon Maingayi, Clarke in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. IT, 557. 

 A tree, 20-40 feet high ; branches stout, terete, somewhat thickened at 

 the nodes, the bark pale-brown when dry. Leaves coriaceous, nenrly 

 sessile, elliptic-oblong, sub-acute, slightly narrowed to the rounded, 

 sometimes slightly cordate base ; in length 65-9 in. ; breadth 3-4 25 

 in. ; main nerves 12-15 pairs, not very prominent, interarching inside 

 the margin. Flowers large for the genus, in few-flowered (12-20) 

 fascicles from the axils of the leaves or of fallen leaves ; peduncles and 

 pedicels about '15 in. long, bracteolate. Calyx-tube widely cupular, 

 truncate, toothless, "2 in. in diam. when dry. Petals obtuse in bud.

An arboreal species with large flowers and thick branches, allied to 

 M, amplexicaule but well distinct. 



10. Memecylon Kurzii, King. A glabrous shrub ; young branches 

 terete, swollen under the nodes, the bark pale when dry. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, sub-sessile, ovate-oblong, shortly acuminate, slightly 

 narrowed to the rounded base ; main nerves 15-20 pairs, rather straight, 

 interarching '25 in. from the margin, faint ; length 85-10 in. ; breadth 

 3'25-4*5 in. ; petiole about '1 in. long, stout. Floivers large, on slender 

 bi-bracteolate pedicels '4 in. long ; the cymes 3- or 4-flowered, from the 

 axils of fallen leaves, solitary or several together ; peduncle short (only 

 •15 in. long). Calyx-tuhe campanulate, *2 in. long; the mouth '2 in. 

 wide, wavy and with 4. broad teeth. Fruit ellipsoid, . somewhat curved, 

 •75 in. in length (including the persistent limb of the calyx) and '4 in, 

 in diam. M, subtrinervium, Miq., var. grandiflora, Kurz in Journ. As, 

 Soc. Beng. 1876, pt. II, 131 ; C. B. Clarke in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II,

The leaves of this when dry are pale-brown on the upper and pale-olivaceoua 

 on the lower surface. They are different in shape from those of M. subtrinervmmy 

 Miq., of which Kurz makes this a variety. The flowers of the latter are moreover 

 small and in slender pedunculate cymes,
