65. E. crenulata, Duthie ; leaves broadly ovate-oblong or suborbicular 

 very thick and coriaceous shortly obtusely acuminate crenulate, nerves close 

 prominent on both surfaces, cymes terminal corymbose main branches long, 

 calyx-limb truncate, petals united in a thick calyptra. 



MALACCA, Maingay, 739. 



Branchlets terete. Leaves 4^-6 by 3-4 in., dull, black-dotted .; midrib stout ; late- 

 ral nerves uniting close within the margin, interspaces reticulated. Cymes exceeding 

 half the length of the leaves. Bracts small at the base of the flowers and at the joints 

 of bhe inflorescence-branches. Calyx-tube about | in., turbinate, much produced above 

 the ovary. The foliage very much resembles that of E. grandis. 



66. E. venulosa, Wall. Cat. 3585 (Syzygwrri) ; leaves ovate or broadly 

 obovate obtuse or shortly acuminate attenuated below into a short petiole 

 very coriaceous polished above, nerves slender but prominent on both surfaces, 

 flowers in terminal corymbs, branches lax spreading exceeding the leaves, calyx- 

 tube obconical ^-f in. limb nearly entire, corolla calyptrate, fruit subspherical 

 crowned with the circular rim of the calyx-limb. 



MALACCA, Wallich, Maingay 741, &c. ; SINGAPORE, Wallich, Walker. 



Bark grey; branchlets terete. Leaves 1^-3 by 1-2 in.; primary nerves uniting 

 close within the margin, interspaces reticulate, dots inconspicuous ; petiole about 

 in. Main branches of inflorescence 1-2 in. Berry about in. in diam., longitu- 

 dinally furrowed. In Maingay's plant, which I would refer here, the corolla is 

 rather more exserted in bud. 



67. E. caryophyllaea, Wight III. ii. 15 ; Ic. t. 540 ; leaves shortly 

 petioled obovate spathulate rarely ovate-lanceolate obtuse or with a short blunt
