slender, 12-15 pair, spreading ; petiole \-% in. Panicles apparently (in the absence 

 of flowers) very short, about 1 in. long in fruit, then stout and curved but not 

 swollen. 



14. B. globularia, Kurz For. FL ii. 294 ; quite glabrous, terminal 

 buds ovoid acute, leaves opposite elliptic-oblong or lanceolate reticulate on 

 both surfaces, fruit 1-1 i in. diam. globose very fleshy with a thick hard 

 endocarp. 



. MABTABA.N ; on the hills, alt. 3-4000 ft., Kurz. 



Buds of B. Gammieana, leaves narrower longer and less shining, fruiting panicle 

 very short and stout. The specimens are very imperfect, and Kurz's description is 

 wholly insufficient ; he regards it as possibly a hill form of B. EoxlurgUana, but 

 judging from the buds I should doubt its being of the same genus, and its close affinity 

 to B. Gammieana is obvious. 



4. DEHAASIA, Blume. 



Evergreen trees. Leaves alternate, often fascicled at the ends of the 

 branches, penninerved. Flowers small, 2-sexual, in axillary peduncled 

 panicles. Perianth-tube very short ; segments 6, 3 outer much the shortest. 

 Perfect stamens 9, filaments of 1st and 2nd series eglandular, with 2-celled 

 introrse anth'ers, of the 3rd series 2-glandular with 2-celled extrorse an- 

 thers ; staminodes 0, or few and minute. Berry oblong, pedicel very much 

 enlarged, coloured, perianth wholly deciduous. Species 10, Malayan. 



The 4-celled anthers alone distinguish this genus from Alseodaphne. The species 

 require revision with ample materials. 



1. D. cuneata, Blume Rumph. i. 164, t. 46; glabrous, leaves subver- 

 ticillate cuneate-obovate much narrowed at the base obtuse acute or sub- 

 acute glaucous or not beneath, panicles long-peduncled very slender, fruit 

 ellipsoid-oblong. Haasia cuneata, Nees Syst. Laurin. 378. Cryptocarya

 DISTEIB. Java. 



Old branches stout, scarred ; young elongate, stout, clothed with white bark. 

 Leaves at the tips of the branches only, 4-10 by 2-5 in., hard, coriaceous, dark brown 

 when dry, often with a violet-glaucous hue beneath, base narrowed into a petiole 

 i-lj in. long, smooth and opaque above; nerves 8-10 pair, impressed above, strong 

 beneath. Panicles 3-6 in., peduncle and pedicels black when dry, minutely pu- 

 berulous, branches and pedicels divaricate, slender in flower; flowers subglobose, 

 ^-^ in. diam. Stamens short, densely tomentose. Fruit 1-1 in. long, bluish black, 

 pruinose ; swollen pedicel f to 1| in. long, straight or curved, warted. I have doubt- 

 fully referred to this Blume's Cyanodaphne cuneata, suspecting that the character 

 ascribed to the fruit (of being, as in Cryptocarya, enclosed in tlje perianth-tube) is 

 founded in error ; Blume's Javanese flowering specimens of Cyanodaphne cuneata 

 (I have seen no fruit from him) are identical with the Indian D. cuneata, and the 

 fruit I have described unquestionably belongs to it. Kurz quotes Meissner's authority 

 for Endiandra ? Candolleana, intending no doubt Dictyodaphne Candolleana, an 

 obscure Burmese plant for which Meissner quotes the numbers 566 and 1610 of 

 Wallich's Burma collection. 



2. D. HLurzii, King in Herb. Hort. Oalcutt. ; glabrous, leaves sub- 

 verticillate cuneate- or rhombic-obovate much narrowed at the base ob- 

 tusely acuminate glaucous or not beneath, panicles long, peduncled very 

 slender, outer perianth-lobes i smaller than the inner, fruit cylindric 

 oblong.
