odoratissima ; it is very sweet-scented both in leaf and flower, and is the plant so called 

 by Braudis and accepted by the Forest department. C, the L. Champa, Herb. Ham., 

 from Huugpore and Patgong with globose small fruit, and D ? from Goalpara, are 

 all the cultivated M. bombycina, King, and E ? from Silhet with a silky perianth 

 and long glaucous leaves is probably M. Kurzii, King. F, said to be from Singapore, 

 is unquestionably the same as B, and the habitat is almost certainly erroneous. 

 Meissuer's M. odoratissima is. an even greater mixture than Noes', and not worth 

 unravelling, the specimens described being almost uniformly without fruit. Lou- 

 reiro's L. indica, cited by both the above authors, is probably M . riuwsa, Kurz. 

 Kurz's M. indica with oblong fruit and glabrous panicles is, no doubt, M. odora- 

 tissima, as is Brandis' plant of the latter name, and Strachey and Winterbottom's 

 Ocotea ligustrina. Gamble's is a mixture of plants from the plains up to 8000 ft. 

 Blume's M. odoratissima may be anything. 



2. M. PARVIFLOBA, Meissn. (p. 137) ; brancblets and young leaves glabrous or 

 faintly silky, leaves linear-lanceolate or oblanceolate often large G-10 in. quite 

 glabrous and very glaucous blue beneath with 6-10 pairs- of distant nerves, panicles 

 and small flowers quite glabrous, filaments short broad, fruit in. long. 



KHASIA, and Duphla Hills, in ASSAM, alt. 4000 ft., common. 

 : * Fruit globose or nearly so. Flowers silky tomentose or pubescent in all but 

 J/. Gammieana. 



t Young leaves villously pubescent or tomentose beneath. 



3. M. VILLOSA, Hook, f. (p. 140) ; nerves of leaf 6-8 pairs very strong, panicle 

 long-peduncled, flowers about + in. diam., sepals short ovate obtuse, fruit young 

 i in. diam.

 GAEEOW, KHASIA, and PATKOYE HILLS. 



Nees' Phoebe glaucescens may be a mixture of this and M. macrantha. There 

 is no corresponding Nepal specimen in Wallich's Herb, to that in Herb. Hook., which 

 was received about 1822. 



4. M. EDTJLIS, King (p. 138). I have nothing to add to the description, 

 ff Young leaves glabrous or finely silky beneath. 



5. M. GAMMIEANA, King (p. 137), and M. CLAEKEANA, King (p. 137), seem to be 

 one species ; the leaves attain 10 in., glaucous beneath with many faint nerves 

 beneath ; flowers quite glabrous ; the filaments are glabrous or hairy. The flowering 

 specimens with few-nerved leaves sent with the fruiting and referred to at the end 

 of the description of M. Gammieana, were those of Phoebe lanceolafa. The quite 

 glabrous flowers distinguish this from M. Dulhiei. 



6. M. LISTEEI, King (p. 138). Two plants were here mixed. The true M. Listeri 

 (to the description of which I have nothing to add) has cuneately obovate leaves 

 glaucous and puberulous beneath with 30-12 pairs of parallel nerves, a i-hort (im- 

 mature) hoary panicle, and fruit 1 in. diam. ; young leaves unknown. The Narainpore 

 specimens certainly belonged to M. Gamblei. 



7. M. GAMBLEI, King mss. ; shoots and young leaves beneath finely silky, 

 leaves 3-6 in. obovate or oblanceolate quite glabrous beneath impressed punctate on 

 both surfaces, nerves 8-10 pairs very slender, sepals silky on both surfaces, filaments 

 glabrate, fruit globose | | in. diam. 



NEPAL, ll'allich. SIKEIM HIMALAYA, ascending to 7000ft. ASSAM and the 

 DUIMILA HILLS. 



The Assam specimens have more slender panicles, and more resemble M. bomby- 

 cina, but the leaves are glabrous beneath. 



8. M. KURZII, Kunjtnss. ; shtots and young leaves glabrous, leaves 3-5 in. as in 

 M. Ciaiittitti, bui more glaucous with 10-12 pairs of very indistinct nerves beneath, 

 panicle Bubsilkily tomentose, sepals linear-oblong silky on both surfaces, filaments 

 nearly glabrous, liuit in. diam.
