LAURACE^. 



Dehaasia lancifolia, n. sp. (p. 320). 



Arbor 25-pedalis. Folia coriacea lanceolata obtusa (siccitate rufa), 

 lireviter petiolata glabra, nervorum 9-11 paribus prsedita ; nervis 

 ascendentibus in margine arcuatis, costa crassiuscula, ^\-T\ poll, 

 longa, 1^-2 lata. Paniculse elongatse patentes 7-8 poll, lougse, 

 ramulis paucis brevibus pubescentibus. Flores Q-l perparvi in 

 cymulas in apicibus ramulorum virescentes dispositi, pedicellis 

 brevibus pubescentibus. Sejiala 3 minuta ovata obtusa, Petala 

 alterna ovata obtusa cucullata pubescentia, quam sepala multo 

 inajora. Stamina 9 filamentis bi-evissimis, antheris ovatis. Stylus 

 quam stamina longior crassus ; stigma magnum rotundatum 

 crassum atrum. Drupa elliptica H poll, longa, pedunculo haud 

 multum incrassato. 



Gunong Tahan, 5,000-6,000 ft. Tree 11 inches in diameter, 25 

 feet high, flowers greenish (5468). Shrub 8-10 feet, in fruit 

 (5526).' 



This fine plant is represented by two specimens, one in flower and one 

 in fi-uit, which evidently belong to the same species. The leaves are 

 bright brown when dry. The main nerves ascend and curving 

 upwards at the margin connect with each other by a loop, and the 

 intermediate uervules are conspicuously reticulated. The long lax 

 panicle of short branches is not like that of any other species 

 known to me. The flowers are quite those of a Dehaasia, some 

 unisexual and some bisexual. The stigma is remarkably thick and 

 rounded for the genus.
