bush or a small-sized bushy tree. Endemic; the only other 

 species of the genus occurs in China. 



12. EuRYA ACUMINATA, var. EUPRISTA. A common large 



shrub in the rocky stream of the Teku, and less bushy on the 



streams on the Padang, where it is less common. This shrub 



'is very abundant all up the Tahan River, and seems to have 



found its way up thence. 



Distribution. Himalayas to Fiji. 



*i3. Ternstrcemia Maclellandiana, n. sp; a«fffl, p. 44. 



Ternstramia japonica, Ridley, op. cit. p. 304. 



A small tree about 20 feet tall. Leaves thickly coriaceous, 

 drying olive-green above, yellowish beneath, oblanceolate, 

 shortly acuminate and narrowed at the base, more rarely 

 obovate-obtuse, 3J-5 inches long, 1-2 inches wide; nerves 

 three pairs, hardly visible below, invisible above; midrib 

 prominent below, grooved above; petiole stout, \ inch long. 

 Flowers from the axils of the upper leaves, solitary in the axil; 

 pedicels thick, decurved, ^ inch long. Calyx with 5 short 

 rounded lobes, ^ inch long, much shorter than the corolla. 

 Corolla half an inch across, white; petals 5, oblong at the base, 

 then obovate, rounded, margins denticulate. Stamens nume- 

 rous, subsessile, short; anthers longer than the filament, 

 oblong-truncate, rather broad. 



Not rare on the Padang. Endemic. 



Most nearly allied to T. Scortechinii, King, a Malayan 

 species, but with a hardly lobed calyx and different leaves with 

 fewer nerves. 



I referred this in the previous paper to the T. aneura, 

 Miq., of Banka, which is referred to a variety of T. japonicn, 

 Thunb., by Hooker. It differs, however, in the much smaller 

 calyx and the almost clawed petals from T. japonica. I am 

 pleased to associate this plant with the name of Mr. F. A. S. 

 McClelland, District Officer of Kuala Lipis, who assisted us 

 very materially in making the expedition.

*i4. El^ocarpus monticola, Ridl. op. cit. p. 305. 

 Common small tree on the Padang. Endemic. 



15. El^ocarpus reticosa, n. sp. 



A small tree, the young parts pubescent. Leaves ovate, 

 abruptly acuminate, acute to lanceolate-acuminate, base 

 rounded, margin thickened, faintly crenulate, with small black 

 processes in the crenulations, stiffly coriaceous, 2 to 4 inches 

 long, I to 2 inches wide; main nerves seven pairs, branching 

 and inarching within the margin, polished yellow-brown, 

 strongly reticulate above when dry, and similarly reticulate, 

 with numerous black dots beneath; young leaves red and 

 minutely pubescent on the petiole and midrib beneath; petiole 

 J inch long, decurved, pubescent. Panicles from the lower or 

 median leaf-axils, i^ to 2 inches long; branches and pedicels 

 pubescent. Sepals and petals not seen. Stamens with line?ir
