144 ANNALS OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN, CALCUTTA. 
This is allied to К. nervosa, Т. Anders. ; but it is readily distinguished from that by its smooth 
branchlets, by the leaves much and gradually narrowed to both base and apex, and by the oblong- 
acuminate petals. A shrubby form of this occurs in Penang (Curtis, Nos. 805, 1418), and in Perak 
(King’s Collector, No. 1345), in which all the parts are smaller and the leaves are less acuminate at 
the apex, and rounded instead of much attenuated at the base.

4, flower, its parts separated: enlarged ; 5, stamens, much enlarged. 
PLATE 174A. 
КАҮЕА Manu, King п. sp. 
A glabrous tree. Young branches slender, polished, the bark pale brown (when 
dry). eaves coriaceous, narrowly oblong, tapering to each end, the apex acuminate, 
the base acute; main пегуез about 15 pairs, slightly prominent on the lower surface 
when dry, curving, both surfaces shining; length 5 to 7 in., breadth about 1-4 in., 
petiole “9 in. Racemes several from an axil, umbellate, 1°5 to 2:5 in. long, slender, 
bracts (if any) deciduous. Flowers nearly '5 in. in diam., on slender pedicels *4 to 
‘6 in. long. Sepals ovate-orbicular, concave. Petals broadly ovate, concave, slightly 
smaller than the sepals, Stamens much longer than the petals, very numerous; anthers 
broadly ovate. Pistil longer than the stamens. Ovary conical, sub-compressel, boldly 
ridged, glabrous, tapering into the cylindric style. Stigma with three linear lobes. Unr ipe 
Jrwit compressed; the style persistent, enveloped in the  accrescent sepals. Mesua 
Singaporeana, Wall. Cat. No. 4836, 
Singapore : Wallich, Andaman Islands. Mr. E. H. Man. 
The Andamans' specimens agree perfectly with Wallich’s No. 4830, which had been erroneously 
referred to Kayea racemosa, Planch. by the late Dr. T. Anderson in Hooker’s Flora of British 
India,—a reduction, however, not sanctioned by the authors of that species. This species is a perfectly 
distinct one; and I dedicate it to Mr. E. Н. Man, сл.к., of the Andamans Commission, а gentleman 
who has given much willing help in the exploration of the dense forests of these magnificent islands.

5, andro-zgynecium, opened out; 6, stamens; 7, pistil with vertical section of ovary: enlarged, 
PLATE 174B, 
Каука Cortisu, King n. sp. 
A tree, all parts glabrous; the young branches thin, polished, dark-coloured when 
dry. Leaves thickly coriaceous, narrowly elliptic-oblong, tapering to each end, the 
apex acute or acuminate, the base acute; main nerves 15 to 17 pairs, spreading, rather 
prominent beneath when dry; both surfaces smooth, the lower shining and paler; 
length 2:5 to 85 in., breadth ‘75 to 1 in., petioles '2 to ‘3 in. Flowers solitary, leaf- 
opposed, “75 in. in diam., on pedicels “2 in. long. Sepals broadly ovate-elliptie, Petals 
slightly smaller than the sepals, obovate elliptic, shortly acuminate. Stamens numerous, 
longer than the corolla; anthers reniform with broad central connective. Pistil longer 
than the stamens the ovary ovoid-conie, tapering into the curved cylindric style.
