PynENARIA Wray, King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890, pt. 2, р. 201. 
A bush; the young branches pale, minutely adpressed-pubescent towards the apices as 
are the leaf-buds. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong-oblanceolate, shortly acuminate, obscure- 
ly crenate-serrate to sub-entire; the base attenuate, entire; both surfaces glabrous, the 
lower yellowish-green, pustulate when dry, the upper greenish; midrib prominent, 
especially beneath; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, interarching "22 in. from the margin, rather 
prominent beneath; length 6 to 10 in, breadth 1°75 to 3 in.; petiole *3 to "5 in., stout. 
Flowers ‘5 in. in diam., buds globose, peduncle very short, glabrous; bracteoles 3, broadly 
ovate, connate just below the calyx,. Sepals 6, increasing in size inwards, rotund, minute- 
ly pubescent externally. Petals 6, rotund, concave, thinner than the sepals, puberulous 
externally with broad glabrous edges. Stamens numerous; anthers broadly ovate, about 
one-fourth as long as the filaments. Ovary shortly ovate-conic, with much white hair, 
5- or 6-celled. Styles 3, united for half their length; stigmas vertically flattened. Ovules 
2 in each cell. Fruit sub-globular, bluntly 5-ridged, deciduously pubescent, 1:25 in. in 
diam. Seeds ovoid, sub-compressed, smooth, *6 in. long, the hilum very large. 
Perak, at low elevations; Wray, Scortechini. 
Closely allied to P. Kunstleri; but the leaves have many more neryes, the flowers are 6-merous with 
only 8 styles, and the fruit is more globular than in that species.

Nat. Ord. Ternstremiacee, 
A tree 30 to 40 feet high; young branches slender, with glabrous pale roughish 
bark, pubescent towards the apices, Leaves coriaceous, broadly oblanceolate, shortly 
and bluntly acuminate, obscurely serrulate in the upper two-thirds, the lower ‘third 
gradualiy attenuate, entire; both surfaces glabrous, the upper greenish, the lower 
brownish when dry, the midrib bold and sparsely pubescent beneath; lateral nerves" 6 
pairs, indistinct; length 2:5 to 3 in., breadth 1 to 14 in., petiole "95 in. Flowers sub- 
sessile, “8 to 1 in. in diam., buds sub-globular; bracts sepals and petals forming a cone, 
all adpressed-sericeous externally except the glabrous edges; pedicels about “15 in. long. 
Sepals and petals orbicular, blunt or retuse. Stamens numerous; anthers ovoid; filaments 
much lorger, slender. Ovary ovoid-conic, vertically ridged, adpressed-sericeous, 4- or 
5-celled. Style single, angled. Stigmas 4 ог 5, acute, connivent. Capsules 4-to 5-angled, 
woody, 1 to 1:25 long, '5 to “б in diam., 4- ог 5-celled, backs of valves flat. Seeds -9 
in. long, of which three-fourths are wing. King in Journ. As. Soc. Bengal, for 1890,
