the base; filaments slender. Ovary in the males absent or rudimentary, densely pilose, 
and with several rudimentary styles. Female flowers unknown. Fruit ovoid, “76 in. long, 
and :5 in. in diam., baccate, smooth, pulpy, subtended by the persistent calyx and

I have carefully examined a type specimen of Miquel’s Kadsura pubescens from Sumatra named by 
the author's own hand; and there is no doubt whatever that it is an Actinidia and not a Kadsura ; nor 
is there any that it is identical with the above quoted numbers of the Calcutta collector from Perak. 
Miquel is quite wrong in describing his plant as having 3 sepals and 6 petals, there being 5 in each 
whorl, '

A tree 15 to 30 feet high; all parts glabrous except the very apices of the branches, 
the youngest leaf-buds, and the flowers. Leaves elliptic, or elliptic-oblong to oblong-oblan- 
ceolate, mostly acuminate, faintly serrate in the upper three-fourths; the base entire, acute; 
both surfaces, but especially the lower, much pustulate when dry; the lower brown, the 
upper greenish; midrib and 6 to 8 pairs of erecto-patent main nerves rather prominent 
below, the latter interarching far from the edge; length 5 to 7 in., breadth 1:8 to 2:5 in., 
petiole "3 to *4 in, Flowers "6 to °75 in. in diam., on peduncles “1 in. long; bracteoles 
2, opposite, broad, close to the calyx. Sepals 5, rotund, coriaceous, pubescent externally. 
Petals 5, larger than the sepals, rotund, glabrous, fleshy with thin edges, white, connate 
at the base. Stamens numerous; anthers broadly ovate, apiculate, 4 or 4 times as long 
as the slightly flattened filaments, adnate to the base of the petals, Ovary ovoid-conic, 
ridged, adpressed-pubescent, 5-celled. Style short, cylindric, glabrous, 5-ridged. Stigmus 
small, acute, connivent. Fruit 1:25 to 15 іп, long, and about as much in diam., broadly 
ovoid, bluntly 5-ridged, pubescent. Seeds few, ovate, sub-compressed, “б in. long.
