5. Poprowis Brppomeana, Hook. fil. §& Thoms. Fl. Br. Ind. i. 68. A tree; young 
branches slender, cimereous-tomentose. Leaves thickly membranous, rather broadly lanceo- 
late, acuminate (those on the lower parts of the tree smaller and ovate, acute), the

margin; length 4°5 to 6°5 in., breadth 1°6 to 2 in.; petiole ‘2 in, Flowers solitary, °35

Malacca,—Maingay (Kew Distrid.) No. 55. Penang,—Curtis. 
I give the locality Penang on the strength of an imperfect specimen recently 
received from Mr. Curtis (No. 2768). Good flowering and fruiting specimens of this 
rather obscure species are much wanted.
