1. Mrriusa Roxsurcuiana, Hook. fil. & Thoms. Fl. Ind. 150. A small tree; young 
branches softly pubescent, ultimately glabrous striate and pale. Leaves thinly coriaceous, 
oblong or oblong-lanceolate, shortly acuminate, the base rounded; upper surface glabrous, 
the lower sparsely adpressed-pubescent to tomentose; main nerves about 10 pairs, 
spreading, inter-arching °15 in. from the edge; length 25 to 4 in., breadth -85 to 
1-4 in.; petiole ‘05 in., pubescent. Pedicels 1 to 3 together, axillary, slender, °5 to 1:5 
in. long, sometimes on a short peduncle; bracteoles several, linear. Flowers dicecious 
or polygamous, about °5 in. long. Sepals and outer petals sub-equal, lanceolate or linear, 
rusty-tomentose. Inner petals *5 to *6 in. long, ovate or oblong-lanceolate, sub-acute, 
nerved, red. Stamens in male flower numerous, with obliquely truncate broad apices. 
Ovaries (in female flower) oblong, glabrous; style oblong; ovules 1 or 2. Ripe carpels 
ovoid or oblong, blunt, glabrous, granular, -25 to ‘35 in. in diam.; stalk -4 in, long, 
slender. Seeds 1, rarely 2. Hook, fil. Fl. Br. Ind. i, 87; Kurz For. Fl. Burm. i.

Kurz’s species M. fristis (For. Flora Burma i. 47) appears to be a form of this 
with larger leaves and flowers than usual. The only specimens of it extant are very 
poor; and better material may .show it to be, as Kurz thought, a distinct species. 
According to M. Pierre, his Cambodian species MM. mollis (FI. Forest. Coch.-Chine, 
t. 40) is closely allied to M. Roxburghiana. The same author’s species I, campanulata 
(Le. t. 41) is also allied to M. Roxburghiana and to M. macrocarpa.

2, Muiusa macrocarpa, Hook, fil. § Thoms, Fl. Ind. 150, A small tree; young 
branches glabrous, dark-coloured, puberulous, striate, the older -lenticellate. Leaves 
membranous, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, sometimes slightly oblanceolate, acuminate, the

paler, glabrous, the midrib sometimes muriculate; main nerves 8 to 11 pairs, rather 
prominent beneath, in old leaves forming wide inter-marginal arches ; length 4°5 to 7 in., 
breadth 1°5 to 2°2 in.; petiole °15 in. Flowers on long pedicels, extra-axillary, often leaf- 
opposed, solitary, or in few-flowered, often sub-terminal, cymes; pedicels glabrescent,
