(Abstract. ) 
This contribution commences with Natural Order Myrsineex 
and is continued by Sapotacee, Hbenacese, Styracezee and Oleacee. 
The draft of Hbenacexe was prepared by Sir George King, that of 
the other Ordersby Mr. J. S. Gamble; but the new species are 
given under their joint names. 
In the Natural Order Myrsineze 7 genera are described with 
80 species, of which the large genus Ardisia furnishes 47. The 
new species are 36 in number, viz., Mesa impressinervis and pahangi- 
ana ; Myrsine perakensisand Wrayi; Embelia Scortechinii, angulosa, 
Riidleyi, and macrocarpa ; Labisia paucifolia and longistyla; Ardisva 
chrysophyllifolia, solanoides, fulva, lankawiensis,  labisicefolia, 
montana, sinuata, platyclada, Kumnstlert, Scortechinii, oblongifolia, 
tetrasepala, biflora, tahanica, Wrayi, minor, perakensis, Meziana, 
Ridleyt, rosea, longipedunculata, Maingayt, theeefolia, and bambu- 
setorum; and Antistrophe cuudata and Curtisti. A Tenasserim novelty 
has also been described Hinbelia Gallatlyi. The working out of 
the Malay plants of this difficult Order has been rendered easier 
owing to the recent Monograph of the Order by Herr Carl Mez, 
in Engler’s Pflanzenreich. 
In the interesting and important Natural Order Sapotacee 
there are 8 genera with 49 species, of which 25 are new, viz., 
Sidervoxrylon Derryanum; Isonandra perakensis and rufa; Payena 
longepedicellata (Brace), Havilandi, sessilis, obtusifolia and selangor- 
ica; Bassia aristulata, Kingiana (Brace), Kunstleri (Brace), 
penicellata, Curtisit, lawrifolia, rupicola, perakensis, Braceana, longi- 
styla, cuprea, penangiana, and erythrophylla; Palaquium Ridley,
