3. Mybsine pekakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree ; branchlets 

 thick, smooth, wrinkled when dry, terminal leaf-buds lanceolate. Leaves 

 entire, coriaceous ; oblong, bluntly acute at apex, narrowed at the base, 

 glabrous, shining above, margins recurved, glandular dots many, in- 

 conspicuous ; 4 to 5 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib thick, very 

 prominent ; main-nerves 20 to 26 pairs, prominent above, at about two- 

 thirds of a right angle with the midrib, parallel at first, arching afterwards 

 to meet near the margin ; secondary nerves similar but more slender, 

 reticulations prominent; petiole "3 in. long, very thick, winged by the de- 

 current margins of the blade. Floivers in compact sessile umbels on the 

 summit of a thick, cone-like, bracteate, arrested branch about "1 in. long, 

 in the axils of the leaves or below them on the current year's wood, 

 so forming a thick cluster below the terminal leaves : umbels 5-8-
