channelled above ; main nerves numerous, about 25 to 30 pairs, at 

 about 80° with the midrib, faint on the upper surface, invisible on the 

 lower ; secondary nerves nearly as many as and between the main 

 nerves, reticulations not visible ; petiole '5 to '75 in. long, usually 

 twisted. Cymes small, in dense axillary clusters, shorter than the 

 petiole ; pedicels very short, thick, spirally corrugated by the scars of 

 fallen bracteoles, very much thickened in fruit ; buds clavate, the tip 

 globose ; flowers minute, white. Calyx "05 in. long or less, deeply 

 divided in 5 ovate, hyahne, puberulous, rounded lobes. C'o?'o//a-tube 

 cylindiic, slender, -3 in. long, inflated about one-third of the way up, 

 opposite the stamens ; throat naked ; lobes obliquely falcate, apiculate 

 on one side, -1 to -15 in. long. Anthers lanceolate, very small, rounded 

 at the base ; filaments very short. Ovary ovate, acuminate ; stigma 

 small, conoidal ; placentas prominent. Berry orange-coloured, ellipsoid 

 or obovoid, 1-5 to 2 in. long and 1 to 1"5 in. broad ; pericarp thick, 

 fleshy, smooth or much corrugated and tubercled externally, woody, 

 dividing into two concave or flat valves. Seeds embedded in a fibrous 

 pulp and enclosed in a pale orange corky lobed arillus on one side, 4 in. 

 long, oblong or ovoid, sometimes flattened at the ends, deeply grooved at 

 the hilum ; testa black, shining, thin ; albumen horny, thick ; cotyledons 

 flat, orbicular- cordate, "2 in. in diameter; radicle '1 in. long.

5. Chilocaepus Cantleyi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A glabrous 

 climbing shrub ; young branches as thick as a goose-quiU, smooth, at 

 first yellowish afterwards dark brown, obtusely angled, raised at the nodes 

 and ridged. Leaves coriaceous ; elliptic or oblanceolate, the apex obtuse 

 or with a short blunt apiculus, long-attenuate at base; both surfaces dull 

 when dry, the upper dark greenish-brown, the lower very pale greenish- 

 yellow when fresh, puncticulate ; margins slightly recurved ; 3'5 to 4 in. 

 long, 1-25 to 1-5 in. broad; midrib thick, channelled above, broad and 

 conspicuous beneath ; main ners^es extremely faint on the upper surface 

 when dry, invisible on the lower, apparently about 30 pairs at nearlj- 

 right angles with the midrib and with many intermediate secondary 

 nerves ; petiole about "6 in. long, channelled above. Cymes axillary, 

 glabrous, on stout somewhat flattened peduncles "4 to "5 in. long, many- 

 (about 20-) flowered, few-branched ; pedicels '1 in. long, with many 

 obtuse imbricate bracteoles which are caducous and leave rough pits 

 behind ; buds clavate, the tip obtuse ; flowers yellow. Calyx -075 to 

 •1 in. long, lobes elliptic-rotund, thick with hyaline -margins. Corolla- 

 tube cylindric, "2 in. long, dilated slightly below the middle opposite the
