branched hairs. This var. resembles C. lanata, Linn., of Southern 

 India and Ceylon in its leaves, but the flowers are those of C. arhorea.

2. Callicarpa Matngati, King & Gamble in Kew Bull. 106 (1908). 

 A tree ; young branches, inflorescence, and leaves beneath covered with 

 minute golden-brown stellate tomentum ; branchlets stout, obtusely 

 quadrangular. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic- or elliptic-obovate, rounded 

 and veiy shortly acute or acuminate at apex, rounded and then some- 

 what cuneate at base, the two sides often unequal; upper surface 

 glabrous except the midrib and main nen'es of young leaves ; lower 

 surface rugose and very minutely appressed stellate-pubescent ; margins 

 entire or undulate with minute denticulations at the ends of the neiTes ; 

 6 to 12 in. long, 3 to 6 in. broad ; nerves all impressed on the upper 

 surface, sharply and strongly raised on the lower ; the midrib stout ; 

 main nerves 10 to 12 pairs, starting at about 75° with the midrib and 

 curving upwards to anastomose near the margin, the pairs joined by 

 fairly regular transverse nervules, and these again by the netted reticu- 

 lations ; petiole 1-5 to 2 in. long, stout, channelled above. Cymes many- 

 flowered, rounded, reaching 3-5 in. long and 6 in. broad, widely 

 dichotomous ; peduncle stout, flattened, 1 to 1-5 in. long, further branch- 

 peduncles also flattened when dry ; bracts linear-subulate, very small; 

 pedicels 'Oo to -1 in. long, slender. Calyx hemispherical, -05 in. long, 

 tawny steUate-pubescent without, glabrous within, with 4 minute teeth. 

 Corolla-tnhe nearly cylindric, "1 in. long, densely and closely grey- 

 stellate-tomentose without, nearly glabrous within; lobes short, rounded, 

 erect or slightly recurved, '04 in. long, villous within. Staviens inserted 

 at -04 in. from base of tube; filaments '175 in. long; anthers oblong, 

 •075 in. long, glandular-punctate on the back. Ovary villous ; style 

 slender, bent ; stigma broad, peltate. Drupe small, black, -06 in. in diam.

 Chembong, Derry 1005, Vern. " Tainpancj Besi." 



In Kew Herbarium, Maingay's specimen has been placed under C. arhorea, but 

 the species differs in many respects. The venation of the leaves is very different, as is 

 the tomentum of much smaller stellate hairs ; the leaves are nearly blunt ; the tube 

 of the corolla much longer, and its lobes much shorter ; and we have no hesitation in 

 describing it as a new species. 



3. Callicaepa angustifolia, King & Gamble in Kew Bull. 106 

 (1908). A shrub, reaching 8 to 9 ft. in height; branchlets, inflorescence, 

 and leaves beneath (also young ones above) clothed with appressed 

 grey or ferruginous stellate tomentum ; branchlets obscurely quadran-
