gular. Leaves subcoriaceons ; lanceolate, attenuately acute at apex, 

 long attenuate at base and decurrent; upper surface dark, glabrous 

 except wben young ; lower densely tomentose, grey-tawny or silvery ; 

 margins entire or rarely obscurely denticulate, slightly recurved ; 4 to 7 in. 

 long, -75 to 1"5 in. broad ; midrib stout, impressed above, prominent 

 beneath ; main nerves 9 to 15 pairs, rather irregular, starting at from 

 60° to 70° with the midrib and at once curving upwards to and along 

 the margin, joined by subparallel transverse nervules ; petiole '5 to '75 

 in. long, the bases of the opposite leaves joined by a well-marked ridge. 

 Cymes few-flowered, -5 to -75 in. long and about -75 in. broad, widely 

 dichotomous ; peduncles -25 to -35 in. long ; bracts linear-subulate ; 

 pedicels very short, jointed; flowers bluish-pink. Calyx campanulate, 

 •075 in. long, densely stellate-tomentose without, glabrous within ; 

 teeth mucronulate. Corolla about twice as long as calyx, densely 

 stellate-tomentose without, glabrous within ; lobes rounded, erect. 

 Stamens inserted at or very near the base of the corolla-tube ; filaments 

 slender, -15 in. long, scarcely or not exsert ; anthers '06 in. long, oblong, 

 much glandular-dotted on both sides. Ovary villous ; style slender,

Kedah : on Langkawi Island, Bidley 8330. Perak : at Ipoh, Curtis 

 3197 ; at Batu Kuran, Scortechini 1596 ; on the top of limestone hills 

 600 to 1000 ft., King's Collector 7036, 8236. 



The Kedah specimens have narrower leaves than the rest, with more slen- 

 der branchlets. The species comes near to C. angusta, Schauer, from the Philippines, 

 but differs in the .almost quite entire leaves and larger flowers and fruit. 



4. Callicarpa Eeevesii, Wall. Cat. 1830 (1828). A shrub; the

 late hairs. Leaves coriaceous ; lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, long 

 acute at apex, attenuate at base and often slightly unequal, not decur- 

 rent ; upper surface dark when dry, glabrous except the nerves, lower 

 tomentose ; margins entire for the lower third, above that shortly 

 dentate-serrate ; 5 to 8 in. long, 2 to 3 in. broad ; midrib stout ; main 

 nerves 13 to 15 pairs, nearly regular, starting at an angle of 45° to 60° 

 with the midrib and curving gently to the margin^ each pair joined by 

 rather obscure transverse nervelets, all slightly impressed above ; 

 petiole '75 in. long. Cymes axillary, rounded, many-flowered, widely 

 dichotomous, reaching 4 in. long and about 3 in. broad ; peduncles
