In its leaves and inflorescence this species strongly resembles C. Wightiuna, 
Thwaites, but in its fruit it is quite different ; for that of C. Wightiana is globose 
and smooth and has not the very prominently enlarged pedicels. Ridley’s 
5849 has the perianth-tube longer than it is in the other specimens, but this is 
probably due to the flowers being on the verge of the fruiting stage. 
11. CryPTOCARYA AREOLATA, Gamble in Kew Bull. 144 (1910). 
A large tree, reaching 15 to 20 m. in height and 40 to 50 cm. in 
diam.; branchlets stout, angular, sparsely rusty puberulous and 
closely roughly lenticellate, innovations and inflorescence minutely 
rusty puberulous. Leaves coriaceous; ovate or elliptic ovate, the 
younger sometimes lanceolate, obtusely acute or rounded at apex, 
rarely acuminate, cuneate and often unequal at base; upper sur- 
face smooth, glabrous and somewhat shining, areolate-reticulate, 
lower glaucous, purplish when dry, glabrous except on the midrib 
and main nerves; 10 to 20 cm. long, 5 to 8 cm. broad; midrib 
moderately stout, flattened or somewhat keeled on the upper sur- 
face, prominent on the lower; main nerves 5 to 10 pairs, rather 
distant, the lowest pair close to the margin, all at first more or less 
straight and then curving to and along the margin, joined by many 
slender parallel transverse nervules scarcely more conspicuous 
than the elegantly areolate reticulations between them; petiole 
curved, 2cm. long. Flowers subsessile, in axillary or terminal rusty- 
pubescent branching panicles of cymes, 10 to 15 cm. long; bracts 
and bracteoles ovate-lanceolate, early caducous. Perianth-tube 
cylindrical, 1-5 mm. long; lobes ovate, equal, 2°5 mm. long, pubes- 
cent within. Stamens of lst and 2nd rows with villous filaments 
and broadly crested subacute connective 1—1-:5 mm. long, those of 
3rd row similar but longer and prominently crested ; staminodes of 
4th row sagittate, sharply acuminate, 1 mm. long, villous behind 
and at the base; glandslarge, rounded and glabrous, villous-stipitate. 
Ovary slender as is the style, slightly angled on one side near the 
top; stigma capitate. Fruit not known.

12. Cryprocarya Kurz, Hook. f. in Fl. Br. Ind. V. 119 (1886).

cm. in diameter; branchlets rather slender, terete, lenticellate, gla-
