them. 
7. Linprera cmsiA, Boerl. Handl. Fl. Ned. Ind. III 146 (1900). 
A small tree reaching 3 to 4°5 m. in height and a diameter of stem 
of 5 to 8 cm.; branchlets slender, dark brown, rather rough, the 
uppermost densely villous, the innovations silkily tawny-villous. 
Leaves chartaceous, alternate; elliptic-ovate or -lanceolate, long- 
acuminate at apex, rarely caudate, acute at base; upper surface 
smooth, glabrous except on the ribs, lower surface bluish green when 
fresh, glaucous when dry; 6—10 cm. long, 3—5 em. broad; ribs 3, 
the midrib prominent, reaching the tip of the acumen, the side ribs 
starting from 4—5 mm. above the base, curving and ending in small 
loops about half-way up; main nerves from the midrib 2—5 pairs, 
prominent, joined near the margin by arching loops, nerves outside 
the side ribs about 6—8, short; transverse nervules irregular, 
branched and anastomozing; reticulation areolate: petiole 6—10 
mm. long, slender, blackish-villous. Flowers in sessile umbellules in 
close axillary clusters; involucral bracts 2—3, if more than 2 the 
outer quite small, glabrescent without; flowers in each umbellule 3, 
sessile or on very short villous pedicels; perianth-lobes 6, lanceolate- 
acuminate, 1—2 mm. long, gland-dotted, villous without and at 
base within. Stamensof 3 flowers 90r12; much longer than perianth- 
lobes, up to 5 mm., with oblong short anthers and slender villous 
filaments, those of the outer rows shorter than those of the inner, the - 
inner with a pair of rounded rather small glands at the very bases 
of the filaments; rudimentary ovary ovoid with short curved style 
and large peltate stigma. Staminodes of 9 flowers and fruit not 
known. Daphnidium cesium, Nees in Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. I. 351; 
Meissn. in DC. Prodr. XY. I. 229; Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. I. 1. 976 (in

PERAK: Maxwell’s Hill, Scortechint 14!, 1200 m. alt., Curtis 
2052!; dense forest near Larut at 1000—1200 m. alt., King’s Collector 
6951!. SELANGOR: at Sempang, Ridley 15597 !.—Distris, Java. 
I believe and hope I am correct in the identification of this species from 
the Java specimens in the Calcutta Herbarium and from descriptions. 
8. LINDERA RUFA, Gamble. A shrub reaching 2 m. in height; 
branchlets rather stout, rough, brown, uppermost ferruginous- 
villous as are the innovations; buds ovoid, perulate, the scales
