114 King & Gamble — Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 4, 



The Perak specimens show two forms, the one (No. 1483 Wray) with leaves 

 elliptic-oblong, glabrous beneath; the other (No. 2951 Wray) with smaller leaves 

 elliptic-lanceolate, with occasional stellate hairs beneath. Other specimens from 

 various localities show intermediate forms so that they are not constant varieties. 



2. Viburnum Beccarii, Gamble n. sp. Apparently a small tree, 

 young branches rather thick, smooth. Leaves opposite, entire, coriace- 

 ous, ovate, obtuse or very shortly and bluntly acute, base cuneate ; 

 glabrous above, minutely glandular-dotted beneath ; main-nerves 4 to 6 

 pairs, smaller nerves reticulate; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 2 to 3 in., 

 petiole 75 to 1'25 in. Corymb terminal, long-peduncled (1*5 to 3 in.), 

 umbellate, main branches 6, to 8, upper branches cymose, all brown 

 stellate-pubescent when young; bracts and bracteoles small, linear, very 

 numerous, rusty stellate-pubescent, very quickly deciduous. Calyx-tube 

 clavate, glabrous, '1 in. long ; teeth very minute. Corolla tubular, ovoid 

 in bud, *15 in. long ; teeth 5, acute. Stamens 5 ; anthers oblong, pendu- 

 lous from the summit of a subulate thickened filament, '075 in. long.

 inflorescence brown, stellately-pubescent. Leaves opposite, ovate-acu-

 peduncled (1*5 to 2*5 in.), umbellate, primary branches 3 to 6 and *5 to 

 '75 in. long, paniculate-cymosely branched above; bracts of primary 

 brauches deciduous, linear-spathulate, '4 to *5 in. long, bracteoles very 

 minute, ovate-acuminate, both stellately brown-pubescent. Calyx-tube 

 angular, glabrous, *05 in. long ; lobes 5, erect, ovate, bluntly acute. 

 Corolla hemispheric in bud, rotate-campanulate when open; lobes 5, 

 rounded, imbricate, white. Stamens 5; anthers oblong, exserted; fila- 

 ments short, equal to the petals. Ovary 1-celled ; style short, conical, 

 faintly 3-lobed. Fruit a drupe, oblong-ellipsoid, abruptly apiculate,
