A small tree ; young parts perfectly glabrous. Leaves 3-4 in. long ; leaflets coria- 

 ceous, sparingly grey-puberulous above, glabrous beneath, base unequal, rounded, en- 

 tire, sides entire below, sharply serrate above as is the apex, which ends in an acute 

 or mucronate tip ; *75 in. long, •35-*45, in. wide, venation not visible above, of a fine 

 close-meshed subequal reticulation. Gorymhs 125 in. wide, their peduncles glabrous, 

 1*5 in. long; pedicels slender. Flowers '25 in. across. Styles 5, glabrous. Fruit -26 

 in diam. 



A species no doubt near P. foliolosa but abundantly distinct. It has been col- 

 lected on five separate occasions, in 1857, 1868, 1880 and 1903, always on the same 

 ridge — that along the Nepalese Frontier of Sikkim. Considering how very fre- 

 quently this ridge has been explored by botanical collectors we must conclude that 

 the tree in Sikkim is not only local but rare.

Burma : Sagain, Calcutta Garden Collectors ! 



A tree : young branches stout, densely rusty-tomentose. Leaves crowded near the 

 apices of the branches, alternate, obovate, the apex very broad, sometimes obscurely 

 and minutely cuspidate, tapering from about the middle to the short eglandular 

 petiole ; upper surface shining and glabrous everywhere except at the rusty- 

 tomentose base of the midrib, lower surface everywhere covered with short rusty- 

 tomentum ; length 4 or 5 in., breadth 2*5 to 3 in., petiole '3 to '4 in., stout, densely 

 rusty-tomentose. Spikes axillary, alternate, shorter than the leaves, almost 

 glabions, solitary. Flowers rather less than '15 in. in diam., those in the upper 

 part of the spike male, those in the lower part hermaphrodite. Calyx very sparsely
