and hairless. The leaves of A. Curtisii moreover are strigose between the nerves 

 on both surfaces. 



3. Anerincleistus Curtisii, Stapf in Kew. Bull, for 1892, p. 196. 

 A small shrub, like A. Scortechinii, the young branches, petioles, and 

 inflorescence spreading slightly and not gland-tipped ; leaves as in 

 A. Scortechinii but strigose on both surfaces. Calyx-tube with numerous 

 subulate, gland-tipped, spreading hairs ; the teeth minute, triangular 

 and without hairs. Anthers blunt.

4. Anerincleistus floribundus, King, n. sp. A shrub, about 15 

 feet high : young branches, petioles and panicles densely and shortly 

 tawny-tomentose. Leaves unequal, ovate, shortly acuminate, 7-nerved 

 at the rounded base, (the main nerve giving off a pair about 1 in. from 

 the base) ; upper surface with a few short scattered bristles, the main 

 nerves densely bristly-pubescent ; lower surface with short coarse hairs 

 especially on the nerves and veins ; length 5 to 9 in. ; breadth 4 to 

 5'5 in. ; petiole 1 to 2 in., one leaf of each pair smaller than the other. 

 Panicle terminal, solitary, longer than the leaves, much branched, the 

 branches unequal and in pseudo-whorls, many-flowered, the ultimate 

 branchlets few-flowered, cymose. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, tapering 

 into and longer than the pedicel, adpressed-pilose : the mouth truncate 

 and with 4 small broadly triangular teeth and 4 alternating tufts of 

 inwardly-directed hairs. Petals 4, shorter than the calvx-tube, broadly 

 triangular or occasionally quadrate, apiculate, glabrous. Stamens 8, 

 equal, or 2 smaller and sometimes suppressed ; anthers curved, with two 

 deep broad lobes at the base but no appendage. Capsule broadly 

 obovoid, truncate, tapering at the base ; seeds minute, broadly linear.

5. Anerincleistus sdblepidotus, King, n. sp. A shrub, 10 to 15 feet 

 high ; young branches, petioles and inflorescence densely clothed with 

 short, flat, adpressed, scale-like pale hairs. Leaves somewhat unequal, 

 ovate, shortly acuminate, on long petioles, 5-nerved, entire ; upper 

 surface glabrous except for a few minute scale-like hairs, the main 

 nerves hairy like the petiole; lower surface much reticulate, minutely 

 lepidote- hairy, the middle nerve hairy like the petiole; length 4 to 

 8 in., breadth 2 to 4 in. ; petiole 1 to 15 in. Panicle terminal, solitary, 

 erect in flower, pendent in fruit, usually longer than the leaves, few- 

 branched ; the ultimate branches unequal, short, few-flowered, some 

 of them in pseudo-whorls, pedicels less than -1 in. long. Calyx-tube 

 •15 in. long, (when dry) reddish, clothed with scattered, adpressed 

 scale-like hairs, tubular-campanulate ; the teeth 4, short, acute. Petals 

 4, ovate, acuminate, glabrous, shorter than the calyx-tube. Stamens 8,
