This species is closely allied to P. intcgrifolia, Blnme; but hns flowers only 3 in. 

 long on pedicels ouly "05 in. long, while the flowers of P. intcgrifolia measure 45 in. 

 and its pedicels "1 in. The best distinction between the two species lies however 

 in the fruit which is in this truncate at the base and vertically ridged, while in P. 

 integrifolia the fruit has a tapering base and is not ridged. 



5. Polyosma fragrans, Beim. PL Jav. Rar. 196. A shrub 5 or 6 

 feet high ; young branches slender, decidnonsly pubescent. Leaves 

 elliptic, tapering much to each end, the apex abruptly acuminate; the 

 base cuneate, the edges entire ; the upper surface quite glabrous : the 

 lower sparsely adpressed-pubescent especially on the midrib and 7-10 

 pairs of subhorizontal faint main-nerves ; length 2*5-3 in., breadth 

 1 '1—1*35 in. ; petiole *4 in., slender, pubescent. Raceme terminal, erect, 

 rather longer than the leaves, tawny-pubescent. Flowers '35 in. long, 

 rather crowded, their pedicels uuder "1 in. long with 2 adpressed brac- 

 teoles. Calyx-tube short, sericeous ; the mouth with 4 small triangular 

 teeth. Petals many times longer than the calyx, linear, acute, adpressed- 

 pubescent. Stamens shorter than the petals. Anthers linear, elongate; 

 filaments broad, sparsely villous on the inner side. Fruit sub-globular, 

 apiculate, glabrous, "2 in. in diam. H. f. & T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. II,

6. Polyosma intkguifolia, Blume Bijdr. 659. A tree 20-40 feet 

 high ; young branches lenticellate, deciduously rusty-pubescent. Leaves 

 oblanceolate, the apex shortly and abruptly caudate-acuminate, gradu- 

 ally narrowed from the middle or above it to the petiole, the edges 

 entire or remotely seriate, drying of a rather dark-brown colour; upper 

 surface glabrous or with a few hairs on the midrib ; the lower paler, with 

 adpressed hairs on the midrib and sometimes also on the nerves ; main 

 nerves 8-12 pairs, spreading, interarching, slightly promiuent on the 

 lower surface only ; length 35-8 in., breadth 135-3 in.; petiole "5-L 

 in., rather stout, pubescent. Racemes terminal, often longer than the 



. subadpressed-sericeous. Flowers '45 in. long, rather crowded; 

 their pedicels 1 in. long, pubescent, with 2 linear-lanceolate bracts. 

 Calyx tube about as long as the pedicel, pubescent ; the mouth with 4
