210 Gr. King — -Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. [No. 4, 



puberulous externally, lined inside with dense white hairs : seeds 2, 

 black, sinning. 



Perak: Wray, No. 2618 and 3266; King's collector, No. 7489. 



A very distinct species, recognisable at once by its long and com- 

 paratively large leaflets, small cymes, and large cocci. 



6. Evodia filulifera, King n. sp. A shrub 10 to 25 feet high : 

 young branches rather slender, flattened at the nodes, minutely tawny- 

 tomentose, the bark pale. Leaves 3-foliolate, the petiole 3 to 4'25 in. 

 long, terete, grooved in front, deciduously tawny-tomentose ; leaflets 

 thinly coriaceous, petiolulate, oblong-elliptic, tapering to each end, the 

 apex shortly acuminate, the base very narrow ; both surfaces glabrous, 

 the lower paler when dry : main nerves 9 or 10 pairs, oblique, interarch- 

 ing boldly well within the edge, prominent on the lower, depressed 

 on the upper surface when dry ; length 3*5 to 8 in, ; breadth 1*25 to 

 2*75 in. ; petiolule "15 to 1 in., the middle leaflet rather larger than the 

 lateral. Cymes everywhere tawny-tomentose, axillary, on long peduncles ; 

 the branches few, opposite, each bearing towards the apex a few dense - 

 sub-globose masses of flowers. Flowers less than - 1 in. long. Sejials 

 ovate, acute, densely tawny-tomentose. Petals glabrous. Ovary villous. 

 Cocci, slightly compressed, ovoid, blunt, minutely tawny-tomentose 

 outside, the interior glabrous, '2 in. long. Seed solitary, shining. 



Perak : Scortechini, No. 360 ; "Wray, No. 2995 ; King's collector, 

 No. 6275. 



This species is readily distinguished by its minutely tomentose 

 few-branched cymes, each bearing a few densely crowded heads of small 

 flowers. 



7. Evodia pachtphylla, King n. sp. A small tree 10 to 15 feet 

 high ; young branches flattened at the nodes, minutely rufous-tomentose, 

 as are the petiole, under surfaces of the midribs and peduncles of the 

 cymes. Leaves 3-foliolate, the petiole 2"5 to 3 in. long : leaflets very 

 coriaceous, oval to elliptic, obtuse or sub-acute, the base slightly cuneate, 

 the edges revolute when dry; upper surface glabrous, shining, the 

 lower pale, glaucous ; main nerves 8 to 12 pairs, sub-horizontal, curving 

 slightly, interarchitig within the edge, slightly prominent on the lower 

 surface when dry, the midrib very bold ; length 2 - 25 to 3"75 in., breadth 

 1*2 to 225 in., petiolule "35 to "5 in. Cymes axillary, pedunculate, 

 the branches few, short, close together ; peduncles 1 to 1*5 in. long. 

 Floivers 25 in. long, in dense sub-globular masses. Sepals broadly 

 ovate, acute, olivaceous-tomentose externally, glabrous internally. 

 Petals erect, ovate-lanceolate, pubescent on both surfaces, the edges 

 glabrous. Stamens not exserted. Ovary glabrous. Cocci 2 or 3 from 

 each flower, sub-compressed, ovate, blunt, pale and puberulous exter- 

 nally, glabrous within. Seed solitary, black, shining.
