This is so unlike any described species of Santiria that, in spite 

 of the absence of flowers on the only specimens I have seen, I have 

 ventured to name it. The small size of the tree and the large size of 

 its leaves make it easy of recognition in the genus. 



9. Santiria Wrayi, King n. sp. A tree 20 to 30 feet high : young 

 branches very thick, ( - 75 to 1 in. in diam.) Leaves 12 to 30 in. long; 

 the rachises trigonous, channelled in the lower part and almost winged 

 at the base, puberulous. Leaflets 13 to 15, membranous, oblong to 

 elliptic-oblong, very shortly and bluntly acuminate ; the base rounded, 

 slightly oblique ; upper surface shining, olivaceous when dry, the lower 

 pale brown, both glabrous and reticulate ; main nerves 10 to 15 pairs, 

 spreading, curving, slightly prominent beneath, length 6 to j1 in., 

 breadth 2*5 to 4 in. ; petiolules thickened at both ends, '5 to 1 in., the 

 terminal one more than twice as long. Panicles 3 or 4 in. long, several 

 densely crowded in the axils of one leaf, ebracteolate, puberulous or 

 glabrescent below, the ultimate branches scurfy rufous-puberulous. 

 Flowers 1 or '15 in. long, shorter than the pedicels. Calyx cupular, the 

 mouth with 3, broad, shallow teeth, glabrous, with a few hairs near the 

 edge. Petals valvate, rotund, glabrous, rather fleshy. Stamens 6 ; the 

 anthers ovate, longer than the flattened filaments which are inserted 

 on the outside of the edge of the ring-like, fleshly, glabrous, corrugated 

 disc. Rudimentary ovary small, ovoid. Female flowers unknown. Ripe 

 drupes obliquely ovoid, slightly compressed, blunt at each end, *6 to 75 in. 

 long, glabrous, the scar of the stigma approximated to the peduncle, 

 peduncle "5 in. long.

Allied to S. conferta, but with larger leaves and fruit, much less 

 hairy panicles, and perfectly glabrous leaves. 



10. Santiria apiculata, A. W. Benn. in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 

 537. A tree 20 to 50 feet high : young branches with pale bark, 

 puberulous. Leaves 6 to 8 in. long, stipules (if any) deciduous. Leaflets 

 membranous, oblong, elliptic-oblong to ovate, more or less bluntly acu- 

 minate, the base rounded or cuneate, glabrous on both surfaces and reti- 

 culate especially on the lower; main nerves rather irregular, about 8 

 pairs, ascending, curved, slightly prominent beneath, length 35 to 5'5 

 in., breadth 175 to 2*25 in. ; petiolules '4 to '6 in., the terminal longer. 

 Panicles axillary, slender, shorter than the leaves, more or less pyrami- 

 dal, glabrous, the flowers small and crowded near the puberulous
