Sttbgen. I. Agralma. Stomas connate into a narrow cylindric style. •

1. K. impressum, C. B. Clarke ; leaflets (from leaves near the panicle) 

 lanceolate nearly entire nerves impressed al)ove steUately woolly beneath, petak. 

 sparingly stellate-woolly. Agalina tomentosum, Seem. Reto. Heder, 25. He-

Temperate Himalaya, alt. 6000-11,000 ft.; from KuMAONto Bhotan, frequent. 



A tree, 60 ft. Leaflets often 10 by 1\ in., rugose above from the impressed 

 nerves, lanceolate or oblanceolate, acuminate ; petiolules rarely more than 1 in. ; 

 leaflets from young trees often distantly lobed or serrate. Panicle 12-15 in., stel- 

 late-tomentose ; bracts very shortly ovate, somewhat persistent; pedicels J-J in. — 

 Seeman has applied the name H. tomentosim, to a different Malayan plant : hence the 

 new name H. impresmm. 



2. K. hypoleucuia, Kurz For. Fl. i. 539 ; leaflets with scattered lax 

 stellate wool or glaucous beneath glabrous and not rugose above, petals covered, 

 with dense stellate wool. — Araliad sp. 15, Herh. Ind. Or. H. f. ^ T.

A small branched tree. Leaflets 4-8 by 1J-3J in., those even from leaves next 

 the panicle polymorphous, oblong or ovate, acute, quite entire or serrulate or lobed or 

 irregularly pinnatifid, the stellate wool beneath deciduous, leaving a glaucous surface ; 

 petiolules ^-3 in. Panicle often 12-15 in., lower branches often elongate with seve- 

 ral umbels, stellately wooUy ; bracts shortly ovate, somewhat persistent ; pedicels 

 i-| in. — Closely allied to the preceding. From Mr. Kuxz's description it would seem 

 mat the rarer Khasian form with perfectly glabrous glaucous leaves, is the only 

 Surman one.

 oblong lanceolate glabrous not rugose above, petals glabrous or sparingly stel-
