2. K. parvifolla, W.&A. Prodr. 107, excl. syn. ; branches and shoots 

 elongate twiggy, leaves about 3 in. elliptic acute or acuminate glabrous," 

 racemes with appressed pubescence, flowers I in. diam., carpels usually' 

 without the additional wing. Gsertnera laurifolia, Herb. Madr. ex Wall. 

 Cat. 7265. 



Westbkn Peninscla; Mysota, Bottler ; Courtallum, Wight; Ceylon, hot and dry 

 parts of the Island, Gardner, &o. 



Smaller in all its parts than H. Madahlota, and with usually two styles ; the puhea- 

 cence of the iuflorescence is appressed, in which respects it differs from R. sericea. 



3. K. sericea, Hook. f. ; branchlets short slender, leaves about 2-3 in. 

 elliptic or ovate acuminate glabrous, racemes short laxly soft tomentose or 

 vHlous, flowers \-^ in. diam., carpels with. an intermediate ridge. H. parvi- 

 flora, Wight. Cat. 358. Glerodendon sericeum. Wall. Cat. 1824. 



Eastern Peninsula; Penano, WaUich; Malacca, OriMth, Maingay. 



Branches and inflorescence clothed with soft brown villous pubescence. Leaves 

 always small. Macemes axillary and terminal, short, dense-flowered ; pedicel much 

 thickened from beneath the flower downwards. — The habitat of Ceylon given by Wight 

 and Arnott is, no doubt, an error, originating with that respecting TristeUateia 

 amtralasica. 



4. K. acuminata, Wall. Cat. 1065 ; branches stout woody scabrid, 

 leaves 3-4 in. lanceolate acuminate glabrous, racemes short dense clothed 

 with thick brown tomentum, flowers | in. diam., fruit unknown. 



Khasia Mts, at Churra, alt.. 4000 ft., Oomex, &c. 



A bushy dense shrub. Leaves coriaceous, usually caudate-acuminate ; nerves very 

 oblique, few, arched, reticulate on both surfaces ; petiole short, stout. Racemes much 

 shorter than the leaves, sometimes corymbose. — A chain of very fine reticulate nerves 

 borders the leaf beneath, in which are often (not always) remote deeply impressed 

 points or glands. 



5. K. candicans, Hooh. f. ; branchlets slender and vidth the leaves 

 beneath clothed witli soft fine white oottonj; pubescence, leaves on young 

 shoots 1-2 in. oblong or orbicular on old 4-5 in. elliptic-oblong, carpels with 

 no interlnediate ridge or wing. Flacourtiacea, Wall. Cat. 9020. 



BiEMA; banks below -Yenangheum, Wallich; sandy woods in the Kivakdwong, above 

 Bamo, Griffith. 



' A very distinct species, apparently scandent or sarmentose ; the shoots with small 

 rounded leaves resemble the pinnate leaves of a Leguminous climber. The leaves are of 

 a very pale colour, rather shining on the upper surface, and all obtuse or apicnlate ; 

 the nerves are 'indistinct. There are no flowers, and only imperfect fruits, which are

HiPTAOE, Wall. Cat. 9029, from Herb. Heyne, is Terminalia paniaulata.

Shrubs, usually climbing. Leaves opposite, eglandular, quite entire; 

 stipules 0. Flmeers in simple or compound axillary and terminal panicles ; 

 peduncles bracteatCj jointed at the top, pedicels often minutely 2-bracteo- 

 late. Flowers small, yellow or white. Calyx short, 5-partite, eglandular. 

 Pefafe 6, not clawed, spreading or reflexed, quite entire. Stamens 10, all 

 perfect, filaments connate or distinct at the base. Ovary 3-lobed, lobes 

 flattened at the back, sides winged ; styles 3, glabrous, stigmas capitate. 

 Fruit oil-Z samaras; nucleus sometimes crested or winged at the back, and
