1. Orophea setosa, King, n. sp. A shrub : young branches densely 

 covered with a layer of minute pubescence with numerous, long, brown- 

 ish, straight bristles projecting beyond it ; the older branches dark- 

 coloured and almost glabrous. Leaves membranous, oblong or oblong- 

 oblanceolate, shortly acuminate, the bs>se rounded : main nerves 8 to 

 1 pairs, oblique, inter-arching near the edge ; both surfaces sparsely 

 setose more densely so on the midrib and nerves, the lower also with 

 sparse, minute pubescence ; length 5 5 to 75 in , breadth 2 to 2 - 75 in., 

 petiole '05 in., setose. Flowers solitary, extra-axillary, about - 2 in. in 

 diam. when expanded : pedicels very slender, "75 in. long, pubescent, 

 with a single minute bracteole below the middle. Sepals sub-orbicular, 

 blunt. Outer petals much larger than the sepals, broadly ovate, sub- 

 acute, pubescent outside and glabrous inside like the sepals. Inner 

 petals longer than the outer, vaulted, *22 in. long, the limb trapezoid- 

 sagittate, pubescent on the back and edges, glabrous in front ;-the claw- 

 narrow, shorter than the limb. Male flower stamens numerous, cuneate, 

 the connective broadly truncate at the apex. Ovaries unknown. Ripe 

 carpels 4 or 5, sessile, globose or oblong-globose, - 3 in. in diam., 

 densely and minutely pubescent and with a few long seta? besides.
