the short processes from the base of the pedicel scars. The 

 panicles are mostly really reduced to simple racemes, but 

 occasionally have one or two branches. 



Crudia lanceolata, n. sp. 



A glabrous tree. Leaves with a rhachis 1.5 in. long; leaf- 

 lets 3, subcoriaceous lanceolate or ovate acuminate obtuse, 

 base rounded, quite glabrous, nerves fine 7 pairs, reticulations 

 conspicuous beneath, drying grey 3.5 — 5. 75 in. long, 1.5 in. 

 wide, petiole .1 in. long thick. Eaceme about in. long, 

 fairly stout, puberulous. Flowers distant, .3 in. across, on 

 pedicels .3 in. long puberulous. Calyx tube short puberulous, 

 lobes oblong reflexed puberulous outside, glabrous inside. Sta- 

 mens glabrous. ■ Ovary dense pale, woolly, stalk very short. 



Kedah. Lanka wi; Gunong Eayah, (Mohamed Haniff). 



This is allied to G. gracilis, Prain, but the leaves are 

 lanceolate. The sepals, pedicels and rachis are pubescent, 

 and the flowers are distinctly pedicelled. 



ROSACEAE. 



Parastemon spicatum, n. sp. 



A glabrous shrub. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic, abrupt 

 caudate acuminate, blunt, base long narrowed, nerves 6 pairs, 

 2.5 to 2.75 in. long, 1 in. wide, petiole .15 in. long. Spike 

 axillary 3.5 in. long shortly peduncled with many very small 

 sessile flowers. Bracts linear oblong. Calyx tube short cam- 

 panulate, interior pubescent. Petals 0. Stamens 2 glabrous, 

 from the edge of the tube. 



Borneo. Sarawak, Eejang, Sibu, (Haviland and 0. Hose 

 32-10) ; and 2 miles from Kuching (Haviland 723). 



This species differs from the only other one, P. urophyl- 

 lum, in its being a shrub, (whereas the other is a large stout 

 tree) and in its flowers being sessile. 



Parinarium rubiginosum, n. sp. P. eostatum var. ruhigiuosum, 

 Bidl. in Journ. F. M. S. Mus. iv. 143. 



A tree about 20 ft. tall, the branches rather thick and 

 when young covered with velvety yellowish tomentum. Leaves 

 stiffly coriaceous, ovate lanceolate, acuminate, base rounded, 

 glabrous above, beneath pale reddish, woolly, nerves strongly 

 elevated about 20 pairs, midrib strong beneath, depressed slight- 

 ly above, 3.5- — -1 in. long, 1.25 — 1.75 in. wide, petiole red-woolly 

 .2 in. long. Panicles .5 in. long densely red woolly. Flowers 

 few hardly .2 in. long. Bracts ovate acute woolly and hairy 

 on the back. Calyx tube funnel-shaped deep woolly red out- 

 side, densely villous with long hairs inside, teeth ovate acute. 

 Petals a little longer white oblanceolate rounded, edges pubes-
