 3-celled. 



TILIACEAE. 



Grewia erythrocarpa, Eidl. n. sp. 



Small tree, 12-14: ft. tall. Branches hairy. Leaves lan- 

 ceolate, acute or acuminate, base round, slightly cordate and 

 inaequilateral, edges sinuate, beneath hairy, midrib sometimes 

 hairy above, nerves 10 pairs, the basal pair often halfway up the 

 leaf, reticulations and nervules prominent beneath 8-10 in. 

 long, 2.1-4 in. wide, petiole .25 in. long, thickly hairy.

Mountain Forests. Selangor, Sempang Mines (Eidlev

Mr. Drummond suggests perhaps G. perakensis, Drum., 

 but I think it is very distinct, not only in the very long narrow 

 leaves but in the pear-shaped scarlet fruits.
