NEW AND RARE SPECIES OF MALAYAN PLANTS. 191 



soft tomentose on both sides at first, later glabrescent above 

 and beneath except the nerves, areolation very inconspicuous, 

 nerves from leaf-base 3, stout elevate beneath, finer above, 

 nervules from outer pair inarching .05 in. from the edge con- 

 spicuously, from central to outer pair undulate horizontal, 

 numerous elevated, all invisible on upper surface .5 in. long, 

 1.75-2.5 in. wide, petiole thick, woolly .25 in. Panicles axillary 

 and terminal, woolly-tomentose 2.5-4 in. long, branches 

 1 in. or Jess moderate stout. Flowers .15 in. long on thick 

 short pedicels, woolly. Perianth tube funnel-shaped short, 

 lobes rounded elliptic silky inside and out. Stamens rows 1 

 and 2, broad, anthers oblong silky, 3rd row oblong, hairy, 

 glands blunt, cordate. Staminodes, fleshy sagittate. Style 

 thick. Stigma peltate. 



Pahang, Gunong Tahan, Teku Woods (Ridley 16110). 



Xear C. mollissimum of Penang and Perak, but the soft 

 felted tomentum is Aery different, the leaves more ovate, glau- 

 cous with strongly elevate nerves and nervules, inflorescence 

 stouter and flowers larger. 



Cinnarnomum Kunstleri, Eidl. n. sp. 



Tree with spreading branches 30-40 feet tall, stem 8-12 

 in. throus'h. Leaves coriaceous, very glossy green, purplish 

 when young, elliptic, blunt, glabrous with nerves sunk above, 

 the three main nerves rising .2 in. from base, beneath pubes- 

 cent hairy, transverse nervules not parallel and horizontal but 

 forked 6-7 in. long, 3 in. wide, petiole thick .25 in. long. 

 Panicle slender, hairy 1-3 in axils, 3-6 in. long (including 

 peduncle 1.5-3 in. long). Branches distant in subopposite 

 pairs 1 in. long, pedicels as long as flowers .08 in., perianth tube 

 very short, silky, lobes ovate, blunt. Stamens filaments rather 

 long, hairy, broad, anthers broad opening with large lower 

 cells, of 3rd row anthers narrower, cells opening laterally, 

 glands cordate, blunt. Staminodes cordate villous, 



Perak, Larut, dense jungle, low wet ground, within a 

 100 ft. (Kunstler 5568). 



This has been referred by Gamble to C. mollissimum, 

 Hook, f., but it really has much more of the habit of O. java- 

 nicum from which it is distinct in the venation which is not 

 parallel horizontal but broken up, and the inflorescence which 

 is more slender with few short branches and smaller flowers. 

 C. mollissimum is a woolly shrub with much smaller ovate 

 acute leaves. 



Nothophoebe condensa, Eidl. n. sp. 



Tree. Young parts puberulous, branches black. Leaves 

 chartaceous obovate oblanceolate, subacute, base long narrow, 

 nerves 5 pairs, elevate beneath inarching, transverse nervules
