Goniothalamus stenophyllus sp. noy. 
Arbor, floribus exceptis glabra; ramis ramulisque tenuibus; 
foliis lineari-lanceolatis, chartaceis, olivaceis, nitidis, 20-30 cm. 
longis, 1.5-2.5 cm. latis, basi acutis vel subrotundatis, apice 
acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 23, supra impressis, subtus 
perspicuis, arcuato-anastomosantibus, reticulis Jlaxis, obscuris; 
floribus caulinis vel in ramis vetustioribus solitariis vel fasciculatis, 
circiter 2.3 cm. longis, petalis exterioribus parcissime pubescentibus, 
lanceolatis, 7 vel 8 mm. latis, interioribus crassissime coriaceis, 
ovato-lanceolatis, utrinque pubescentibus, 10-12; mm. longis; 
antheris 2.5 mm. longis, connectivo apiculato ; carpellis numerosis, 
oblongis, cupreo- -hirsutis, l-ovulatis. 
A shrub or small tree entirely glabrous except the flowers. 
Branches and branchlets slender, pale when dry, terete or the 
branchlets somewhat enlarged and shghtly compressed at the 
nodes. Leaves chartaceous, olivaceous and shining on both sur- 
faces, linear-lanceolate 20 to 30 cm. long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. wide, 
narrowed upward to the acuminate apex, the base rather abruptly 
acute, sometimes rounded; lateral nerves impressed on the upper 
surface, very prominent on the lower surface, the latter about 23 
on each side of the midrib, straight or somewhat curved, 
anastomosing directly with the somewhat arched, equally distinct, 
submarginal nerves, the reticulations lax, obscure. Flowers cauline 
or on ie larger lve meine below the eames. solitary or fascicled, 
about 2.3 cm. long, their pedicels pubescent, 3 to 4 mm. in length. 
Sepals ovate, prominently acuminate, slightly pubescent, obscurely 
nerved, about 6 mm. long, 4.5 mm. wide. Outer petals lanceolate, 
about 2.3 cm. long, 7 to 8 mm. wide, acuminate, slightly pubescent ; 
inner petals much thickened, ovate-lanceolate, about 12 mm. long, 
blunt-acuminate, pubescent, the upper portion of the cone 
triangular. Carpels many, oblong, 1-ovulate, 1.5 mm. long, ap- 
pressed-pubescent; styles elongated, pubescent, 3 to 3.5 mm. long; 
stigmas somewhat expanded not lobed nor toothed. Anthers 
oblong, 2.5 mm. long, their connectives apiculate. 
Sarawak, Siol, Native collector 2423, February to June, 1914, 
the flowers indicated as yellow. A very strongly marked species 
readily recognizable by its chartaceous, linear-lanceolate, pro- 
minently nerved leaves, the midrib, lateral and marginal nerves 
being impressed on the upper surface and very prominent on the 
lower surface. 
Goniothalamus nitidus sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 7 m. alta, ramulis junioribus plus minusve 
cupreo- vel castaneo-pubescentibus, ramis glabris; foltis olivaceis, 
utrinque nitidis, supra glabris, subtus glabris vel parce 
pubescentibus, chartaceis, oblongis vel oblongo-ellipticis, 22-30 
cm. longis, apice abrupte obtuseque acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis
