Perak, Waterloo Estate 1,000 ft. (Curtis 1295). 



The only plant at all like this is M. arnottianum, Thw. 

 of Ceylon but that has 3-nerved leaves. The petals appear to 

 have been white, the calyx tinted red. 



M. terminate, Dalz. of Southern India also resembles it 

 but shows no nerves. 



Memecylon floridum, n. sp. 



Tree 40 to 50 feet tall, branches subterete, fuscous. 

 Leaves thin, coriaceous, lanceolate acuminate, nearly equally 

 to both ends, tip blunt, nerves very faint on both sides, a 

 faint intramarginal nerve along each edge rising from base, 

 laterals about 7 pairs 3-4 in. long by a 125 wide, petiole wing- 

 ed nearly to base .3 in. long. Cymes 1-3 in the axils of each 

 leaf, peduncles thick .3 in. long, bearing an umbel of three or 

 more flowers on thick .1 in. pedicels, with lanceolate, blunt 

 bracts at base. Calyx base cylindric obconic limb broad, in 

 bud widely cupular, in flower .1 across. Petals ovate, in bud 

 conic blunt. Style long and stout. 



Peeak, Larut 500-1,000 ft. Xov. 1882 (Kunstler 3551). 



I cannot fit this plant into any described species, the larger 

 flowers, and short, dense cymes and the long acuminate leaves 

 showing a distinct pair of intramarginal nerves, seem to keep 

 it distinct from anything. 



Memecylon malaccense, Clarke mss. 



M. amabile, Bedd. var. malaccensis, Clarke Flor. Brit. 

 Ind. ii, 555.

 winged branches. Leaves ovate, lanceolate, base rounded tip

 reddish beneath with no visible nerves on either surface, 2-2.75 

 by 1-1.25 in. wide, sessile or with a minute petiole. Cymes 

 very short, .3 in. long, peduncle .15 or much shorter. Flowers 

 4-5 umbelled on the end of the peduncle. Calyx cup-shaped, 

 truncate with a broad base, fleshy (drying black). Petals
