NEW AND BAKE MALAYAN PLANTS. 79 



corky bark. It was about 8 or 10 ft. tall. In life the leaves 

 and flowers suggested those of U. glabrum but they are much 

 more coriaceous, the flowers larger and rigid, the edges of 

 the petals run down nearly the whole length of the corolla 

 as ridges, and are separate or nearly separate for most of the 

 way. The whole plant is almost completely glabrous. 



Randia (Ceriscus) oocarpa, n. sp. 



Shrub. Branehlets slender, long, white-barked, spines on 

 the lower part only, 1 in. or less, terminal branehlets short, 

 distant 1 in. long, knotted. Leaves membranous ovate to ob- 

 long, obtuse or subacute base narrowed or lanceolate 1-3.5 in. 

 long, .5-125 in. across; nerves about 4 pairs, slender elevate 

 beneath, thickly sprinkled by short hairs on both sides, especial- 

 ly hairy on midrib both sides and nerves, bigger leaves becom- 

 ing glabrescent ; petiole hairy .1 or less. Stipules ovate, acu- 

 minate keeled. Flowers 1-2 terminal, white, becoming orange ; 

 pedicel .05 in. hairy. Calyx .3 in densely rather long hairy 

 lobes, ovate, less than half as long, in flower. Corolla as long 

 as calyx-tube, short, thick, hairy, white becoming orange-

This plant was identified by King with Randia Dumetorum 

 Lam., a native of India, and following the Flora of British 

 India he gives as synonyms a large number of what I should 

 consider distinct species. The nearest species to this is R. 

 stipulosa, Miq. of Java, which he gives as a synonym, but that 

 has smaller leaves and larger flowers with larger calyx lobes. 

 From the true R. dumetorum of Lamark, this species differs 

 in the thinner, larger leaves, and smaller flowers, more lax 

 habit and smaller and scantier thorns. 



Randia incurva, n. sp. 



A tree. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic, shortly acu- 

 minate, base cuneate, nerves 9 pairs, the lowest very fine from 

 the base, the others widely inarching .2-.4 in. from the edge, 

 reticulations wide 7.5-8 in. long, 2.75-3.25 in. wide; petiole 

 .3 in. long, stipules triangular mucronate. Cymes panicled 

 terminal 2.5 in. long and wide, peduncle .3 in. long and like 

 the branches, woody. Flowers numerous, fragrant. Pedicels 

 .1-.2 in. long, pubescent. Bracts small, ovate. Calyx cam- 

 panulate, pubescent .2 in long with very short teeth. Corolla, 

 cylindric, rather narrow .3 in. long, lobes oblong rounded .1 

 in. long. Anthers linear. Stigma cylindric, thick, shorter 

 than lobes.
