NEW AND RARE MALAYAN PLANTS. 7 
intramarginal nerve, petiole 34, inch long. Flowers in short axil- 
lary:racemes about 1 inch long, in the axils of fallen leaves, about 
6 in a raceme small white. Bracts linear subulate ~5 inch long. 
Petals 4 inch or less. Flowers unisexual or often so. Males 
slightly larger than the females. Buds globose. Sepals orbicular 
ciliate glandular. Petals obovate ciliate, obtuse. Stamens very 
numerous as long as the petals. Females buds clove-shaped, sepals 
smaller, petals shorter and rounder. Stamens abortive, filaments 
very short, anthers rounded. Style moderately stout filiform. 
Berry % inch long, globular five or four ridged, crowned by the 
persistent calyx lobes, septate with cells containing single seeds. 
Seeds 4-5 brown reniform with a rounded back, and rather short 
inner edge. 
Kedah Peak: Gunong Jerai (Ridley 53856, 5857, 5209); Mt. 
Ophir (Ridley 3310), (Hullett 775), (Derry 608). 
The Mount Ophir form has often much larger leaves, 3 inches 
long 14 inch wide, more strongly veined, and larger racemes than 
that.of Kedah Peak, and might be made a variety, but I obtained a 
form on Mt. Ophir which exactly resembled the Kedah Peak one. 
This plant I refer to the genus Decaspermum as it most closely 
resembles D. paniculatum although it has but five seeds. The 
genera Myrtus, Decaspermum and ‘Rhodamnia are really very close- 
ly allied, the differences in the ovary being but slight. 
Hugenia auriculata, n. sp. 
A tree, branches stout 4 inch through bark pale. Leaves 
stiffly coriaceous elliptic obtuse base rounded auricled nearly sessile, 
glabrous midrib prominent beneath, nerves 12 pairs visible above 
very inconspicuous beneath interarching into an intramarginal 
vein, 6 to 9 inches long, 3 inches wide. Flowers fascicled on short 
stout peduncle from the sides of the branches or terminal white. 
Calyx tube campanulate narrowed to the base but not pseudo stalked 
2 inch long, mouth as broad with 4 short obscure rounded lobes, 
pustulate, hardly distinct. Petals oblong thick obtuse 4 inch long. 
Stamens very numerous. 
Dindings: Lumut (Ridley 8376). 
This species is alhed to #. perakensis, King, but the nervation 
of the leaves is quite different, the leaf being thicker and the nerves 
close and inconspicuous, the calyx also has no pseudo-stalk as in 
that species. 
Hugenia longicauda, n. sp. 
Branches rather slender. Leaves lanceolate elongate acuminate 
narrowed at the base very coriaceous, glabrous above deeply punctate 
with the nerves hardy visible, beneath reddish brown not punctate, 
nerves very inconspicuous g pairs, with an intramarginal nerve 
close to the edge, 1-14 inch long 4-4 inch wide, petiole 4 + inch long, 
transversely rugose. Flowers in short few flowered axillary and 
terminal racemes in the upper part of the branches, peduncle very
