of this character alone, the two must be kept distinct. This species is 

 readily known by its boldly 5 to -7-nerved leaves and bard, globular, 

 small fruit. 



28. Gaecinia ueophtlla, Scortechini MSS. A tree ; the branchlets 

 very slender, terete, yellowish. Leaves thinly coriaceous, ovate-lanceolate, 

 caudate-acuminate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces shining, the lower 

 pale ; nerves 4 to 5 pairs, ascending, distinct below when dry ; length 2*25 

 to 3 in., breadth \7 to P2 in., petiole '15. Male flowers - 2 in. in diam., 

 solitary or in pairs, from small bracteolate axillary tubercles : buds 

 globose, pedicels 1 in. or less ; sepals 4, obtuse, sub-coriaceous, concave, 

 subequal, ovate-orbicular; petals 4, orbicular, almost flat, very fleshy, 

 much thickened near the base ; stamens about 12, in a single group, with 

 flat circular tops, the connective in the middle, and the anther round 

 the edge dehiscing circumferentially ; filaments thick, fleshy : rudy. 

 stigma 0. Female jloivers axillary, solitary, sub-sessile : sepals and petals 

 as in the male ; staminodes about 6, free : ovary cylindric ; stigma 

 convex, boldly lobulate and deeply 4-cleft. Fruit ovoid-orbicular "4 in. 

 long by '35 in. in diam., smooth, crowned by the sessile lobulate stigma.

In the size and shape of the leaves, this has a superficial resena- 

 bance to G. rostrata, eugenicefolia and merguensis ; but the nerves are 

 only 4 or 5, while in these the nerves are numerous. Moreover the 

 androecium of this is totally different. 



29. Gaecinia unifloea, King, n. sp. A small tree ; the young 

 branches rather stout, terete, of a dirty yellow when dry. Leaves ovate- 

 oblong to elliptic-oblong, the apex abruptly shortly and sharply acuminate, 

 the base cuneate ; both surfaces dull, the lower pale and opaque ; main 

 nerves 12 to 20 pairs, thin, but rather prominent, the secondary nerves 

 almost as distinct ; length 5 - 5 to 7'5 in., breadth 2'5 to 4"25 in. ; petiole 

 "75 to 1 in. thick, channelled. Male floiuers '75 in. in diam., solitary, sessile 

 in the axils of fallen leaves, buds globular : sepals 4, sub-equal, obovate- 

 orbicular, membranous, veined, concave ; petals 4, orbicular, concave, 

 fleshy, smaller than the sepals ; stamens rather numerous, in an undi- 

 vided globose mass ; anthers sessile, peltate, or sub-globose with flat tops, 

 dehiscing by a circular infra- marginal slit. Female Jloivers solitary and 

 axillary like the males, and with a similar perianth ; staminodes ; 

 stigma convex, deeply papillose ; the ovary short, cylindric. Fruit un- 

 known.
