4. Oalophtllum Prainianum, King, n. sp. A glabrous tree 40 to 60 

 feet high ; the youngest branchlets polished, terete, yellowish. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, shortly sub-abruptly and obtusely 

 acuminate, narrowed in the lower third to the short petiole ; the nerves 

 rather distinct on both surfaces ; lower surface paler than upper, both 

 shining ; the edge pale yellow, very slightly thickened ; length 2"5 to 

 4 in., breadth 1 to 1*5 in., petiole 2"5 to 4 in. Racemes solitary, axillary, 

 rarely supra-axillary, about 15 in. long, ebracteate, lax, few-flowered. 

 Flowers '25 in. in diam. ; pedicels slender, '25 in., the upper rather 

 longer. Sepals 4 ; the outer pair orbicular, concave, jDuberulous exter- 

 nally ; the inner pair larger, imbricate, orbicular-oblong, glabrous. 

 Ovary ovoid, stigma very broad. Fruit spherical, '4 in. in diam., 

 crowned by the thin style, pericarp thin. 



Perak ; King's Collector, Nos. 5366 and 7243. 



Very like 0. pulcherrimum, but with globular fruit : also like G. 

 Teysmannii, but the nervation of the leaves in that species is unusually 

 oblique for the genus, whereas in this the nerves are almost horizontal. 



5. Oalophtllum floribundum, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Iud. I, 272. A 

 tree ? much branched and everywhere glabrous ; branchlets glaucous, 

 4-angled, as thick as a crow-quill. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-lanceolate, 

 obtusely acuminate, the edges thickened and pale, the base acuminate, the 

 numerous nerves and midrib most distinct on the under sub-glaucescent 

 surface, upper surface shining ; length P24 to 1'5 in., breadth '5 to - 6 in., 

 petiole "25 in. Racemes from most of the leaf-axils erecto-patent, more 

 than half as long as the leaves ; pedicels opposite, spreading, not much 

 longer than the diameter of the flowers. Flowers '25 in. in diam. The 

 outer pair of sepals broadly ovate, sub-acute, the inner broadly obovate, 

 blunt, membranous. Stamens numerous, style not longer than the sepals. 



Malacca; Maingay, Nos. 170, 171. 



This is closely allied to 0. pulcherrimum, Wall., but has smaller 

 leaves, the racemes are more numerous and longer in proportion to the 

 leaves, while the pedicels of individual flowers are much shorter. 



6. Calophtllum spectabile, Willd. A tall tree ; when adult all 

 parts glabrous, the buds and young parts ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, narrowly or broadly oblong, rarely elliptic, sub-acute or 

 obtuse, undulate, the base cuneate ; both surfaces shining, the nerves 

 very numerous, the midrib strong; length 6 to 12 in., breadth 15 to 3 

 in., petiole '5 to '75 in. Racemes umbelliform, axillary, solitary, lax, 

 few-flowered, "5 in. in diam. ; pedicels slender, - 5 in. Sepals orbicular, 

 glabrous. Ripe fruit spherical, - 75 in. in diam. DC. Prod, i, 562 ; Choisy 

 Guttif. Ind. 43, in part ; Planch, and Triana Mem. Guttif. 238 ; Wight
