6. Adinandra Hullettii, King, n. sp. A tree ; young branches 

 densely and minutely rusty- tomentose. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, 

 shortly acuminate, the base acute ; edges glandular, denticulate, slightly 

 recurved when dry; upper surface smooth, shining ; lower brown, dense- 

 ly and minutely tomentose, the midrib prominent ; the nerves spreading, 

 obscure, about 10 pairs; length 35 to 5"5 in., breadth 1'5 to 2'5 in., 

 petiole '25 in. Flowers "75 in. in diam. ; peduncles "4 to "5 in., tomen- 

 tose : bracteoles broadly ovate, acute, opposite, close to the calyx. 

 Sepals spreading, fleshy, all glabrous internally : the outer 2 rotund, 

 tomentose externally, larger than the others ; the inner 3 ovate-rotund, 

 tomentose externally, the edges glabrous. Petals longer than the 

 sepals, membranous, oblong, blunt, glabrous, the tips reflexed. Stamens 

 from 40 to 50, all epipetalous ; anthers densely pubescent, the connec- 

 tive with a long blunt glabrous apiculus ; filaments short, geniculate.

 xxv, 421. A tree 20 to 50 feet high : young branches with pale glabrous 

 bark, the apices and buds sericeous. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, 

 with a broad apex suddenly contracted to a short blunt acumen, narrowed 

 in the lower third to the sub-acute base ; the edges entire or faintly cre- 

 nate ; both surfaces glabrous ; the upper greenish, the lower pale yellow- 

 ish when dry : midrib bold, sometimes puberulous ; main nerves 15 to 

 20 pairs forming a double series of arches inside the margin, rather 

 prominent as are the reticulations ; length 5 to 7 in., breadth 2 to 3'25 

 in. ; petiole "25 in., stout. Flowers 1*4 in. in diam. ; peduncles 1 to 15 

 in. long, smooth : bracteoles rotund-reniform, opposite, close to the 

 calyx. Sepals spreading, fleshy with thin ciliolate edges, smooth, rotund, 

 the two outer smaller. Petals larger than the sepals, sub-coriaceous 

 with thin edges, rotund, spreading. Stamens 40 to 50, adpresscd-
