to 8 in., breadth I'S to 2 in., petiole '26 in. ; stipules Qvate, only "1 in. 

 longf. Bacemes axillary, and on the older branches from the axils of 

 fallen leaves, numerous, rather dense when young, afterwards sparse 

 and open, from '75 to 1'6 in. long, bracteoles linear, pedicels as long as 

 or longer than the flowers. SepaZs ovate, equal, pubescent or glabrous. 

 Petals lanceolate with linear blunt apex, longer than the sepals, glabrous, 

 or pubescent alocg the midrib externally. Stamens glabrous, the filaments 

 as long as the rather deep disc. Anthers broadly ovate, the base cordate, 

 almost sub-reniform, the cells each with an apical point and with a broad 

 membranous ovate acute dorsal appendage wider than the anther. Ovary 

 sessile, pubescent ; the style cyliudric, glabrous ; the stigma cup-shaped, 

 truncate. Oapsiile ovoid, compressed, obtusely angled, glabrous, reticu- 

 late, "5 in. long; the valves unequal, obtuse, compressed, sub-faloate: seeds 

 sub-globose, j)ale, minutely mottled at the apex, the base with a papillate 

 pitted caruncle. 



Perak ; at low elevations, Scorteohini, Wray, King's Collector. 



A tree from 20 to 30 feet in height ; readily distinguished by its 

 open, comparatively long, racemes. This closely resembles Blumo's 

 Prosthesia Javanica. 



6. A, Weayi, King, )i. sp. A sub-glabrous shi-ub, the branchlets 

 with pale brown puberulous bark, rarely lenticellate. Loaves membranous, 

 glabrous, shining, shortly petiolate, oblanceolato, shortly acuminate, 

 distinctly serrulate, narrowed to the base, length 3'5 to 4'5 rarely 6 to 

 7 in., breadth 1 to 2 in,, petiole '1 to 2 in. ; stipules linear, only -1 in. 

 long. liacemes vei-y short, ci'ovpded, axillary or extra axillary, '25 in. 

 long ; bracteoles broadly ovate, pubescent. Sepals lanceolate, tomentose 

 externally. Petals oblong, obtuse, thickened and tomentose along the 

 midrib. Stamens from the inside of a disc which is as deej) as the 

 filaments are long. Anther ovate- cordate, with a doi'sal, ovate-acute, 

 membranous appendage as broad as itself, and a terminal apical processes 

 on each cell. Ovary sessile, densely villous as is the base of the 

 cyliudric stylo: Stigma sub-capitate. Capsule minutely fulvous-velvetty 

 when young, glabrous when old, ovoid with obtuse angles, 1-25 in. 

 or more long and '75 in. in diam. ; the valves blunt, narrow. Seeds 

 ovoid, brown, mottled, with sub-apical papillate pitted caruncle. 



Perak; at low elevations ; Scoitechini, Wray, King's Collector, 

 A shrub 8 to 10 feet high. In respect of leaves very like A. 

 HooTceriana, but smaller. The very short racemes, more hairy flowers 

 and larger velvetty capsules distinguish it, however, from that species. 



7. A. CINEBEA, King, n. sp. A glabrous shrub or small tree, the 

 branchlets whitish, sparsely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, elliptic-ovate 

 or lanceolate,' sometimes oblanceolato, acuniiuato, narrowed at the base,
