3. A. Mainoayi, Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. i. 188. A small tree, glabrous 
except the inflorescence. Leaves membranous, nearly sessile, elliptic, 
acute or sub-acuminate, serrulate, the base rounded ; main nerves 10 to 
12 pairs, prominent below as are the trans verse secondary nerves ; length 
5 to 6 in., breadth 2 5 to 2'75 in., petiole '15 in. ; stipules lanceolate, '25 in. 
long. Umbels axillary, solitary, on peduncles *5 in. long, 8 to 16-flowered ; 
the bracteolcs, small, ovate. Sepals imbricate, ovate-rotund, or broadly 
ovate, obtuse, villous in the middle externally. Petals longer than the 
sepals, ovate, concave, villous in the middle externally and with a villous 
line along tho midrib internally. Stamens with short, thick, densely 
tomentose filaments inserted on a thick, sub-glabrous, fleshy disc : con- 
nective fcomentose behind. Anthers elongate-ovate, witb 2 ovate 
setose anterior, and 1 broad sub-terminal ovate, dorsal appendages. 
Ovary sub-globular, style thick, both densely villous-tomentose. Capsule 
ovoid, sparsely strigose, the valves acute. Seeds with a white spongy 
caruncle.

4. A. mkmbraxcea, King, n. sp, A tree or shrub, the young branches 
shortly pubescent or tomentose. Leaves thin when dry, obliquely 
obovate-elliptic, shortly and rather abruptly acuminate, serrate, the 
base narrowed, rather unequal-sided, both surfaces glabrous, except 
the midrib and 6 to 8 pairs of pubescent arching nerves, the reti- 
culations wide ; length 5 to 7 in., breadth 2'5 to 3 in. ; petiole pu- 
bescent, "5 in. long; stipules subulate, pubescent, -2 in. long. Raceme* 
axillary, condensed, sessile, shorter than the petioles, few-flowered. 
Sepals 5, unequal, the outer 2 rather smaller than the inner, all broadly 
ovate-obtuse, pubescent externally. Petals 5, obovate-oblong, obtuse, 
the margins ciliolate with a few adpressed hairs on tho back. Stamens 
5, glabrous, the filaments very Bhort, rising from a fleshy 5-lobed disc. 
Anthers broadly cordate or sub-reniform, with 2 small subulate processes 
on the apices of the cells and a large dorsal, cordate-acuminate, brown, 
membranous appendage as wide as the anther. Ovary sessile, ovoid, 
villose: style cylindric, glabrous ; stigma cup-shaped. Capsule ovoid, 
glabrous, the valves in dehiscence blunt: seeds sub-globular with a 
beaked caruncle.

A shrub or small tree. This comes near A. dasycaula, Miq. in 
externals ; but has fewer-nerved, more glabrous leaves. 
5. A. Hookeriana, King, n. sp. A small glabrous tree, the branch- 
lets lenticellate. Leaves membranous, shining, shortly petiolato, elongate- 
oblanceolato or lanceolate, apex shortly and rather bluntly acuminate, 
entire or obscurely serrulate, gradually narrowed below tho middle to 
the base; nerves 7 to 9 paiis, arching, slight lv prominent ; length 5
