fallen leaves, numerous, rather dense when young, afterwards sparse 
and open, from '75 to 1'5 in. long-, bracteoles linear, pedicels as long as 
or longer than the flowers. Sepals ovate, equal, pubescent or glabrous. 
Petals lanceolate with linear blunt apex, longer than the sepals, glabrous, 
or pubescent along the midrib externally. Stamens glabrous, the filaments 
as long as the rather deep disc. Anthers broadly ovate, the base cordate, 
almost sub-reniform, tbe cells each with an apical point and with a broad 
membranous ovate aeuto dorsal appendage wider than the anther. Ovary 
sessile, pubescent j the style cylindric, glabrous ; the stigma cup-shaped, 
truncate. OapsuU ovoid, compressed, obtusely angled, glabrous, reticu-

A tree from 20 to 30 feet in height ; readily distinguished by its 
open, comparatively long, racemes. This closely resembles Blume's 
I'rost hesia Java n ica . 
G. A. Wbayi, King, n, sp. A sub-glabrous shrub, the branchlets 
with pale brown puberulous bark, rarely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, 
glabrous, shining, shortly petiolate, oblauceolate, shortly acuminate, 
distinctly BOrmlato, narrowed to the base, length 3'5 to 4 5 rarely G to 
7 in., breadth 1 to 2 in., petiole '1 to 2 in. ; stipules linear, only "1 in. 
long. Racemes very short, crowded, axillary or extra axillary, '25 in. 
long; bracteoles broadly ovate, pubescent, fcepals lanceolate, tomentose 
externally. Petals oblong, obtuse, thickened and tomentose along the 
midrib. Stamens from tbe inside of a disc which is as deep as the 
filaments are long. Anther ovate-cordate, with a dorsal, ovate-acute, 
membranous appendage as broad as itself, and a terminal apical processes 
on each cell. Ovary sessile, densely villous as is tho base of the 
cylindric stylo : Stigma sub-capitate. Capsule minutely fnlvous-velvetty

A shrub 8 to 10 feet high. In respect of leaves very like A. 
JIookcriana t but smaller, Tho very short racemes, more hairy flowers 
and larger velvetty capsules distinguish it, however, from that species.

branchlets whitish, sparsely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, elliptic-ovate 
or lanceolate, sometimes oblauceolate, acuminate, narrowed at the base,
