tho others. Tho Sumairan species A. <faijjp)jxi<: z Miq. comes very near 
this, but has longer racemes and moro hniry fruit. 
In AhoiUia btnceohita, Willi. Micro is ;i trims it ion from PentafabQ 
to Prosthesia. Many of the specimens of A. lanceolata have the single 
terminal lanceolate appendago from the apex of the comiectivo : others 
(Curtis'a Pcnang specimen) have this appendage ovato anil broader, 
while from the apex of each ant her there is a rudimentary apical ap- 
pendage, thus approaching Prosthesia. 
9. A. ScoRTKcniNii, King, n. sp. A small glabrous tree, tho branch- 
lets usually palo brown. Leaves membranous, shortly petiolate, obliquely 
elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, irregu- 
larly serrulate ; main nerves about 12 or 13 pairs, rather bold ; secondary 
nerves transverse, slightly prominent below ; length 7 to 9 in., breadth 
2 to 3 in., potiole "2 in. Racemes sessile, about '5 in. long, several toge- 
ther, axillary or extra-axillarj-, about 3 to 5-flowered, with ovato bracteo- 
les. Flowers pedicellate. Sepals puberulous, broadly ovato, much shorter 
than tho petals. Petals 5, oblanceolate, with long bluntly acuminate 
exsorted apices. Stamens glabrous, shorter than tho petals ; the filaments 
twice as long as the anthers, slender, rising from a deep, 5-lobed, slight- 
ly, notched disc; the anthers, short, ovate, with a single very small 
terminal appendage; ovary sessile, globose, glabrous, warted ; stylo 
long, cylindric, glabrous or puberulous. Ripe capsule ovoid, pointed, 
rather more than "5 in. long, glabrous, lentieellate ; valves compressed, 
pointed. Seeds 2 in each valve, sub-rotund, whitish, carunculate. 
Perak ; King's Collector, Scortecbini, Wray ; at low elevations. 
A large shrub or tiee 20 to 25 feet high. Externally this much re- 
sembles A. Maingayiy but the flowers, and especially tho anthers, differ 
much. 
10. A. COndensa, King, n, sp. A glabrous tree ; tho older branch- 
lets pale, lentieellate. Leaves membranous, shortly petiolate, inequilateral, 
elliptic to elliptic-oblong, sub-acute, serrulate, gradually narrowed below 
the middle to the acute unequal base ; shining above, darker and dull 
beneath ; midrib and 13 to 15 pairs of prominent main nerves pale and 
snb-erect beneath, secondary nerves transverse : length 8 to 14 in. 
breadth 3 to 4*5 in., petiole "25 to 35 in. ; stipules subulate, '35 to *5 in. 
Panicles axillary, crowded, much branched, spreading, 1 to 2*5 in. long, 
(longer in fruit) puberulous or glabrescent ; the bacteoles numerous, 
ovato, acute. Sepals unequal ; the outer 2 or 3 larger, rotund ; the inner 
3 or 2 ovate, pubescent on the back. Pet ah ovate, a little longer than 
sepals, rhomboid, with palo edges, villous on tho back externally and 
along the midrib internally. Stamens glabrous, the filaments i*ather 
short, from a tleshy disc : anthers cordate, with a singlo terminal whito
