surface glabrous ; the lower pubescent, especially on tho prominent midrib 
and LI to 11 pairs of lateral nervefe; length 5'5 to 7*5 in., breadth 1"5 to 
2*5 in., petiole 2 in. ; stipules subulate, *3 in. long. Flot&ers in denso 
axillary braeteolate glomeruli. Sepals ovate, obtuse, tomentose. Bbtaht 
lanceolate, acuminate, pubescent externally, and (like the sepals) with 
an apical tuft of hairs, glabrous internally. Stamens from a short 
minutely toothed glabrous disc, the filaments shorter than tho anthers : 
anthers narrowly ovate, eaoh cell with a terminal apical seta, but with- 
out any appendage from tho connective. Ovary elongate, sparsely 
villous ; style pubescent ; stigma truncate, cup-shaped. Capsule -5 in, 
long, flocculent-tomentose, densely covered with nubrauched, subulate, 
soft, pubescent spines about '5 in. long, not felted. Seeds pale, ovoid, 
smooth, with sub-terminal papillate caruncle.

Species imperfectly, Icriown. 
15. A. PACHYCARPA, King, n. sp.^ A small treo ; tho young branches 
pale, glabrous, sparsely lenticellate. Leaves membranous, oblong-lanceo- 
late to elliptic-lanceolate, sub-acuminate, minutely and rather irregular- 
ly serrulate, the base slightly narrowed :• both surfaces glabrous, the 
lower darker in colour; nerves 11 to 14 pairs, thin, but prominent be- 
low ; length 5 to 7 in , breadth 2 to 3 iu., petiole "4 in. Sepals rotund, 
pubescent, with thin glabrous edges. Capsules on short axillary branch- 
es, usually solitary, about 1-25 in. long; the valves boat- shaped, com- 
pressed, separating when ripe into two layers, the outer dark-coloured 
and pubescent, the inner pale, smooth, cartilaginous, and bearing the 
angular smooth carunculate seeds. 
Tcrak, King's Collector No 10235: Scortechini (without number). 
A tree 20 to 25 feet high. Fresh flowers being unknown, the sec- 
tion of the genus to which this belongs cannot bo determined. Tho 
capsules, however, show that it is a distinct species. 
In addition to the foregoing, there are in the Calcutta Herbarinm 
specimens of what appear to be five distinot species of this genus. Tho 
materials are, however, insulUuieut for accurate determination.
