Perak. Father Scortechini, 
Ripe fruit is unknown and it is possible that the seeds may be 
aril late. It lias, however, the facies of a DUlenia rather than of a Wor~ 
mia. In leaf this resembles J), eximia, Miq., but that plant has broader 
leaves much more narrowed to the base. It also resembles D. grandi- 
folia, Wall., but is distinguished by its closer nerves and remarkable 
areolar reticulations. 
Species imperfectly known. 
5. D. GKAXDIFOLIA] Wall. Leaves oblong-lancoolate, acute, serrate, 
Boftly hairy above, tomentose beneath ; nerves about 40 to 50 pairs, trans- 
verse : length of blade 24s in., breadth 9 in. ; petioles stout, 5 to 0 in. long, 
densely tomentose as is the midrib. H. f. & Th. Fl. Ind. I, 71 ; Hook, 
fil. Fl. Br. Ind. I, 38. Miq. FJ. Ind. Bat. Vol. I, pfc. ii, 12. 
Penang and Malacca. 
Known only by a few imperfect specimens in Herb. Wallich. 
D. eximia, Miq., from Sumatra, is a species also known only by a few 
leaf specimens which I have examined. The two differ as above described 
and may belong to Wormia. 
Order III. MAGETOLIACEiE. 
Trees or shrubs, sometimes climbing, often aromatic, wood-tissue 
with glandular markings. Leaves, alternate, quite entire or toothed, 
stipulate or not. Flowers axillary and terminal, often showy, white, 
yellow or red, sometimes unisexual. Sepals and petals very deciduous, 
hypogynous, arranged in whorls of 3. Stamens indefinite, hypogynous, 
filaments flattened or terete, free or monadclpbous ; anthers busifixed, ad- 
nate cells bursting longitudinally. Carpels indefinite, free or partly 
cohering in one whorl, or in soveral on an elongate axis ; styles short or 
rarely long, stigmatose on the inner surface; ovules 2 or more, on the 
ventral suture, anatropous or araphitropous. Fruit baccate, or follicular, 
or of woody dehiscent carpels, which are sometimes arranged in a cone. 
Seeds solitary or few, sometimes pendulous from a long fnnicle, testa 
single and cmstaceous, or double, the outer fleshy ; albumen granular or 
fleshy and oily ; embryo minute, cotyledons spreading, radicle short, 
blunt, next the hilum. — Distrih. Chiefly natives of the tropical and 
temperate Asiatic mountains and United States, a few are Australian ; 
species about 80. 
Tribe I. Magnoli'u. Flower* bisexual. Erect shrubs or trees. Sti- 
pities conspicuous, convolute and embracing the leaf-buds, deciduous. 
CarpeU on an elongated axis. 
Carpels not separating from the carpophore ;
