Perak, Pangkore. Diatrib. Sumatra. 
This comes very near X. Palcmbanicum, but is distinguished from 
that species by its more robust branches, longer leaves, and velvetty fruit 
which is not vertically ridged. The two are, however, closely allied. 
7. Xanthopuyllum Wrayi, King, n. sp. A shrub 3 to 8 feet high, 
the young branches puberulous. Leaves sub-coriaceous, drying a pale yel- 
lowish green, elliptic to oblong, more or less acuminate, the base rounded 
or narrowed ; upper surface shining; lower slightly dull, pale and rather 
minutely reticulate ; the main nerves 10 to 13 pairs, prominent, forming 
arches *2 in. within the edge ; length 6 to 10 in., breadth 2*25 to 4 5 in. 
petiole '3 to '6 in. Flowers "35 in. long, their pedicels shorter than the 
calyx, in terminal or axillary racemes or small panicles less than a third 
of the length of the leaves. Sepals ovate, blunt, puberulous. Petals 
oblong, obtuse, puberulous in the upper, pubescent in the lower, half. 
Filaments fiat, pubescent. Ovary on a glabrous stalk, densely villous, 
4-ovuled, the disc glabrous. Fruit globose, 75 iu. in diam. ; when young 
sericeous, when ripe quite glabrous and boldly verrucose. 
Penang, Curtis ; No. 677. Perak, King's Collector, Wray. 
This is not unliko X. ajjlne, Korth, but is distinguished from that 
species by its sericeous ovary and deeply warted fruit. In its fruit this 
resembles X. Palevibanicum and eurynchum ; but it differs from both in 
its much larger aud more numerously veined leaves. 
8. Xanthopuylum Curtisii ? King, n. sp. A glabrous tree, 30 to 50 
feet high. Young branches rather robust, dark brown, glabrous. Leaves 
coriaceous, drying brown, ovate-lanccolato, shortly acuminate, the baso 
rounded or cuneate ; both surfaces smooth, dull ; the lower paler, minute- 
ly reticulate ; main ucrves 5 to 6 pairs, not much more prominent than the 
secondary nerves ; length 3 to 5 in., breadth 1 to 1*3 in., petiole *4 in. 
Flowers "4 in. long, tho pedicels about as long as the calyx. Panicles axillary 
or terminal, few-branched, nearly as long as tho leaves. Sepah nearly 
equal, rotund, tomentose. Petals oblong, obtuse, glabrous except the 
broadly obovato pubescent keel. Filaments with an ovoid pubescent 
swelling near the base. Ovary sessile, ridged, pubescent, 2 to 4-ovulcd, 
thick walled, surronnded by a fleshy glabrous slightly angled but not 
wavy disc. Style conical, pubescent. Fruit (very young) globose, 
to7nentose. 
Penang, Curtis ; No. 1591 Singapore, Murton. 
The leaves of this dry of an olivaceous brown colour. 
Ripe fruit is unknown. Curtis' No. 1486 from Penang, of which I 
have seen no very complete specimen, is probably a variety of this with 
leaves more attenuated to both base aud apex, and with longer moru 
spreading panicles.
