buds, petioles and inflorescence ferruginous-pubescent, sub-pulverulent. 
Leaves coriaceous, narrowly elliptic, blunt or rctusc, t lie base narrowed ; 
npper aarface glabrous, shining ; t!ie lower rather dull, pnbescent on the 
prominent midrib ; the nerves rather distinct on both surfaces ; length 2 
to 2' 75 in., breadth 1 to 1"4 in., petiole '4 in. Bacemes solitary or two to- 
gether, axillary, umbellate, compact, 3 to 5-flowered, ferruginous-tomen- 
tose, much shorter than the leaves and with several navicular ferruginous- 
tomentose bracts at their base. Flowers 25 in. in diara,, the pedicels '2 
long, more than twice as long in fruit, and the uppermost the longest. 
Sepals 4 ; the outer oblong, sub-obovate, ferruginous- tomentose ; tho 
inner smaller, oblong, sub-glabrous. Petals 0. Fruit ovoid. 
Penang ; on Government Hill, at 500 feet, Curtis, No. 523. 
A very distinct species ripe fruit of which is unknown. 
10. CALOrnvLLUM molle, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 80 feet high ; 
tho young shoots, buds, under surfaces of adult leaves, and young fruit 
softly forruginous-tomentose. Leaves coriaceous, narrowly oblong, gradu- 
ally narrowed in tho upper fourth to the sub-obtuse apex, the edges 
thickened and slightly recurved, tho base rounded, or slightly narrowed : 
upper surface when adult sub-glabrous, the nerves close, slightly visible, 
tho midrib Bparsely and coarsoly pubescent ; lower surface pale and, ex- 
cept when very old, more or less softly tomentose especially on the very 
stout midrib: length 5 to 8 in., breadth 1*25 to 225 in., petiole '4 in. to 
•6 in. Eacemes axillary, solitary, about 1 in. long, 1 to2-flowercd, densely 
ferruginous-toraentose as are the ovary and young fruit. Sepals 4, tho 
onter oblong, ferruginous- tomentose externally. Petals 0. Fruit glo- 
bular, slightly apicnlate, 1 in. long, sub-glabrous when ripe. 
Penang ; Curtis, No. 1426. Perak ; King's Collector, many numbers. 
A species collected by Sig. Beccari in Sumatra (P. S. 953) comes 
very near this ; but the leaves are broader and more inclined to be ob- 
lanceolate, the thickening of the edge is greator and is pale in colour, 
while the young fruit is ovoid and not tomentose. Judging from Pierre's 
figure (he gives no description) of his C. Dongnaiense y Fl. Coch. -Chine, 
t. 108, that species and this must be near allies. 
11. Calophyllum canum, Hook. fil. Fl. Br, Tnd. i, 271. A tree 40 
to 80 feet high; young branchlets as thick as a goose-quill, smooth. 
Leaves coriaceous, glabrous, narrowly elliptic-oblong, bluntly and shortly 
acuminate, Blightly undulate, the base acute, upper surface shining, the 
lower less so; midrib very strong, nerves very thin and numerous ; length 
5 to 7 in., breadth T75 to 2'25 in., petiole "5 to *75 in. Flowers -75 in., 
diam., in terminal hoary-pubescont panicles less than half as long as the 
leaves, or in axillary racemes, pedicels "15 in. Sepals hoary- puborulous, 
orbicular; the outer pair coriaceous, concave ; the inuer pair larger and
