This is allied to K. nervosa, T. Anders. ; bat it is readily distinguished 
from that by its smooth branch lets; by the leaves much and gradually 
narrowed to both base and apex, and by the oblong-acuminate petals. A 
shrubby form of this occurs in Penang (Curtis, Nos. 805, 1418,) and in 
Perak (King's Collector, No. 1345) in which all the parts are smaller 
and the leaves are less acuminate at the apex, and rounded instead of 
much attenuated at the base. 
5. Kayea nervosa, T. Anders, in Hook, fib Fl., Br. Ind. i, 277. A 
glabrous tree ; the brancblets minutely tuborcled, 4-angled. Leaves suh- 
soHsile, membranous, elliptie-ohlong, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the 
base rounded or emarginate ; both surfaces (when dry) dull coppery brown, 
the lower paler; uerves 16 to 20, unequal, rather prominent beneath ; 
length 3 to 5 in., breadth 1*25 in. to 8 in. ; petiole "15 in. long, rugose 
as is the base of the midrib. Flowers axillary, usually solitary (some- 
times 2 or 3 from an axil), or terminal, L 75 in. in diam. ; pedicels *75 in. 
or less, tuborcled, each with several linear lanceolate bracts at its base. 
SepaUt unequal, the outer very coriaceous, sub-orbicular ; the inner nearly 
twice as largo but thinner. Petals ohovnto; filaments about as long as 
the slender pistil. Ripe fruit sub-globular, beaked, leathery, *75 in. in 
diam. or more, the calyx marcescent. Kurz Flora Burm. i, 96 ; Mesua

6. Kayea caudaja, King, n. sp. A slender glabrous tree, 20 to 30 
feet high, with drooping habit ; the branch lets slender, pale brown, striate. 
Leaves membranous, obovatc-elliptic, caudate-acuminate, mucronnlate, 
edges undulate, slightly narrowed to the rounded base ; both surfaces dull, 
the lower pale; nerves 12 to 14 pairs, prominent, sub-horizontal ; length 
3 to 8*5 in. of which tho acumen froms *7 in. ; breadth 1 to 1*15 in,, petiole 
•lii in. Flotvers unknown. Fruit solitary, terminal, shortly pedicellate, 
narrowly ovoid-cy lindric, tapering very much to the apex and often 
curved, less narrowed to the base, 2 to 2*5 in. long, and 1 to 125 in. 
in diam. at the middle ; bracts at base of pedicel subulate, 1-nerved. 
Sepals persistent, tho outer pair orbicular, tho inner oblong : pedicel 
about "2 in. long, rather shorter than the subulate bracts.

7. Katba elegans, King, n. sp. A glabrous tree 40 to 60 feet high,
