sericeous everywhere, tlie apical us of the connective with a terminal 
tuft; filaments short. Ovary depressed-hemispheric, 3-1-celled, smooth 
as is the cylindric style; stigma email, conical, Fruit 75 in, in diam.,

The Perak specimens agree perfectly with Tcysmann's types 
collected in Sumatra. 
8. Adinandra Miquelii, King. A medium sized tree: young 
branches stout, the bark white and polished. Leaves thickly coriaceous, 
oblanceolate, apex with a short blunt abrupt point, gradually narrowed 
in the lower half to tho petiole, entire; midrib prominent ; nerves 5 to 7 
pairs, ascending, anastomising *2 in. from the margin, invisible in the 
fresh, inconspicuous in the dry state ; length 4 to 6 in , breadth 1*5 to 2 25 
in. ; pet iole 6 to '75 in., stout. Flowrrs about '75 in. in diam., scattered 
bulow the apices of the branches, axillary and extra-axillary, polygamous : 
peduncles spreading, solitary, compressed, pale, '75 to 1 in. long; the 
bracteolos just below the flower, Small; fugaceous. Sepals fleshy, rotund, 
the 2 outer much smaller. Petals larger than the sepals, rotund, clawed, 
fleshy. 8tame7is numerous, chiefly from tho torus, pubescent, the con- 
nective with a long apiculus, filaments short. Ovary depressed-globose, 
2-celled, narrowed above into tho short cylindric style: stigma shortly 
bifid, the lobes narrow acute spreading. Fruit unknown. Ternstnvmia

The stigma shows that this does not belong to the genus Tern- 
stra>mia iuto which Miquel put it. It is evidently a rare plant in 
Penang, as CurtitTa specimen (which agrees perfectly with Miquel's type- 
specimens from Bangka) is the only one which I have seen from that 
island. 
3. Ternstrikmia, Linn, 
Evergreen glabrous trees or shrubs. Leaves more or less coriaceous, 
entire or crenato -serrate. Peduncles axillary, solitary or sub- fasciculate,

Petals 5, imbricate, connate by their bases. Stamens many, mostly ad- 
herent to the base of the corolla, anthers glabrous. Ovary 2 to 3-celled, 
stylo simple or absent. Stigma broadly 2 to 3-lobed or sub- en tire; 
ovules usually 2 in each cell, pendulous. Fruit indehiscont, sub-baccate.
