spreading, rather prominent on both surfaces as is the midrib : length 
4 to 6*5 in., breadth 1 to 175 in. ; petiole 1 to 175 in., smooth, slender, 
thickened at the apex. Racemes solitary, axillary, ranch shorter than 
the leaves, few-dowered, glabrous; flower-pedicels shorter than the 
flowers, capillary. Flower-buds oblong. Calyx less than '5 in. long, 
glabrescent externally, puberulous internally especially on the lobes ; 
tube wide, cylindric, with 5 linear-lanceolate lobes about as long as itself, 
spreading, incurving and joined for some time by their tips. Male 
floicer; staminal column shorter than the tube and bearing at its apex 
about 12 small oblong anthers with thick connective and diverging cells. 
Uerm. flower : gynophore very short, glabrous ; ovaries 5, broadly ovate, 
rusty-pubescent ; styles united, recurved, with many white spreading 
hairs: stigmas clavate, flattened, recurved, spreading. Follicles 3 to 5, 
broadly oblong, witb a straight beak, 1 to T25 in long, *6 in. broad.

Closely allied to S. laevis, Wall. : but with smaller flowers and 
follicles, and with calyx lobes coherent at their tips. 
7. S. Kunstleri, King, n. sp. A tree 30 to 60 feet high ; all 
parts (except the inflorescence and the tips of the young branches) 
glabrous ; branches with pale smooth striate bark. Leaves thinly coriace- 
ous, broadly ovate (or slightly obovate) to oblong or narrowly elliptic, the 
apex rounded, blunt, sub-acute or very shortly and sub-abruptly acumin- 
ate ; slightly narrowed to the rounded or sub-truncate, rarely acute, 3 to 
5-nerved, base; both surfaces shining; lateral nerves about 7 to 9 pairs, 
spreading, slightly prominent beneath : length 4 to 9 in., breadth 2 to 
45 in. ; petiole "75 to 2 75 in., slender, glabrous. Panicles solitary, 
narrow, in the axils of (and shorter than) the mature leaves, or supra- 
axillary, slender ; the lateral brauchos short, 1-to 3-flovvorod, flocculcnt- 
tomentose, rusty; bract coles lanceolate to ovate, caducous. Calyx '3 to 
"35 in. long, the tube urceolate, densely stellate-tomentose outside, sub- 
glabreacent inside; lobes 5, shorter than the tube, linear-lanceolate, 
villous on the inner surface, tomentose on the outer, spreading, conni- 
vent and slightly coherent by their tips. Male flower : staminal 
column slender, shorter than the calyx-tube, curved, bearing at its 
apex 5 to 7 sessile broad anthers. Hermaph. flower : gynophore short ; 
ovaries 3, ovoid, villous, with a ring of adpressed sessile oblong anthers 
at their base : styles distinct, short, thin, sparsely villous ; stigmas 
thick, fleshy, clavate, bent (outwards) on themselves. Follicles 2 or 3,
