After carefnl dissection of tho flowers of the types of the two species 
S. parviflora, Roxb, and S. Maimjayi, Masters, and of (lowers of many 
other specimens, I can come to no other conclusion than that they are one 
and tho same. There is a curious tendency to inequality in size in the 
leaves, some being twice as largo as others rising from the same twig 
within the distance of an inch. And the paniclus usually follow I lie 
leaves in the matter of length. 
9. S. ScoRTECHiNli, King, n. sp. A tall tree ; young branches 
rather thick, their bark pale, rough, the youngest parts decidnously rusty- 
pubescent. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong, slightly obovate, the a pox 
rounded, with an abrupt short blunt point, entire ; tho base slightly 
narrowed, rounded or minutely cordate, 3-nerved ; upper surface glabrous, 
shining; the lower slightly paler, dull, thickly dotted with minute 
reddish flat shining glands, the midrib and 4 to 5 pairs of prominent 
ascending lateral nerves stellate-pubescent : length 2 5 to 3"5 in., 
breadth 1"25 to 1*65 in. ; petiole '6b to 1 in., decidnously pulverulent- 
tomentose. Panicles racemes-like, axillary, solitary, shorter than the 
leaves, densely pulverulent-tomontose, rusty ; pedicels as long as the 
buds : bracteoles ovate, *25 in. long, imbricate, caducous. Calyx cam- 
panulate, divided almost to its base into 5 broadly ovate spreading not 
connivent lobes, pubeseent-tomentose both internally and externally 
Male flower : stamina! column shorter than the calyx, crowned by about 
10 short anthers with thick sub-cuneate connective and short divergent 
cells, Herm, flower: Ovary 3-celled, obliquely ovoid, pubescent-scaly; 
ovules 3 or 4 in. each cell. Styles connate, pubescent. Stigmas % 
large, ovoid, spreading, glabrous, dark-coloured. Follicles not seen.

Collected only once, and without fruit. 
10. S. btcolor, Mast, in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. i. 359. A tree 
40 to 60 feet high : young branches rather thin, cinereous, striate, 
glabrous, rufons-pubeseent at the very tips. Leaves small, membranous, 
obovate-oblong, acute or shortly mucronate, entire, slightly narrowed 
to the minutely 2 to 3-nerved rounded base; npper surface glabrous
