minute pale brown hair. Leaves thinly coriaceous, broadly elliptic to 
elliptic-rotund, slightly narrowed to the obtuse apex, very little narrow- 
ed to the more or less cordate base : upper sarface glabrous, very sparse- 
ly lepidote, the lower covered with a thin layer of very minute pale 
hair ; basal nerves 4 or 6 (two of them small) : main lateral nerves 3 
pairs ; transverse secondary nerves distinct : length 5 to 7 in,, breadth 
35 to 4'5 in. ; petiole 2 5 to 3 in. t thickened towards the apex, pubescent 
like the uuder surfaces of the leaves. Pawlcta* mostly terminal, rarely 
axillary, 9 to 15 in. long (the axillary ones much smaller) the branches 
rather few, spreading little, the flowers rather closely clustered on the 
branch lets. Flowers *25 in. long, on pedicels about half as long. 
Calyx widely campanulate, cut for a third of its length into 5 acute 
triangular teeth, minutely tomentose externally, glabrous inside. 
Petals longer than the calyx, oblong, very obtuse, slightly narrowed 
but thickened towards the rather long basul claw. Staminodes linear, 
flat, about as long as the filaments. Ovaries 3 to 5, sub-globose, lateral- 
ly compressed, pubescent. Styles subulate, a little longer than the 
Rtamens, slightly coherent. Fruit unknown. 
On Gunong Bubu in Perak, at elevations of 600 to 1000 feet ; 
King's Collector. 
A Bpecies with leaves not unlike these of Kleinhovia hospita: in 
many respects closely allied to B. elata t but with muck smaller flowers. 
3. Browklowia ScoiiTEcniNii, n. sp., King. A small slender tree : 
young branches stout, pale, sparsely lenticellate, pnbescent at first but 
soon glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, ovate-elliptic, peltate, slightly nar- 
rowed to the acute or sub- acute apex ; the edges sub-undulate ; very 
little narrowed to the rounded, or sometimes sub-emarginate, base ; 
upper surface glabrous ; the lower pale from a thin continuous layer of 
very minute hairs ; petiole attached 2 5 to 3 in. above the base, nerves 
radiating from it about 9, lateral nerves from the midrib about 4 pairs; 
all rather prominent beneath, as are the transverse secondary nerves : 
length 10 to 15 in., breadth 5*5 to 7 in., petiole 7 to 9 in. long, thickened 
at both ends. Panicle terminal, 6 to 12 in. long and about 6 in. broad, 
or sometimes small narrow panicles in terminal clusters of 6 to 10 : 
blanches spreading, compressed, puberulous ; bracteoles ovate, fugaceons ; 
pedicels, stout, 15 in. long in the bud but lengthening as the flower ex- 
pands, pubernlous. Flowers *6 in. long, crowded. Calyx narrowly cam- 
panulate ; its teeth half as long as the tube, lanceolate, sub-acute, tomen- 
tose-lejiidote externally. Petals longer than the calyx, narrowly ob- 
ovate, much narrowed to the clawed base. Stamino<Ie.< linear, abont as 
long as the filaments. Ovaries 5. ovoid, compressed, stellate-pubescent.
