branches, axillary and terminal, stellate-pubescent, slender, spreading, 
many-branched. Flowers very numerous, 1 in. long, the pedicels 
slender and rather longer. Calyx when expanded rotate, cut half way 
clown into triangular very acute or acuminate spreading teeth, densely 
stellate-tomontose outside. Petals broadly oblanceolate, obtuse, narrow- 
ed to the base. Stamens 5-delphous. Staminodes apparently absent. 
Ovary globose, densely tomentose, not visibly ridged, 5-celled. Style 
filiform, tapering, straight, glabrous. Fruit unknown.

A species distinguished by its slender hoary panicles, with flowers 
by far more numerous than in any of the other species described here. 
7. Pentace Cuetisii, n. sp. King. A large tree: the young branches 
slender, with dark-coloured bark, very minutely adpressed-lepidote, not 
hairy. Leaves ovate elliptic, with a short abrupt blunt acumen, the 
base rounded: upper surface glabrous, the lower cinereous; basal 
nerves 2 pairs, one pair slender and close to the margin, the other 
branching on one side : lateral nerves 2 or 3 pairs ; all ascending and 
rather prominent beneath : length 3"25 to 5'5 in., breadth 2*25 to 2' 75 
in. ; petiole '75 to 1 in. slender, slightly thickened at apex. Panicles 
mostly terminal (a few smaller axillary) 4 - 5 to 6 in. long with sparse 
cinereous stellate tomentum and scales, few- branched, and few-flowered. 
Flowers '15 in. long, on pedicels shorter than themselves. Calyx widely 
campanulate, slellate-tomentose outside; its teeth as long as the tube, 
broadly triangular, rather blunt. Petals oblanceolate or obovate -obtuse, 
much narrowed to the base. Staminodes lanceolate, acuminate, half as 
long aB the filamentB. Stamens in 5 bundles. Ovary turbinate, with 
8 or 9 blnnt ridges, lepidote-pubescont : style rather stout, cylindrio, 
shorter than the stamens. Fruit 5 in. long, with 8 semi-elliptio mem- 
branous winga "2 iu. broad.

8. Pentace EXIMLA, n. sp., King, A tree 50 to 70 feet high: 
young branches slender, dark-coloured, glabrous. Leaves ovate-elliptic 
to ovate-rotund, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base slightly 
narrowed or rounded : upper surface glabrous, shining j lower paler aud 
dull; basal nerves 1 pair, hold and reaching to the apex, often with a 
slender small sub-marginal pair: lateral nerves usually only one pair, 
short and curving; all rather bold beneath : length 4 to 5 5 in,, breadth 
2 to 4 in. ; petiole '75 to 11 in., thickened at the apex. Panicles terminal, 
3 5 to 5 in, Jong, (longer in fruit), minutely scurfy- tomcntose, with
