young branches and inflorescence pale tawny-pubescent. Leaven ovate 
to elliptic-ovate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the margin cartilaginous, 
sometimes crenate-serrate, the base always entire and rounded ; upper 
surface glabrous, shining : the lower dull, pale but not glaucous, with, 
scattered black dots, glahrescent except the puberulous midrib and 6 or 7 
pairs of rather prominent sub-ascending main nerves ; the reticulations 
distinct, wide; length 225 to 3"75 in., breadth 125 to 175 in.; petiole 
"75 to 1*25 in*, pubescent. Racemes mostly from the wood below the 
leaves (a few axillary) more than half as long as the leaves. Flowers 
'2 in. in diatn., their pedicels 1 in. long or less: buds ovoid, blunt. 
Sepals lanceolate, sub-acute, outside tomentose, inside pubescent and 
tho midrib thickened; the edges not incui'ved. Petals broadly cun- 
eate, glabrous, cut for a third or a fourth of their length into about 
25 narrow fimbriae ; tho base truncate. Torus of 5 distinct, fleshy, 
oblong, truncate, several -grooved, velvety glands. Stamens 20 to 25, 
shorter thau the petals ; filaments less than half as long as the minutely 
scaberulous anthers ; cells sub-equal, the longer sometimes with 2 or 3 
short white hairs. Ovary globose, pointed, grooved, tomentose, 3-celled. 
Style slightly longer than the ovary, conic-cyHndric, pubescent at the 
base, glabrescent above. Fruit ovoid-globular, glabrous, slightly 
rugose, 1 to 125 in. long when ripe, and '8 to '9 in. in diam. : pulp 
rather thin: stone bluntly rugose: putamen very hard, thick: 1 cell 
with a solitary seed, the other 2 cells abortive.

This resembles E. parvifolius t Wall, in some respects; but its 
leaves have more rounded bases, their nerves are rather more numerous 
and tho petioles longer; the flower buds are blunt and not pointed as in 
that species, and they are tomentose rather than pubescent; also 
the stamens are more numerous and the ovary is 3 celled. This is found 
moreover at much higher elevations than E. parvifolins winch is found at 
elevations under 1000 feet. 
6. Elxocaupus bamcifolitjs, n. sp., King. A tree 30 feet high : 
yonng branches puberulous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly lanceo- 
late, slightly oblique : acuminate, scrrulate-crenulate except at the entiro 
cuneate base; upper surface glabrous, shining, olivaceous when dry, 
the midrib puberulous ; lower dull brown when dry, glabrescent, the 
midrib puberulous: main nerves about 8 pairs, rather straight, snb- 
ascending, slender ; length 3 to 3'5 in., breadth '7 to 9 in. : petiole 
about 5 in., puberulous. Racemes from the lower axils and from the 
axils of fallen leaves, nearly as long as the leaves; the slender rachiaea,
