Although feni ale flowers and fruit of this have not yet been found, I 
describe it as a new species of Stetechocarptis without any hesitation. 
Its male flowers have exactly the facies of those of S. Burahol^ Bl. ; but 
they arc larger. They, however, differ as to shape of petals ; the leaves 
of this species are distinctly pellucid-punctate (while those of S. Burahol 
are not) and they are broader and have slightly more nerves than those of 
S. Burahol. When boiled, the flowers of the two have exactly the same 
peculiar sweetish smell. 
2. STGLEcnocARPtrs nitidus, King, n. sp. A tree 30 to 60 feet 
high ; all parts glabrous except the inflorescence .* young branches 
darkly cinereous, slender. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, shortly 
acuminate, the base acute ; both surfaces shining, very minntely scaly, 
the midrib and nerves deeply impressed on the upper, bold and promi- 
nent on the lower; the reticulations distinct on both : main nerves 10 
to 12 pairs, curved, sub-ascending, inter- arching within the edge : length 
of blade 6 to 9 in., breadth 1'8 to 3*25 in., petiole '35 in. Male /lowers 
in many-flowered fascicles from tubercles on the trunk, pedicellate; 
buds turbinate; flowers when open probably nearly 1 in, in diam. : 
pedicels stout, thickened upwards, i to 1*5 in, long, scurfy-puberulons, 
each with several sub-rotund glabrous bracteoles mostly near its base. 
Sepals very coriaceous, shortly oblong, obtuse, concave, spreading, con- 
joined at the base, puberulous or glabrescent, warted externally. Outer 
3 petals much larger than the sepals and somewhat larger than the inner 
3 petals, rotund, concave, very coriaceous, glabrous, with scurfy warts 
externally near the middle : inner 3 petals coriaceous, rotund, blunt, 
cucullate, glabrous. Female Jlotvers like the males, stamens none : 
Ovaries very numerous, obscurely 3-angled, adpressed-sericeons. Tortis 
hemispheric. Ripe carpek' broadly ovoid, blunt, 2 5 in. long, T75 in. in 
diam., puberulous, minutely warted; pericarp thick, fleshy. Seeds 
about 8 in 2 rows, flattened, 1*25 in. long, and '5 in. thick.

and 8224. 
This species has the flowers of both sexes alike. The carpels of 
this species are much larger than those of S. Burahol, Bl. ; and its leaves 
are more thickly coriaceous and shining, the nerves and midrib being 
much more depressed on the upper and prominent on the lower surface. 
3. Stelectiocarpds Burahol, H. f. and T. PI. Ind. 94. A tree 
20 to 60 feet high : young branches slender, dark-coloured, glabrous. 
Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, acute or very shortly acu- 
minate, the base cuneate : both surfaces glabrous, shining, the reti- 
culations minute and distinct, the lower with minute black dots,
