S. Andaman : Kurz, Man, King's Collector. 
Allied to P. Jenkimii, H. f. and T. ; but with much smaller flowers, 
and leaves with broader bases. 
5. Poltalthia MAGNOLIAS flora, Maing. MSS. Hook fil. Fl. Br. Ind. 
I, 64. A true 30 to 40 feet high ; yonng branches rusty-tomentose. 
Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong to obovate-oblong, obtuse or acuminate, 
the base rounded or minutely cordate; upper Burface glabrous, the 
nerves* and midrib minutely tomentose ; under surface at first pubescent, 
ultimately glabrous or glabrescent : main nerves 15 to 2C) p-tirs, rather 
straight, oblique, promiuent beneath, the transverse veins almost 
straight, distinct j length 8 to 12 in., breadth 2*5 to 3 5 in. ; petiole '25 
in. stout, tomentose. Flowers large, shortly pedunculate, solitary, axil- 
lary, 2'5 to 3 in. long; peduncle '3 in. long, tomentose, with 2 largo 
ovate bracts. Sepals coriaceous, short, broadly ovate, acute, spreading, 
tomentose. Petals coriaceous, white, linear-oblong or oblong- lanceolate, 
sub-acute, tomentose. Torus conical. Ovaries hirsute. Carpels (un- 
ripe) stalked, oblong-ovoid, blunt at either end, the apex rnucronate, 
pubescent. Seed with smooth shining testa. 
Malacca : Maingay. Perak ; King's Collector, No. 10039, 
Evidently a rare species. I have seen only Maingay's imperfect 
specimens from Malacca, and two collected on Ulu Bubong by the late 
Mr. H. H. Kunstler, Collector for the Bot. Garden, Calcutta. Sir J. D. 
Hooker states (F. B. Ind. L c.) on Maingay's authority that the flowers 
have the colour and odour of those of a Magnolia. 
6. Polyalthia macrantha, King n. sp. A tree 20 to 70 feet high ■ 
young branches rather slender, glabrous. Leaves large, thinly coriace- 
ous, oblong to elliptic-oblong, acute, slightly narrowed below the middle 
to the rounded or minutely cordate base ; upper surface shining, 
glabrous except the depressed slightly puberulous midrib ; lower surface 
paler when dry, glabrous, very minutely lepidote ; main nerves 20 to 24 
pairs, spreading, thin but prominent beneath; length 12 to 18 in., 
breadth 4*5 to 7 5 in., petiole 4 in., stout. Flowers solitary, axillary or 
slightly supra-axillary, 2*5 to 45 in. in diam. ; pedicels 15 to 2 in. 
long (longer in fruit) glabrescent, with a sub-orbicular bi acteolo about 
the middle ; the buds conical when youn^. Sepals thick, sub-orbicular, 
spreading, connate by their edges and forming a cup 75 in. in diam., 
puberulous on both surfaces, corrn gated outside. Petals much larger 
than the Bepals, white, thick, fleshy, flattish, oblong-elliptic, widest above 
the middle, blunt, puberulous on both surfaces except at the glabrescent
