24. Polyalteia oblonoa, King, n. sp. A shrub or small tree 30 
to 15 feet high : young branches at first rufous-tomentose, afterwards 
glabrous, pale and furrowed. Leaves thinly coriaceous, sub-sessile, oblong 
or oblong-oblanceolate, abruptly and shortly acuminate, narrowed to 
the minutely cordate, unequal base; upper surface glabrous, except the 
pubescent midrib; lower puberulous, the midrib prominent as are the 14 
to 20 pairs of little curving, aub-ascending, main nerves ; reticulations 
open and distinct ; length 9 to 14 in , breadth 3'5 to 5 in. ; petiole '15 
in., tomeutose. Flowers 125 to 1'75 in. in diam., solitary, axillary or 
extra-axillary, from small tubercles : pedicels 1"25 to 2'5 in. long, pu- 
berulous and with 2 lanceolate bracteoles near the base. Sepals semi- 
orbicnlar, acnte, very short, united into a cup, pubescent outside. 
Petals coriaceous, yellow, subequal, oblong, tapering to the sub-acuto 
apex, minutely adpressed-pubeseent on both surfaces but especially on 
the onter, length *75 to 115 in. Ripe carpels 10 to 20, ovoid to orbicular, 
apieulate, "3 to "35 in. long, pubescent or sub-glabrous ; stalks slender, "6 
to "75 in. long. Seeds usually solitary and ovoid, or sometimes two and 
plano-convex. 
Perak : very common at elevations of from 1,000 to 2,500 feet. 
This plant closely resembles Onatteria (= Polyalthia) elliptica 
Blame : but its leaves have more numerous nerves and its carpels are 
stalked, those of P elliptica (according both to Blume's description and 
figure) being sessile and of larger size. 
25. Polyalthia Bkccakii, King n. sp. A tree 15 to 40 feet high : 
young branches slender, rufous-tomeutose ; the older coarsely striate 
and lenticellal e. Leaves thickly membranous, narrowly oblong or oblong- 
lanceolate, acuminate, slightly narrowed to the rounded base ; both 
surfaces shining and reticulate, tho midrib pubescent on the upper 
tomentose on the lower ; main nerves 6 or 7 pail's, slender, spreading, 
forming bold arches far fi-om the edge, the secondary nerves distinct ; 
length 3 to 4'5 in., breadth '75 to 135 in. ; petiole '1 iu., tomentose. 
Flowers 1 in. long, in fascicles from bracteolate tubercles on the older
