7. Orophea gracilis, King, n. sp. A tree 20 to 30 feet high ; 
young branches slender, at first minutely tomentose, afterwards darkly 
cinereous and glabrous. Leaves thinly coriaceous when adult, lanceolate, 
much acuminate, tho base cuneate or slightly rounded, both surfaces 
glabrous : main nerves 5 or 6 pairs, spreading, intci'-arching far from 
the edge, very indistinct ; length 2*6 to 3*5 in., breadth *9 to 12 
in , petiole '05 in. Flowers solitary, *25 in. in diam., extra-axillary ; 
pedicels '75 to 1 in. long, very thin, glabrous, jointed, and with several 
minute, subulate bracteoles above the middle. Sepals broadly ovate, 
sub-acute, connate at the base, spreading or reflex od. Outer petals larger 
than the sepals, ovate, acute, "15 in. long; both surfaces glabrous, the edges 
alone minutely pubescent. Inner petal* '2o in. long, slightly vaulted ; 
the limb thick, trapezoid, with pubescent edges j the claw narrow, not 
60 long as the limb, glabrous. Stamens G, in a single row, the connec-

4 to 10, ovoid, glabrous, 2-ovuled ; stigma large, sessile. Ripe carpels 
6 to 10, globular, glabrous, '45 in. in diam., their stalks '25 in. long. 
Seeds solitary or two together, depressed-globose, with a transverse 
groove and ridge, shining, pale.

This is closely allied to the W. Peninsular 0, iihiflera, but that 
species has twice as many stamens. 
8. Orophea iiastata, King, n. sp. A tree 20 to 40 feet high : all 
parts glabrous except the inflorescence : young branches rather slender, 
dark-coloured. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, 
shortly caudate-acuminate ; the base cuneate, rarely rounded ; both 
surfaces shining, tho lower pale : main nerves 6 to 8 pairs, spreading,
