fi. PopnwiA pkhakkxsts, King, n. sp. A shrub 6 to 15 feet high ; 
young branches densely and minutely dull rusty- tomcntose, the older 
dark and furrowed. Leaves elliptic to oblong-elliptic, very shortly and 
rather abruptly acuminate, the base slightly narrowed, sometimes sub- 
oblique ; upper surface glabrous, the midrib and nerves tomentose; lower 
pubescent, sab-granular: main nerves 8 to 10 pairs, spreading, slightly 
prominent beneath j length 4 to 5'5 in., breadth 2 to 2*5 in. ; petiole '1 
in,, tomentose. Flowers extra-axillary, usually in pairs (but not con- 
temporaneous) *3 in. in diam. ; pedicels '4 in. long, ferrugiueous-toTneri- 
tose, minutely bracteolato. Sepals smaller than the petals, semi-orbicu- 
lar, acute, coarsely tomentose outside, sub-glabrous inside. Petals thick, 
ovoid-orbicnlar, Bub-acute, sub-concave, densely whitish-sericeous outside, 
glabrous within ; the inner row slightly larger than the outer, neither 
their edges nor apices incurved. Stamens numerous, flattened, with 
truncate, corrugated heads. Ovaries about 10, thin, glabrous, except a 
few long hairs near the base, 2-ovuled: stigmas large, rounded. Ripe 
carpels few, ovoid, with sub-truncate apices, slightly narrowed to the 
stalks, glabrous or sparsely pubescent, with several horizontal constrictions 
when ripe '5 in. long and '25 in. in diam. ; stalks 25 to '5 in. long. 
Seeds 2, superposed, plano-convex. 
This resembles P. ramosissima in its leaves but has much larger 
flowers of which the inner petals are not inflexed and the carpels have 
2 seeds.

7. Popowia fusca, King, n. sp. A tree 40 to 50 feet high ; young

and 8 to 11 pairs of spreading, rather prominent main nerves tomentose 
on both j length 2 5 to 3*5 in., breadth 14 to 1*8 in. ; petiole *2 in. pur- 
plish-tomentose like the flower pedicels. Flawers in small extra-axillary 
fascicles from small bracteate tubercles, 25 in. in diam.; pedicels "15 to 
'25 in. Sepals ovate-obtuse, tomentose outside, glabrous inside. Petals 
sub-equal, rotund, very thick and fleshy, tomcntose outside, pubernlous

This much resembles P. velutina, King, but its leaves are more 
oval, have more nerves, and are not so pubescent,
