Kurz's species M. trintis, (F. Flora Burma, I, 47) appears to be a 
form of this with larger leaves and flowers than usual. The only speci- 
mens of it extant are very poor and better material may shew it to be, 
as Kurz thought, a distinct species. According to M. Pierre, his Cam- 
bodian species M. mollis (Fl. Forest. Coch.-Chine, t. 40) is cloBely allied 
to M. Roxburghiana. The same author's species Af campanulata (1. c. t. 
41) is also allied to M. Roxburghiana and to M. macrocarpa. 
2, Miliusa loxgipks, King, n. sp. A small tree 15 to 30 feet high : 
young branches dark-coloured; all parts glabrous except the edges of 
the sepals and outer petals. Leaves membrauous, shining, oblong-ob- 
lanceolate, acuminate, the base sub-cuneate or rounded ; main nerves 
about 12 pairs, spreading, f aiut : length 5 5 to 7 in., breadth 1*75 to 
275 in., petiole '1 to *1S in. Flowers '5 to 65 in. long, axillary, solitary ; 
pedicels slender, *5 to *75 in. long, {larger in fruit) with 3 or 4 lanceolate 
bracteoles at the base. Sepals and outer petals sab-equal, minute, ovate, 
sub-acute, the edges ciliate. Inner petals very much larger than the 
outer, ovate-oblong, veined, sub-acute, greenish-yellow, 5 or *6 in. long. 
Stamens about 18, compressed, short, often bent, the apiculus broad, 
shallow. Ovaries numerous, elongate, glabrous ; stigma large, capitate, 
sessile. Ripe carpels numerous, globular-ovoid, blunt, glabrous, sub- 
granular, '25 to "3 in. long ; stalks '75 to I in., slender. Seeds ovoid. 
Perak : at low elevations, Scortechini, King's Collector. 
This species approaches M. maeropada, Miq : but its leaves are more 
narrowed to tho base and niorc acuminate. 
23. Alpuonsea, H. f. & T. 
Lofty trees. Leaves more or less coriaceous, glabrous, shining. 
Flowers small or middle-sized, in leaf-opposed, rarely extra-axillary, 
peduncled fascicles ; buds conical. Sepals '3, small, valvate. Petals 6, 
valvate in 2 series, often saccate at the base, larger than the sepals, 
equal or the inner rather smaller. Tonts cyliudric or hemispheric. 
Stamens indefinite, loosely packed; anther-cells dorsal, contiguous; 
connective apieulate. Ovaries 1 or more ; style oblong or depressed ; 
ovules 4r-8, in 2 series on the ventral suture. Carpels sub-sessile or 
stalked.— Distrib. Species 9, all Indian or Malayan. — Baillon Hist. 215 
unites this genus with Bocagea.
