nitidis, 18 ad 25 cm longis, 5 ad 9 cm latis, apice late acuminatis, basi 
cuneatis vel rotnndatis, concoloribus vel subtus brunneis; nervis utrinque 
8 ad 10, prominentibus, obscure anastomosantibus, reticulis validis, densis ; 
paniculis axillaribus terminalibusque, foliis subaequalibus, pubescentibus; 
floribus numerosis, pedicellatis, 4 mm longis; fructibus ellipsoideis vel 
obovoideis, parce pubescentibus, longitudinaliter striatis, circiter 12 mm 
longis. 
A tall tree, glabrous throughout except the infloresence. Branches 
terete, lenticellate, brownish. Leaves alternate, oblong, 18 to 25 cm 
long, 5 to 9 cm wide, coriaceous, shining, the apex rather broadly 
acuminate, the base acute or rounded, about the same color on both 
surfaces; nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, rather prominent, 
curved-ascending, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations beneath dense, 
distinct ; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary and terminal, 
about as long as the leaves, many flowered, the rachis and branches 
somewhat pubescent. Flowers white, 4 mm long, pedicellate, the pedicels 
pubescent, 1 to 2 mm long, with three small bracteoles at the apex. 
Calyx-tube cylindric, sulcate, pubescent, 1.5 to 2 mm long, the perianth- 
lobes 6, subequal, pubescent, oblong-obovate, acute or obtuse, 2 mm long. 
Fertile stamens 9 ; anthers all 2-celled, those of the two outer series 
introrse, those of the inner series extrorse, the filaments short; staminodes 
acuminate, about 1 mm long. Style 1 mm long. Fruit ellipsoid or

Cryptocarya glauca sp. nov. 
Arbor; foliis alternis, coriaeeis, oblongo-ovatis vel elliptico-lanceolatis, 
usque ad 13 cm longis, 5 cm latis, supra brunneis, glabris, nitidis, subtus 
plus minus pubescentibus, glaucis ; nervis subtus prominentibus, brunneis, 
circiter 8 utrinque ; paniculis axillaribus terminalibusque, ferrugineo- 
pubescentibus, foliis aequalibus vel longioribus vel interdum brevioribus. 
A tree, more or less pubescent. Branches terete, reddish-brown 
glabrous, lenticellate, the branchlets ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves 
alternate, coriaceous, oblong-ovate or elliptic-lanceolate, the apex shortly 
and obtusely acuminate, the base acute, 7 to 13 cm long, 2 to 5 cm wide, 
the upper surface dark- or pale-brown, glabrous, shining, the lower surface 
glaucous, somewhat ferruginous-pubescent, ultimately glabrous or nearly 
so ; nerves prominent on the lower surface, brown, about 8 on each side 
of the midrib, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations not very distinct, 
rather lax; petioles pubescent, 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary and
