12 to 15 on each side of the midrib, slender, distinct, anasto- 
mosing, about equally evident on both surfaces; petioles densely 
villous, 3 mm long. Flowers axillary, solitary, 5-merous, their 
peduncles stout, curved, somewhat villous, about 2.5 cm long. 
Sepals about 1 cm long, 7 mm wide, coriaceous, ovate, acute or 
slightly acuminate, glabrous inside, outside somewhat densely 
appressed-villous with pale, short hairs, the margins minutely 
glandular-denticulate. Petals broadly elliptic to elliptic-ovate, 
rounded, not at all retuse, 1.4 cm long, 1 cm wide, externally 
appressed-villous in the exposed median parts, inside and the 
broad margins externally glabrous. Stamens 35 ; filaments 
glabrous, 4 to 5 mm long; anthers lanceolate, acuminate, 5 mm 
long, very sparingly villous with long stiff hairs on the back. 
Ovary ovoid, densely villous, 4-celled, the ovules indefinite; style 
stout, about 8 mm long, widened below to the ovary, prominently 
villous except near the glabrous apex, cleft into four 1.5 to 2 mm 
long arms, the stigmas capitate.

A species manifestly allied to Adinandra elliptica C. B. Rob., but distin- 
guishable at once by its much larger flowers, as well as by numerous details 
in vegetative and floral characters. 
ADINANDRA NIGRO-PUNCTATA sp. nov. 
Arbor circiter 10 m alta, subglabra; foliis coriaceis, ellipticis 
ad oblongo-obovatis, 4 ad 7 cm longis, nitidis, basi acutis, apice 
late acuminatis vel obtusis, minute retusis, margine minute 
glanduloso-denticulatis, subtus glandulis minutis sparsis nigris 
instructis, nervis utrinque circiter 7 ; sepalis 5, subaequalibus, 
ellipticis, glabris; staminibus circiter 50, densissime hirsutis; 
ovario glabro, 5-loculare. 
A tree about 12 m in height, glabrous except the flowers and 
the growing tips of the branchlets. Branches stout, terete, 
reddish-brown, glabrous, the terminal buds pubescent. Leaves 
coriaceous, elliptic to oblong-obovate, 4 to 7 cm long, 1.5 to 3 
cm wide, the base acute, the apex very broadly and shortly 
blunt-acuminate, sometimes merely obtuse, usually minutely 
retuse, margins very obscurely and minutely glandular-denticu- 
late, in the lower part quite entire, the upper surface somewhat 
olivaceous when dry, strongly shining, usually minutely ver- 
ruculose, the lower surface a little paler, with small, scattered, 
black glands ; lateral nerves about 7 on each side of the 
midrib, slender, not prominent, about equally evident on 
both surfaces ; petioles 5 mm long. Flowers axillary, soli-
