Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
rather thinner than a goose-quill, sub-terete, glabrous, rather pale 
brown when dry. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic or broadly elliptic-lan- 
ceolate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, much narrowed to the base; 
upper surfaces glabrous, brown, shining when dry, the lower dull and 
sparsely pubescent, often tinged reddish, the edges slightly recurved ; 
main-nerves 12 to 18 pairs, ascending, little curved, bold on the lower 
surface and faint on the upper ; length 5 to 10 in. ; breadth 2'5 to 
4 - 5 in. ; petioles - 4 to l - 5 in. Stipules broadly ovate, blunt, about 
•35 in. long. Cyme terminal, on an angled, sub-compressed peduncle 
■5 to 1 in. long (lengthening in fruit), the branches corymbose, whorled, 
many-flowered ; ultimate eymules 3-flowered. Floivers • 5 in. long, 
2 on each cymule, on short pedicels (the middle one sessile), minutely 
foracteolate at the base. Calyx under -1 in. long, tubular, the truncate 
mouth minutely 5-toothed. Corolla tubular, -4 in. long, with 5 oblong 
sub-acute lobes ; the throat villous inside. Fruit - 4 in. long and -3 in. 
in diam., elliptic-ovoid, vertically 10-ridged, the apex with very slight 
remains of the calyx. Seeds faintly 4-ridged on the dorsal, the 
ventral surface plane with a faint central groove. DC. Prod. IV. 520.

27. Psychotria Wrayi, n. sp., King & Gamble. A small shrub, 
glabrous except the inflorescence ; young branches as thick as a swan’s- 
quill, terete, dark-coloured when dry. Leaves coriaceous, oblanceolate- 
elliptic, shortly acuminate, gradually narrowed from about the middle 
to the short, partially winged petiole ; both surfaces dark olivaceous- 
brown when dry, the midrib rather prominent ; main-nerves 13 to 15 
pairs, oblique, almost straight, thin but pale and rather distinct on the 
lower surface, indistinct on the upper ; length 6 or 7 in. ; breadth 2 to 
2-5 in. ; petiole about -5 in., winged above. Stipules broadly ovate, 
sub-acute, the edges coarsely ciliate, - 5 in. long. Cymes terminal, on 
short peduncles, bracteate at the base, umbelliform, widely spreading, 
about 4 in. broad and only half as long ; the branches 4-angled, sub- 
compressed, pubescent, divergent. Floivers crowded at the extremities 
of the branclilets, - 25 in. long, on short thick pedicels. Calyx deeply
