Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
cuneate ; both surfaces yellowish-brown when dry and rather dull, the 
lower reticulate ; the edges slightly recurved or not ; main-nerves 4 or 
5 pairs, ascending, slightly curved, faint on both surfaces ; length 1 to 
2'5 in. ; breadth -5 to -8 in. ; petioles '1 in. long. Racemes axillary and 
terminal, twice as long as the leaves, their rachises puberulous, angled 
when dry. Floivers -2 in. long ; their pedicels slender, decurved, -1 to 
•2 in. long, puberulous, minutely bracteolate at the base. Calyx 
puberulous, cupular, -15 in. across, deeply divided into 5 triangular 
sub-acute spreading lobes. Corolla ovoid or ovoid-globulose, with trun- 
cate, wide, entire, wavy or obscurely toothed mouth, puberulous outside. 
Stamens 10, shorter than the corolla and inserted at its base ; anthers 
short, broad, with 2 short, trumpet-shaped, curved apical processes, 
opening by wide pores, and, at the base of these processes behind, 
2 curved, slender filamentous spurs ; the filaments longer than the 
anthers, flattened, tapering from the base upwards, pubescent. Ovary 
depressed, bearing a slightly convex 10-grooved disk and many hairs. 
Fruit '2 to -25 in. in diam., depressed-globular, crowned by the indexed 
calyx-lobes, minutely pubescent, 5-celled ; seeds numerous, triangular, 
reticulate, shining. Clarke in Hook. f. FI. Br. Ind. III. 454. V. ex-

7. Vaccinium Kunstleei, n. sp., King & Gamble. Epiphytic ; 
everywhere glabrous ; young branches one-third of the thickness of a 
goose-quill, dark and striate when dry. Leaves coriaceous, lanceolate 
or narrowly elliptic, the apex acuminate, the base much narrowed, the 
edges slightly recurved ; both surfaces brown when dry, the upper 
tinged with olivaceous and reticulate ; main-nerves 3 pairs, ascending, 
little curved, slightly prominent on the upper surface only ; length 2 to 
2'5 in.; breadth -5 to -65 in.; petioles -1 to -15 in. long. Racemes about 
as long as the leaves, axillary, minutely bracteolate at the base of the 
flowers. Floivers -2 in. long, their puberulous pedicels slender, -1 to 
•15 in. long. Calyx cupular-campanulate, about -05 in. long, the limb 
spreading, wavy, with indistinct broad lobes. Corolla tubular-ovoid, 
•15 to -2 in. long, the mouth with 5 broad, blunt, short recurved lobes. 
Stamens 10, slightly shorter than the corolla or as long ; anthers small, 
oblong, each with 2 short, diverging, apical truncate processes, but with 
none at the base ; filaments three times as long as the anthers, taper- 
ing, flattened and hairy below, cylindric above. Ovary 5-celled, with 
several ovules in each cell, depressed; disk slightly convex with radiating
