3. Myksine perakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree ; branchlets 
thick, smooth, wrinkled when dry, terminal leaf-buds lanceolate. Leaves 
entire, coriaceous ; oblong, bluntly acute at apex, narrowed at the base, 
glabrous, shining above, margins recurved, glandular dots many, in- 
conspicuous ; 4 to 5 in. long, 1'5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib thick, very 
prominent ; main-nerves 20 to 26 pairs, prominent above, at about two- 
thirds of a right angle with the midrib, parallel at first, arching afterwards 
to meet near the margin ; secondary nerves similar but more slender, 
reticulations prominent; petiole '3 in. long, very thick, winged by the de- 
current margins of the blade. Flowers in compact sessile umbels on the 
summit of a thick, cone-like, bracteate, arrested branch about 1 in. long, 
in the axils of the leaves or below them on the current year’s wood, 
so forming a thick cluster below the terminal leaves : umbels 5-8- 
fiowered, pedicels "15 to '2 in. long, thick and angular when dry , bracts 
ovate, scaly, sometimes ciliate. Calyx-lobes ovate acute, glandular- 
ciliate, about '05 in. long, cilice jointed. Corolla and Stamens unknown. 
Rerry globose, sometimes conical at top, '1 to '15 in. in diam., pericarp

1'75 in. broad, glabrous; midrib slender; main-nerves very obscure, about 
12 pairs, meeting in an intramarginal nerve near the edge, reticulations 
many, somewhat raised beneath when dry ; petiole '5 to '7 in. long, 
bordered above by the decurrent margins of the blade, wrinkled at the 
base. Flowers in peduncled axillary few-rayed umbels ; bracteoles 
minute, triangular ; peduncles '3 to '5 in. long ; rays of umbel 3 to 4, 
pedicels about '35 in. long, clavately thickened above. Calyx-lobes 
triangular-ovate, glandular-ciliate, acute, "05 in. long. Corolla and 
Stamens unknown. Fruit round, '2 in. in diam., crowned by the 
persistent base of the style ; pericarp rugosely striate.
