118. — Distrib. Bangka, Teysmann Hort. Bogor. No. 3189, atDjeboes. 
Only one very poor specimen of the type (Teysmann’s) is available, but from an 
examination of it and from Miquel’s description it seems to be right to refer the 
Peninsular plant, which we had considered new, to this species. 
4. Embelia Scortechinii, King & Gamble, n. sp. A climbing 
shrub (?) ; branches slender ; ultimate branchlets reddish, rusty-villous. 
Leaves entire, chartaceous ; elliptic-lanceolate, long acuminate at apex, 
narrowed at base ; glabrous above, grey-pubescent on the nerves beneath 
and with minute white scales, glandular dots obscure ; 4 to 5 in. long, 
1-5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib very prominent, impressed above; main-nerves 
about 8 pairs, prominent, slender, curving upwards to and along the 
margin ; reticulations many, prominent on the upper surface ; petiole 
•2 in. long, pubescent. Inflorescence of slender rusty-villous panicles of 
long racemes, the panicles 7 to 10 in. long, racemes 3 to 6 in. ; rachis 
hirsute, somewhat angular ; bracts deciduous, bracteoles very minute, 
subulate ; buds very small, globose. Calyx-lobes ovate, rounded, very 
minute, the edges ciliate with long moniliform hairs, tube very short. 
Corolla-lobes oblong, acute, '05 in. long, shaggy with long moniliform 
hairs. Stamens shorter than the corolla-lobes ; anthers ovate, cordate, 
with two prominent papillose warts behind at the insertion of the dorsi- 
fixed very short filaments. Ovary ovoid, style conical. Berry not known. 
Perak : Scortechini. 
This interesting species is characterised by the abundant moniliform hairs on the 
flowers, longer and more conspicuous than in other species. 
5. Embelia penangiana, Mez Monog. Myrs. 311 (1901). A climbing 
shrub, stem reaching about 1 in. in diam. ; branches stout ; ultimate 
branchlets red, striate, lentieellate. Leaves entire, chartaceous ; elliptic, 
shortly acuminate at apex, narrowly cuneate at base ; glabrous, not gland- 
dotted; 3-5 to 4-5 in. long, 1'5 to 2 in. broad; midrib prominent, impressed 
above ; main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, irregular, slender, at about two-thirds 
of a right angle with the midrib at first then arching upwards to join 
near the margin ; secondary nerves similar but less prominent, reticula- 
tions many ; petiole '5 in. long, slender, edged by the crispate decurrent 
margins of the blade which are often connivent above. Inflorescence a 
terminal 3-pinnate leafy panicle, 6 to 9 in. long, of slender racemes ; 
rachis slightly pubescent, main branches at about half a right angle 
with rachis ; peduncles about 1 in. long, upper branches and branchlets 
usually at right angles ; bracts lanceolate spathulate, leafy, deciduous ;
