8. Embelia angulosa, King & Gamble, n. sp. A climbing shrub ; 
branches thick, branchlets wrinkled when dry, lenticels few. Leaves 
entire, coriaceous ; ovate, obtuse, emarginate, glabrous, shining above, 
dull beneath, glandular dots pitted on both surfaces ; 2 to 3 5 in. long, 
1 to 2 in. broad ; midrib very thick and prominent, impressed above ; 
main-nerves 14 to 16 pairs, slender, irregular, leaving the midrib at 
nearly a right angle, then curved and joining near the margin, raised 
on upper surface; secondary nerves many, slender, reticulations obscure , 
petiole - 2 in. long, channelled above and bordered by the crispate edges 
of the decurrent blade. Inflorescence a dense terminal glabrous still 
panicle about 4 in. long and broad, of racemes, the rachises sharply 
angled ; bracts leaf-like, spathulate, bracteoles very small, subulate ;
