catkins; flowers very small, buds globose. Galyx-lohes 5, acute, ciliate 
on the edges, gland-dotted, tube as long as lobes, both together -05 in. 
long. Corolla very shortly gamopetalous ; lobes 5, ovate, obtuse, glabi ous 
within, -05 in. long. Stamens very short, shorter than corolla-lobes, 
inserted about half-way up; anthers oblong, rounded, with black 
papillose warts on the back; filaments as long as anthers, doisifixed. 
Ovary rounded, glabrous, conical above, style slender, stigma peltate.

Mez suggests that this may be a young state of Grenacheria Wallichiana. He 
apparently saw only Griffith’s specimen. The abundant material now available clearly 
shows that Clarke correctly considered it as separate. The curious eatkin-like young 
inflorescence and the more sparse leaf-venation distinguish it. 
11. Embelia Ridleyi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A climbing (?) 
shrub ; branchlets light brown, wrinkled. Leaves chartaceous ; oblong, 
acute at apex, rounded at base ; glabrous, glandular dots scattered 
obscure, margin somewhat recurved ; 4 to 7 in. long, 1‘5 to 3 in. broad , 
midrib thick, prominent below; main-nerves prominent below, about 12 
pairs, curving upwards and meeting in a looped intramarginal nerve , 
secondary nerves and reticulations faint ; petiole ’5 in. long, thick. 
Inflorescence an axillary panicle of racemes, the branches curved, distant ; 
rachis -5 to 1 in. long, that of racemes shorter, bracteoles minute, 
triangular ; racemes about '5 in. long. Calyx-lohes 4 or 5, ovate, gland- 
dotted, very small. Corolla and rest not seen. 
Singapore : Ridley 6324. It seems to come near to E . florihunda, 
Wall. 
E. Tsjeriam- Cottarn, A. DC. is quoted by Mez as extending from India southwards 
to Singapore, but we have seen no specimens from our region.
