Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
raised beneath ; main-nerves 8 to 9 pairs, raised, at an angle of 60° with 
the midrib, the lowest pair more oblique, nearly straight, meeting at 
about two-thirds of the way to the margin in a looped intramarginal 
raised nerve, reticulations obscure; petiole -15 in. long, bordered by 
the decurrent margins of the blade. Inflorescence of sessile, axillary, 
umbellate, nearly glabrous racemes of about 4 to 6 flowers, racemes 
hardly '1 in. long; bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, gland-dotted, -1 in. 
long ; pedicels slender, - 3 to '4 in. long, slightly clavate ; buds conical, 
acuminate, '3 in. long ; flowers white with a blueish tinge. Calyx-lobes 
4 to 5, very short, rounded, searious and ciliate on the margins, gland- 
dotted. Corolla-lobes ovate below, caudate-acuminate above, twisted 
and reflexed in flower, -3 in. long, sparsely pale-glandular-punctate. 
Stamens nearly as long as corolla-lobes, lanceolate, membranous at 
tip, with two lines of glandular dots on the back of the connective. 
Ovary rounded ; style very slender, as long as stamens. Berry bright 
red, glossy, - 25 in. in diam. when dry.

This species very closely resembles Antistrophe caudata , but is at once distinguished 
by the fact of the corolla-lobes overlapping to the right instead of to the left. The 
flowers somewhat resemble those of Ardisia porosa. 
5. Ardisia fulva, King & Gamble, n. sp. Apparently a shrub ; 
branchlets rather thick, usually marked by raised lines descending 
from the bases of the leaves ; innovations densely tawny -villous ; leaf- 
buds lanceolate, densely pubescent. Leaves coriaceous ; elliptic-oblong 
or elliptic-lanceolate, shortly acuminate at apex, somewhat rounded 
at base ; glabrous or slightly scaly above, thickly tawny - villous 
beneath ; glandular dots few, scattered, obscure, in the areoles of the 
minor nerves ; crenate, especially in the upper two-thirds ; 4 to 7 in. 
long, 1 to 2 in. broad ; midrib slender ; main-nerves 20 to 24 pairs, 
irregular, arching upwards and joining in an intramarginal nerve ; 
secondary nerves slender, faint, reticulations curved ; petiole - 4 to -6 in. 
long, winged by the decurrent edges of the blade. Inflorescence of short 
1 to 1-5 in. long, densely tawny-pubescent, drooping, corymbs in the axils 
of tawny, leaf-like, often nearly 1 in. long, bracts from the young branches 
below the end leaves ; peduncles about - 7 in. long, slender, pedicels 
slender, up to - 5 in. long ; bracteoles subulate, short, tawny; buds ovate, 
•2 to -25 in. long. Calyx-lobes ovate, thin, villous without, ciliate, -1 to 
•15 in. long, marked with prominent black dots, recurved in flower ; tube 
short. Corolla-lobes obovate, obtuse, ’2 to - 25 in. long, oblique, unequal, 
marked by prominent round or oblong black dots, tube short. Stamens
