28. Ardisia Hullettii, Mez Monog. Myrs. 130 (1901). Apparently 
a shrub; branchlets light brown, round, smooth; leaf-buds lanceolate, 
glabrous, black. Leaves membranous ; oblong-lanceolate, acuminate at 
apex, acuminately narrowed at base ; entire, glabrous on both surfaces , 
glands light-brown, large, in the areoles of beautifully netted venation , 
4 to 7 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad ; midrib slender ; impressed above ; 
main-nerves many, slender, irregular, 20 to 24 pairs, parallel at first 
and then arching upwards and joining in a narrow intramarginal ring ; 
secondary nerves many, like the main-nerves, reticulations numerous , 
petiole -4 in. long, slender, only very narrowly winged. Inflorescence 
an axillary, short, few- (1-5) flowered, glabrous, umbellate raceme, 
peduncle '5 to -7 in. long; pedicels -5 in. long, recurved, more or less 
clavate; buds conical, '3 to - 4 in. long. Calyx-lobes scarcely overlapping, 
ovate-orbicular, ciliate, "1 to '15 in. long, minutely gland-dotted , tube 
short. Corolla-lobes ovate- acuminate, upper edges incurved, oblique, 
unequal, many-nerved, sparsely black-gland-dotted ; tube very short. 
Stamens a little shorter than the corolla-lobes ; anthers oblong, mucio- 
nate, with 2 lines of prominent black glands on the back ; filaments 
short, spreading at base. Ovary ovoid, thick, glabrous; style short, 
subulate. Berry brown, smooth, globose, '2 in. in diam., seed white-

29. Ardisia oblongifolia, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub ; branch- 
lets brown, glabrous, with faint decurrent raised lines from either side of 
the insertion of the leaf-petioles ; leaf-buds lanceolate acuminate. Leaves 
chartaceous ; oblong, acute at apex, cuneate at base ; glabrous, entire ; 
glandular dots scattered but not prominent except near the margins 
which are reflexed ; 7 to 10 in. long, 2 to 2'5 in. broad ; midrib prominent, 
impressed above ; main-nerves 22 to 26 pairs, starting at an angle of 
nearly 80° from the midrib, at first straight and near the margin curving 
upwards to and along it; secondary nerves many, usually at least 1 to 2 
between each pair of main-nerves, 'reticulations in an elegant network ;
