Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
petiole rather slender, -8 to 1 in. long, bordered above by the decurrent 
margins of the blade. Inflorescence an axillary corymbose raceme of 
about 8 flowers and about '5 in. long on a 1-5 to 2 in. long flattened 
peduncle; pedicels '75 in. long, clavate. Calyx-lobes orbicular, ciliate, 
gland-dotted, about - 1 in. long ; tube as long : rest of flowers unknown. 
Berry globose, • 2 in. long, glandular-dotted. 
Perak : at 1,000 feet, Wray 3797. 
30. Ardisia tetrasepala, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub ; 
branchlets slender, pale brown, with indistinct raised lines from the 
sides of the leaf-petioles, sinuate, slightly scaly above. Leaves char- 
taceous ; elliptic or elliptic-ovate, gradually acuminate at apex, rounded 
at base ; glabrous above, pale brown when dry, very slightly pubescent 
on and near the midrib beneath ; glandular dots many scattered, promi- 
nently raised on the upper surface, margins slightly recurved ; 4'5 to 
6-5 in. long, 1-5 to 2-5 in. broad; midrib prominent below; main-nerves 
about 16 to 20, irregularly spaced, starting at an angle of 60° from the 
midrib, curved upwards, dividing and anastomosing with the secondary 
nerves in a marginal network, all raised beneath ; petiole -2 to -3 in. 
long, channelled above. Inflorescence a pseudo-terminal subumbellate 
8-12-flowered scarcely -2 in. long raceme in the axil of the uppermost 
leaf ; peduncle about - 5 in. long, pedicels slender, about '5 in. long. 
Calyx-lobes 4, ovate-orbicular, ciliate, gland-dotted, about -1 in. long, 
reflexed in fruit : rest of flower unknown. Berry globose, '25 in. in 
diam., black when dry and prominently dotted with oblong glands.

We place this species in Tunis instead of in Tinopsis because not only does the 
inflorescence seem to be only apparently terminal but its sub-umbellately racemose 
character seems to approximate more nearly to that of the former section. 
31. Ardisia biflora, King & Gamble, n. sp. A small shrub, 4 to 
8 feet high ; branches smooth, pale brown ; branchlets divaricate, 
slender. Leaves ehartaceous; oblong-lanceolate, acuminate at both apex 
and base ; glabrous ; entire or very faintly crenulate ; glandular dots 
many, black, large, in the areoles of the reticulations ; 3 to 5 in. long, 
■75 to 1‘5 in. broad; midrib slender ; main-nerves 12 to 14 pairs, at an 
angle of about 55° with the midrib, curving upwards to and along the 
margin where they meet in a wavy intramarginal nerve ; secondary 
nerves many, reticulations irregular ; petiole slender, ■ 2 to -5 in. long, 
sometimes longer. Inflorescence a lateral, 2-flowered, pedunculate umbel, 
l - 5 in. long; peduncle and pedicels each '75 in. long, slender. Calyx- 
lobes ovate, scarious and ciliate on the margins, prominently gland- 
dotted, '05 in. long ; tube as long : rest of flower unknown. Berry
