erisped-crenulate with large glands in the crenulations ; pale and glab- 
rous on both surfaces ; glandular dots scattered, in the areoles of 
the reticulations; 4 to 6 in. long, 1-5 to 2 in. broad; midrib promi- 
nent, somewhat impressed above ; main-nerves about 12 to 14 pairs, 
irregular and irregularly spaced, usually starting at an angle of about 
60° with the midrib, at first straight, branching and joining in an 
intramarginal nerve close to the margin and passing through the 
crenature glands ; secondary nerves many, slender, reticulations many, 
curved ; petiole -4 to -6 in. long, winged by the decurrent margins 
of the blade. Inflorescence an almost sessile terminal corymb, com- 
posed of long-peduncled sub-umbellate racemes ; peduncles 1 to 1-5 in. ; 
pedicels ■ 5 to -8 in. long ; buds conical -25 in. long. Calyx-lobes oblong, 
obtuse, thin, -075 in. long, conspicuously dark-brown-gland-dotted; tube 
short. Corolla-lobes ovate, bluntly acuminate, oblique, unequal, con- 
spicuously marked by few dark brown lines and dots, -3 in. long ; tube 
very short. Stamens shorter than corolla-lobes, - 2 in. long, obtusely 
hastate ; anthers opening by broad longitudinal slits, conspicuously 
black-gland-dotted on back ; filaments short. Ovary rounded, style 
slender, -2 in. long. Berry globose, pale, somewhat depressed, -3 to 
•4 in. in diam., conspicuously marked with round or oblong purple 
dots, somewhat fleshy. Clarke in Hook. f. FI. Br. Ind. III. 524; Stapf

35. Ardisia Wrayi, King & Gamble, n. sp. A single-stemmed 
treelet or shrub reaching 5 feet in height, but usually smaller ; upper 
part of stem -25 in. thick, brown, with spongy bark and scurfy scales ; 
leaf-buds glabrous, lanceolate-acuminate. Leaves membranous ; oblong- 
lanceolate, long acuminate at apex, long cuneate at base ; margins re- 
curved ; somewhat scaly on both surfaces, scurfy along the midrib 
beneath ; glandular dots prominent scattered ; broadly crenate, the crena- 
tures shallow with large glands ; deep green above, red or purple beneath ; 
6 to 10 in. long, 1-5 to 3 in. broad; midrib slender; main-nerves 
12 to 20 pairs, irregular in angle and distance, curving upwards to and 
along the margin where they or their branches end in the glands of the 
crenatures ; secondary nerves few, reticulations many scarcely pro- 
minent ; petiole '7 to 1'3 in. long, somewhat flattened, bordered by the 
decurrent margins of the blade. Inflorescence of glabrous sub-umbellate 
racemes from the axils of the uppermost leaves, usually crowded so as 
to present almost the appearance of a terminal cluster ; peduncles 
usually '5 in. long, occasionally shorter but often longer, even up to 
2 in., flattened ; racemes very short, much marked by the scars of very
