Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 
sessile umbels, with very minute bracts; pedicels slender, clavate, 
■4 in. long; buds conical, long acuminate, '3 in. long, glabrous. Calyx- 
lobes ovate, acute, ‘05 in. long, ciliate on the edges, gland-dotted in two 
central lines. Corolla-lobes ovate, long-caudate-acuminate, '3 in. long, 
glabrous, dotted with few elongate glands. Stamens inserted at the 
base of the corolla-lobes and nearly as long as them (-25 in.) ; anthers 
sagittate-lanceolate with prominent rows of glands on the back, con- 
nective produced upwards in a membranous tip. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; 
style subulate, -25 in. long, very slender. Berry globose, -25 in. in 
diam., smooth, obscurely vertically striate.

This species at first sight resembles A. oxyantha, A. DC., of North-East India, but 
has smaller and differently-veined leaves, with different glands and smaller flowers. 
2. Antistrophe Curtisii, King & Gamble, n. sp. A shrub (?) ; 
branchlets round, rusty-glandular-hirsute, zigzag, with faint raised lines 
from the bases of the petioles of the leaves ; innovations densely rusty- 
glandular-hirsute. Leaves membranous ; elliptic or elliptic-oblong, acu- 
minate at apex, rounded at base, entire ; nearly glabrous above except 
on the midrib, sparsely rusty-hirsute beneath ; 3-5 to 5 in. long, 1'5 
to 2 in. broad ; midrib slender, raised beneath ; main-nerves about 
10 pairs, at about an angle of 50° with the midrib, curved upwards, 
forked and broadly anastomosing near the margin, lowest pair not 
more oblique than the others; secondary nerves and reticulations 
obscure ; petiole -2 in. long, crispedly channelled above. Inflorescence 
of densely rusty-hirsute, sub-sessile, axillary, 4-6-flowered, umbellate 
racemes, -1 to -15 in. long; bracteoles subulate, -05 in. long; pedicels 
slender, -3 to f 5 in. long ; buds caudate-acuminate, '3 in. long. Calyx- 
lobes linear subulate, -1 in. long, densely rusty-hirsute. Corolla-lobes 
ovate at base, long caudate-acuminate, ‘3 in. long, scarcely dotted, 
3-5-nerved, sparsely hirsute without. Stamens rather shorter than the 
corolla-lobes, connivent in a cone ; anthers sessile, lanceolate sagittate, 
the back with 2 rows of prominent round or elongate glands, the 
connective produced in a blunt membranous tip. Ovary ovoid, style 
slender, as long as anthers. Berry not seen.
