About 7 species, 6 of which in South India and Ceylon. 
1. Isonandra perakensis, King & Gamble, n. sp. A small tree 
reaching 30 to 40 feet in height; ultimate branchlets, leaf-buds and 
young leaves appressed greyish-brown-pubescent. Leaves coriaceous ; 
obovate-oblong, rounded at the apex, cuneate sometimes un- 
equally at the base ; the margins reflexed, glabrous and dull above, 
thickly brown-pubescent beneath ; 2 to 3 - 5 in. long, 1 to 1'5 in.

with the midrib, reticulations very inconspicuous ; petiole ‘2 to - 3 in. 
long, rather stout. Flowers fasciculate, on very short, -1 in. long, thick, 
angular pedicels in the axils of upper leaves ; buds ’15 in. long, obtuse, 
brown-appressed-pubescent. Calyx of 4 lobes, an outer pair and an 
inner pair, the outer valvate, the inner shining within, minutely ciliate ; 
lobes -15 in. long. Corolla 4-lobed ; lobes rounded, about equal to the 
tube, together about equal to the calyx. Stamens 8, filaments thickened ; 
anthers lanceolate, sagittate at base, extrorse. Ovary slightly hairy, 
conical, surmounted by a short linear style as long as the calyx ; cells 4. 
Berry oblong, acute, smooth, - 4 to - 5 in. long. Seeds ellipsoid, acute

2. Isonandra rufa, King & Gamble, n. sp. A small tree, 
reaching 20 to 30 feet in height and 4 to 6 in. in diam. ; younger 
branchlets and innovations densely ferruginous pubescent. Leaves 
membranous ; obovate, long acuminate sometimes abruptly at apex, 
cuneate and finally more or less rounded at base ; sparsely pubescent 
above when young, nearly glabrous when old; roughly pubescent 
beneath, especially on the nerves ; 5 to 7 in. long, 1-5 to 2-5 in. broad ; 
midrib prominent ; main-nerves 8 to 10 pairs, irregularly distanced, at 
first at an angle of about 45° with the midrib, then arching upwards ; 
secondary nerves and reticulations prominent; petiole -3 in. long, 
slender, rusty-pubescent, channelled above ; stipules very short, 
subulate, rusty-pubescent, very caducous. Flowers solitary or in 
pairs in the axils of the upper leaves or on the upper branchlets, 
very small ; pedicels slender, -25 in. long, recurved. Galyx-lohes 4, 
densely ferruginous-pubescent ; 2 outer valvate, ovate, -2 in. long ; 
2 inner imbricate, ovate, somewhat scarious and ciliate on the margins.
