5. Maba Clarkeana, King & Gamble, ‘n. sp. A tree 20 to 30 feet 
high ; young branches twice as thick as a crow-quill, puberulous when 
young, ultimately glabrous, cinereous with small black strise. Leaves 
alternate, coriaceous ; oblong, tbe apex blunt and sometimes minutely 
notched, the base cuneate ; upper surface olivaceous, glabrous, shining 
when dry ; lower surface dull, paler, sparsely and deciduously adpressed- 
pubeseent and the minute reticulations rather distinct ; main-nerves 
6 or 7 pairs, spreading, very faint on both surfaces ; midrib bold in the 
lower, depressed on the upper surface ; length 1'5 to 3 in., breadth 
■65 to 1-25 in. ; petioles -1 in. long. Male flowers small (only -1 to 15 in. 
long), crowded in sessile cymes '25 to ’5 in. long, in the axils of the 
upper leaves, with a few oblong bracteoles. Calyx sessile or sub- 
sessile, adpressed-pubescent outside, glabrous inside, divided half-way 
down into 3 sub-erect broadly ovate acute lobes. Corolla smaller than 
the calyx, densely sericeous outside, glabrous inside, divided to the 
base into 3 ovate-lanceolate, with an inner -row of 3 or 6 similar 
but narrower, lobes. Stamens 6, in pairs, joined by the bases of their 
broad filaments ; anthers lanceolate. Female flower unknown. Fruit 
globular, -35 in. in diam., glabrous. Calyx at its base thick, with
