as the calyx, narrowly tubular, slightly constricted at the throat, hairy 
outside, glabrous inside ; the limb with 5 deep oblong lobes. Stamens 
10, linear-elliptic, apieulate, inserted in the bottom of the tube, 5 sessile 
and 5 with filaments. Female flowers shorter than the $ , with 
small filamentous staminodes. Ovary narrowly ovoid, densely rufous- 
hirsute, attenuated into a long pubescent style crowned by 5 short 
glabrous reflexed small stigmas. Fruit narrowly ellipsoid, sparsely 
hairy, -6 to 1 in. long and -5 in. in diam., crowned by the persistent 
style and subtended by the non-accrescent calyx. Seeds few, narrowly 
ellipsoid.

Differs from all the other Malayan species by its long pecluneled pendulous 
inflorescence. 
Species imperfectly known. 
30. Diospyros reflexa, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree 50 to 70 
feet high ; young branches as thick as a goose-quill, covered with a 
layer of minute deciduous rusty pubescence. Leaves alternate, thickly 
coriaceous ; oblong to elliptic, shortly acuminate, the base cuneate ; 
upper surface olivaceous-brown when dry, the lower pale brown, both 
minutely reticulate ; main-nerves 8 to 10 pairs, spreading, interarching 
•15 in. from the slightly recurved edges ; length 5 to 7'5 in., breadth 
1-75 to 3 in. ; petiole -4 or -5 in. Floivers unknown. Fruit hemi- 
spheric with depressed truncate apex, under 1 in. in diam. ; the calyx 
embracing the very base of the fruit with 4 fleshy much reflexed 
revolute triangular fleshy lobes, densely rusty-tomentose like the fruit. 
Perak : King's Collector 7676, 7747. 
The curious fleshy calyx with much-reflexed lobes distinguishes this from all the 
other Malayan species. 
31. Diospyros penangiana, King & Gamble, n. sp. A tree 20 to 
30 feet high ; young branches twice as thick as a crow-quill, covered 
with deciduous hair of two sorts, namely, a uniform coat of minute 
rusty tomentum with long rusty bristle-like hairs protruding through it. 
Leaves alternate, coriaceous ; oblong, shortly and bluntly acuminate, 
narrowed below the middle to the rather broad auriculately cordate 
base ; upper surface when dry pale brown, shining, glabrous except the 
puberulous depressed midrib ; lower surface reddish-brown, transversely 
reticulate, with pubescence like that of the young branches on the stout 
midrib and 10 to 14 pairs of ascending rather straight main-nerves, 
otherwise glabrescent ; length 5 - 5 to 7‘5 in., breadth 1-25 to 2-25 in. ; 
petioles - 15 to '2 in. long, hispid. Male and female floivers unknown.
