entire, slightly narrowed to the rounded 3-nerved base : upper surface 
glabreseent, the midrib sub-tomentose, lower surface rather sparsely 
rusty stellate-pubescent t main lateral nerves 5 to 8 pairs, prominent 
beneath as are the rather straight transverse veins : length 6 to 9 in., 
breadth 3'5 to 4'5 in. ; petiole '5 to 75 in. stout, tomentose. Panicles 
short, axillary or terminal, rusty-tomentose 1'5 to 2'5 in. long and 1 in. 
or more broad, few-flowered: involucres ovate-lanceolate. Flowers 2'5 
in. long, their pedicels shorter. Sepals oblong, tomentose on both 
surfaces. Petals shorter than the sepals, oblong, acute, the hirsute 
claw larger than the glabreseent limb. Torus cup-shaped, with hirsute 
margin. Ovary depressed-globose : style cyliudric, ptiberulous. Drupe 
obovoid, '75 in. long and '5 in. in diam., pericarp at first sparsely pubes-

6. Grewia antidesmje folia, n. sp., King. A tree usually 30 to 
40, but sometimes 50 to 60 feet, high : youug branches glabrous, their 
bark cinereous. Leaves membranous, glabreseent when young, when 
old quite glabrous, elliptic-oblong, acute or shortly acuminate, entire, 
the base usually cuneate but sometimes rounded, boldly 3-nerved; 
lateral main nerves 5 or 6 pairs, little curved, ascending, prominent be- 
neath ; length 4' 5 to 8 in., breadth 1'5 to 2'75 in.; petiole '4 to '6 in. 
slender. Panicles pedunculate, axillary and terminal, slender, the 
branches short, spreading, few-flowered, densely but minutely cinereous, 
velvetty, 2 to 3 in. long. Flowers '25 in. long, their pedicels shorter. 
Sepals elliptic, slightly obovate, their edges in the upper half much 
incurved, tomentose outside, pubescent inside. Petals much shorter 
than the sepals, oblong, blunt, the glabreseent limb about as long as the 
broad thickened claw ; claw pilose behind, with hirsute edgos in front. 
Toms cylindric, glabrous, with wide wavy hirsute mouth. Ovary ovoid- 
globose, pilose when young, glabreseent when adult, shorter than the 
cylindric glabrous style. Fruit pyriform, obtusoly 3-angled, narrowed 
to a long pseudo-stalk, ‘75 in. long (including the narrowed portion) 
about '35 in. in diam. ; pericarp glabrous, mesocarp slightly fleshy with 
a thin fibrous iuner layor. Pyrenes 3, with bony endocarp, two of them 
abortive and the third l-celled, 1-seeded.
