young branches and inflorescence pale tawny-pubescent. Leaves ovate 
to elliptic-ovate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the margin cartilaginous, 
sometimes crenate-serrate, the base always entire and rounded ; upper 
surface glabrous, shining : the lower dull, pale but not glauoous, with 
scattered black dots, glabrescent except the puberulous midrib and 6 or 7 
pairs of rather prominent sub-ascending main nerves ; the reticulations 
distinct, wide; length 2 "2 5 to 3' 75 in., breadth 1’25 to 1 ' 75 in.; petiole 
'75 to 1'25 in., pubescent. Racemes mostly from the wood below the 
leaves (a few axillary) more than half as long as the leaves. Flowers 
"2 in. in diam., their pedicels - 1 in. long or less: buds ovoid, blunt. 
Sepals lanceolate, sub-acute, outside tomentose, inside pubescent and 
the midrib thickened; the edges not incurved. Petals broadly cun- 
eate, glabrous, cut for a third or a fourth of their length into about 
25 narrow fimbriae ; the base truncate. Torus of 5 distinct, fleshy, 
oblong, truncate, several -grooved, velvety glands. Stamens 20 to 25, 
shorter than the petals ; filaments less than half as long as the minutely 
scaberulous anthers ; cells sub-equal, the longer sometimes with 2 or 3 
short white hairs. Ovary globose, pointed, grooved, tomentose, 3-celled. 
Style slightly longer than the ovary, conic-cylindric, pubescont at the 
base, glabrescent above. Fruit ovoid-globular, glabrous, slightly 
rugose, 1 to 1'25 in. long when ripe, and ’8 to - 9 in. in diam. : pulp 
rather thin : stone bluntly rugose : putamen very hard, thick : 1 cell 
with a solitary seed, the other 2 cells abortive.

This resembles E. parvifolius, Wall, in some respects; but its 
leaves have more rounded bases, thoir nerves are rather more numerous 
and the petioles longer ; the flower buds are blunt and not pointed as in 
that species, and they are tomentose rather than pubescent; also 
the stamens are more numerous and the ovary is 3 celled. This is found 
moreover at much higher elevations than E. parvifolius which is found at 
elevations under 1000 feet. 
6. Eljjocarpps salicifoltus, n. sp., King. A tree 30 feet high : 
young branches puberulous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly lanceo- 
late, slightly oblique : acuminate, serrulate-crenulate oxcept at the entire 
cuneate base; upper surface glabrous, shining, olivaceous when dry, 
the midrib puberulous ; lower dull brown when dry, glabrescent, the 
midrib puberulous : main nerves about 8 pairs, rather straight, sub- 
ascending, slender; length 3 to 3'5 in., breadth - 7 to '9 in.: petiole 
about - 5 in., puberulous. Racemes from the lower axils and from the 
axils of fallen leaves, nearly as long as the leaves ; the slender rachises,
