petiolo gracili, tereti, substriato, glabro, limbo paulo bre- 
viore, imo torto apiceque tumido; panicula J racemosa, 
graciliter elongata, supra-axillari, glabra, nigrescente, ramis 
divaricatis, tenuiter longis, subflexuosis ; floribus parvis, imo 
bracteolatis, spicatim sessilibus et alternatim dispositis. — In 
Java, t>.s. in herb. DeCandolle. (Zollinger, 2335). 
This species is very distinct from any of the preceding; for, 
in the size and shape of its leaves, its elongated petiole, and its 
very long, slender, pendent racemes, it greatly resembles Tinu- 
miscium Javanicum: its smooth branches are 1^ line in diam., 
with internodes of inch : the larger leaves are 8 inches long, 
6 inches broad, with a petiole \ line in diam. and 6 inches long : 
the younger leaves are more distinctly bisinuate at base, with a 
longer, narrower, and more obtuse lobe about the petiole; they 
are more acute at the apex, of very thin texture, almost veinless, 
fuscous above, dark brown beneath, 4|-5 inches long, 2^-2 1 
inches broad, on a petiole 3^-4^ inches long. The glabrous 
raceme-like panicle is 18 inches long, on a slender rachis, with 
delicate flexuose branchlets 2-3 inches long and ^-| inch apart, 
bearing numerous alternate approximate flowers, which are 
quite sessile and | line in diam. in bud : these have three acute 
bracts (1 inferior tuberculate at base, 2 lateral membranaceous), 
flve equal outer sepals, and three others internal and somewhat 
smaller, all oblong, acute, very fleshy, quite glabrous, with nar- 
row membranaceous eroso-ciliate margins, eleven to flfteen sta- 
mens, with almost sessile 4-lobed anthers, aggregated in the 
centre into a globular head. 
6. Anamirta luctuosa, nob. ; — ramulis fuscis, valde striatis, gla- 
bris ; folds late ovatis, imo cordatis, e basi sensim paulo an- 
gustioribus, apice breviter acutis, fusco-nigrescentibus, imo 
5-nerviis, supra glabris, nitidis, subtus opacioribus, nervis 
tomentellis in axillis obsolete barbatis ; petiolo subtenui, limbo 
fere sequilongo, striato, glabro, imo torto et longe tumido. — 
In Java, v. s. in herb. Mus. Brit, sine flore (Horsfield). 
This plant is evidently allied to the preceding species, but 
differs in many respects. Its leaves are extremely dark and 
shining, subcoriaceous, 6 inches long, 4f inches broad, on a 
petiole 5 5 inches long. 
7. Anamirta jucunda, noh.; — glaberrima, ramulis striatis; folds 
majusculis, late ovatis, imo cordatis, summum versus gradatim 
acutioribus, apice breviter recurvo et mucronulato, subpallidis, 
subcoriaceis, imo 5-nerviis, supra laevissimis, nervis subim- 
mersis, et hinc, ubi junctis, pulvino globoso donatis, subtus
