1. Chailletia tenuifolia, King, n. sp. A shrub, 6 feet high; 
young branches, angular, puberulous. Leaves thinly membranous, 
elliptic-lanceolate, tapering to either end, the apex shortly acuminate: 
both surfaces glabrous and reticulate; main nerves 5 to 8 pairs, ascend¬ 
ing, curving and interarcliing boldly, depressed on the upper, promi¬ 
nent on the lower surface; length 6 to 8 in., breadth 2'25 to 2'75 in.; 
petiole “15 in., strigose. Gymes small, globular, *25 to *4 in. in diam., 
axillary, solitary ; their pedicels '15 in., strigose. Flowers sub-globular, 
*05 in. in diam. Sepals erect, elliptic, obtuse, minutely sericeous out¬ 
side, glabrous inside. Petals shorter but broader than the sepals, 
glabrous, slightly bifid at the apex, the lobes sab-acute. Stamens 
shorter than the petals, the filaments slightly sericeous,.shorter than the 
oblong innate anthers, connective slightly sericeous. Ovary ovoid, 
densely sericeous-lanate; style short. Ripe fruit deeply 3-lobed *6 in. 
long and ‘75 in. broad. 
Perak: King’s Collector, No. 3498. 
This species shows no tendency to become scandent. 
2. Chailletia Hookeri, King, n. sp. A climber; young branches 
terete, puberulous at first, afterwards glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, 
oblong-lanceolate and acuminate (rarely oblong and obtuse or sub-acute), 
the base narrowed, reticulate and shining on both surfaces, glabrous 
except a few strigose hairs on the midrib near the base; main nerves 
8 to 10 pairs, curving and interarching far from the edge; length 4*5 
to 6'5 in., breadth 1*5 to 2 in.; petiole *25 in., strigose. Cymes axil¬ 
lary, usually in pairs, pedunculate, tomentose, dichotomous, spreading, 
1 to 2 in. in diam., the peduncles *5 to *75 in. long. Flowers about 'I 
in. long. Sepals oblong, blunt, erect, concave, sericeous-tomentose 
outside, glabrous inside. Petals glabrous, shorter but broader than the 
sepals, deeply divided into two concave irregularly obovate overlapping
