100 Or. King— Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Feninsula. [No. 3, 
1. Harmandia kunstleri, King, n. sp. A glabrous tree 30 to 40 
feet high ; young branches slender, striate. Leaves coriaceous, ovate- 
lanceolate or lanceolate, shortly and bluntly acuminate, the base 
cuneate ; main nerves about 6 pairs, very indistinct on both surfaces ; 
length 2*5 to 3*5 in., breadth 1 to 2 in., petiole '25 to '5 in. Racemes of 
female flowers axillary, solitary, not much longer than the petioles. 
Flowers '15 in. long, solitary in the axils of oblong obtuse bracteoles. 
Calyx flat, spreading, with 4 very obtuse teeth. Corolla four times as 
long as the calyx, urceolate ; teeth 4, acute. Ovary hidden (except the 
stigmas) by the barren staminal tube and by the corolla, pyramidal, 
the style short; 1-celled with a single spuriously erect ovule: stigma 
solitary, capitate. Fruit oblong, obtuse, 1'25 in. long, and '6 in. in 
diam., surrounded at the base by the greatly enlarged coloured corru¬ 
gated calyx which forms a frill 3 to 4 in. in diam.

A very striking plant. The accrescent calyx forms an enormous 
waxy collar round the base of the fruit which, at first green, changes 
into a beautiful flesh-colour, the central part being bluish-black. This 
species is closely allied to LLarmandia mekongensis , Pierre (For. Flora 
Cocli. China, t. 264), from which it differs in having an urceolate (not 
tubular-campanulate) corolla and a larger fruit with the accrescent calyx 
less invaginated at the base. 
3. OCHANOSTACHYS, Mast. 
Trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate, petiolate, penni-nerved. Flowers 
numerous, on long sleuder branching axillary spikes. Calyx cup¬ 
shaped, 4-5-toothed, not accrescent. Petals 4-5, free, valvate. Stamens 
12-15, hypogynous, or adherent to the base of the petals; filaments 
subulate, glabrous; anthers 4-celled, opening longitudinally; stami- 
nodes 0. Disk hypogynous, fleshy, very shallow, annular, inconspicuous; 
ovary free, sub-hemispheric, incompletely 3-celled beneath, 1-celled 
above; style short, cylindric; stigma minute, terminal, 3-lobed; ovules 
1 iti each cell, pendulous from the apex of a central placenta. Fruit dru¬ 
paceous, 1-celled, 1-seeded.— Distrib. Species 1 or 2; natives of the 
Malay Peninsula and Borneo. 
1. Ochanostachys amentacea, Mast, in Hook. fil. FI. Br. Ind. I, 
579. A tree 30 to 40 feet high; young branches glabrous, the tips 
alone puberulous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, entire, 
bluntly sub-acuminate, the base slightly narrowed, both surfaces gla¬ 
brous ; main nerves 5 (rarely 4) pairs, ascending, prominent on the 
lower, depressed on the upper surface when dry; length 3 to 5 in., 
breadth 1*5 to 2‘5 in., petiole '5 to '75 in. Racemes as long as or longer
