in., breadth 1*5 to 2 in., petiole *35 in. Flowers in dense axillary 
fascicles; pedicels shorter than the flowers, each with several rotund, 
concave, minute bracteoles, one of which is close to the calyx. Calyx 
a shallow cnp with 5 broad rounded concave Segments. Petals •2 in. 
long, much longer than the calyx, erect, oblong, obtuse, their apices 
re-curved, pubescent on the edges and in the upper fourth of the inner 
surface. Stamens opposite the petals to which their filaments are 
attached for two-thirds of their length; anthers short, ovate. Ovary 
sub-globular, grooved, much shorter than the long cylindric style, 
stigma minute. Fruit unknown.

Evidently a Stromhosia ; the fruit, however, is as yet unknown. 
3. Strombosia rotundifolia, King. A tree or shrub; young 
branches rather stout; their bark cinereous, rugose, much lenticellate. 
Leaves coriaceous, more or less rotund, glabrous; main nerves 6 or 7 
pairs, rather straight, sub-ascending, obsolete on the upper, slightly pro¬ 
minent on the lower surface when dry; length 2*5 in., breadth 2 in. ; 
petiole ’3 in., stout. Fascicles small, axillary, few-flowered, shorter than 
the petioles; pedicels short, each with 2 or 3 minute rotund scale-like 
bracteoles. Calyx cupular, with 5 broad rounded imbricate teeth. 
Petals *15 in. long, much longer than the calyx, oblong, hairy on the 
upper half inside, otherwise glabrous ; filaments adnate to the petals for 
half their length, anthers ovate. Ovary sub-globular, style cylindric. 
Fruit (fide Masters) “ the size of a pea, glaucous, globose.” Anacalosa 
Maingayi , Mast, in Hook. fil. Br. Ind. I, 580. 
Singapore: Maingay (Kew Distrib.), No. 1019. 
A species closely allied to S. multiflora, King, but with differently 
shaped leaves. The fascicles of this are fewer-flowered, and the flowers 
are smaller than in that species. I have seen only Maingay’s specimen 
of this, and there is no fruit on it. Dr. Masters puts this plant into 
Anacalosa , but its petals and anthers are those of Stromhosia, to which 
genus I venture to remove it. 
6. Cansjera, Juss. 
Climbing shrubs, sometimes spiny. Leaves alternate, entire, penni- 
nerved. Floivers bracteate, in short axillary spikes, monochlamydeous, 
hermaphrodite. Perianth tubular or urceolate, regular, 4- 5-parted, 
lobes valvate. Stamens as many as the lobes of the perianth and 
opposite to them; filaments glabrous, free, or attached between the 
fleshy thick lobes of the disk. Anthers small, oblong, adnate, 2-celled, 
dehiscing longitudinally. Ovary superior, ovoid-conical, 1-celled. Style 
cylindric; stigma capitate, 4-lobed. Ovule solitary, erect, or pendulous
