PoLYALTHIA COFFEOIDES. (Thw. MSS.) A good sized tree, young parts minutely puberulous, leaves lanceolate or 
oblongo-lanceolate glabrous on both sides shining above, (veins very prominent beneath) acute or rounded at the base, gradually attenu¬

seasons. The specimen figured is from the Anamallays.
