VOL. LXXIV., PART II.-Extra Number, 1905.

Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula.-By SIR GEORGE KING, K.C.I.E., LL.D., F.R.S., late Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, and J. S. GAMBLE, C.I.E., F.R.S., late of the Indian Forest Department.

No. 16.

The present contribution commences with an account of the genus Psychotria, which concludes the Natural Order Rubiacea. In addition, it contains accounts of the Natural Orders Valerianea and Composita (prepared by Sir G. King); Stylidiea, Goodenovieæ, and Campanulacea (prepared by Mr. Gamble); Vacciniacea and Ericaceae (Sir G. King); Epacridea and Plumbaginea (Mr. Gamble). For the new genera and species proposed in these Orders the authors are jointly responsible. The account of the Order Monotropea has been supplied by Lieut.Col. Prain, F.R.S., Superintendent of the Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta; and that of the Order Gentianea has been added, having been drawn up by Mr. C. B. Clarke, F.R.S., late President of the Linnean Society of London. It is somewhat out of its proper sequence, but has been included, as the descriptions were ready for publication.

In addition, therefore, to the account of the Rubiaceous genus Psychotria, with 29 Malayan Peninsular species, of which 11 are new to science, this fasciculus contains accounts of the Malayan members of 11 Natural Orders, including 48 genera and 81 species, of which 2 genera and 17 species are new to science.
