nata, 5-9-poll., 12-32 poll. lata, petiolo crasso 4-6-lin., glabra, nitida v. subtus

XXV. BIHANIA. 
Flores hermaphroditi? paniculati, nudi. Calyx infundibuliformis, 6-parti- 
ius, lobis subaequalibus. Stamina 12, quadriseriata, eglandulosa, quorum 
9 sterilia, scil. 6 exteriora petaliformia, calycis lobis opposita iisque similia ; 
seriei tertie fertilia (3) conniventia, cuneato-linearia, subtriquetra, apice 
truncata, antherà cum filamento confluente apice locellis 4? in eodem plano 
sitis extrorsum et introrsum dehiscentibus ; seriei quartee (staminodia) subu- 
lata. Ovarium (sterile ?) angustum, calycis tubo inclusum, stylo acuminatum, 
stigmate simplici obtuso. Fruct....— Arbor Borneensis, foliis sparsis coriaceis 
penninerviis, paniculis lateralibus laxis. — Florum analysis, ob partium minu- 
tiem in sicco difficillima, circa veram staminum fabricam dubia nobis reliquit. 
Si anthere re vera, ut a cel. Hook. fil. in sched. indicantur, in unicá serie 
lj-locellatee simulque extrorse et introrse, quod nos nec aflirmare nec negare 
possumus, genus sane ab omnibus distinctissimum foret, ceterum ad Endian- 
dram proxime accedit, sed staminum naturà et glandularum defectu satis 
distinctam. Nomen ab appellatione vernaculà arboris derivatum.
