Singapore (Ridley); Cambodia, on the hills of Camchay and 
the island Phu Quoe; Borneo (Beecari, nn. 2504, 3050). 
Glabrous, only petioles and ramifications of inflorescence 
slightly puberulous; small hairy glands (domatia) occasionally 
in the axils of secondary nerves. Flowers drooping, pedicellate, 
in unilateral racemes, these distichous and regularly alternating, 
forming short axillary racemose panicles.  Bracteoles ciliate. 
Calyx glabrous; petals sericeous outside; awn of connective 
longer than twice the anther. Stylopodium glabrous as well as 
ovary, constricted below ; style very short; stigma obtuse. Fruit 
ovoid, slightly acuminate, very tightly enclosed by the 5, at base, 
indurated calyx-segments. Both cotyledons bifid to base, the 
radicular somewhat larger; hypocotyl half the length of embryo. 
Cotyledons filled with starch. 
Pierre states that the tree attains 30 metres, and sends down 
into the ground aerial roots from the branches like Rhizophora, 
Ficus bengalensis, Ficus elastica, and other species of Ficus, 
which support the tree after the original trunk has decayed. 
This is most remarkable. The leaves of Ficus Benjamina, Linn. 
(narrow-leaved form), are similar to H. Pierrei, but it is not likely 
that a mistake has been made.

Penang (Curtis, nn. 425, 1397, 1398); Perak (Dr. King’s col- 
lector, n. 3709). 
Glabrous, inflorescence occasionally puberulous. Leaves un- 
equal-sided at base. Main secondary nerves 8-12 pairs, arching, 
numerous shorter intermediate nerves between, joined by very 
finely and closely reticulate veins. Flowers nodding, on pedicels 
half the length of calyx; 2—4 racemose panicles in the axil of one 
leaf. Calyx glabrous. Petals falcate, silky outside. Stamens 15, 
filaments dilated at base; the awn of the connective longer 
than anther and filament. Stylopodium constricted at base,
