middle between the 4 lobes of the eotyledons, the cells of these 
filled with oil and a little starch, 
This species is much infested with galls of various shapes, 
resembling wingless fruits or cones with pointed scales. On the 
leaves are round hairy galls, and along midrib and base of 
secondary nerves are curious swellings, which probably are galls, 
and which it would be interesting to examine on the spot. These 
swellings are hollow, consisting of several longitudinal compart- 
ments, and the walls of these compartments are clothed with 
long slender stellate hairs.

Flowers not seen. Burck does not say whether anthers are 
exappendieulate The leaves differ from those of S. leprosula by 
the perfectly glabrous copper-coloured underside. Similar galls 
and excrescences along midrib. Possibly not specifically distinct.

Malay Peninsula ( Maingay, n. 202); Borneo (Beccari, n. 2603). 
Leaves oblong, acuminate, sometimes obovate-oblong ; secon- 
dary nerves 20-22 pairs; tertiary parallel, prominent beneath. 
Tufts of stellate hairs on underside of midrib, nerves, and veins. 
Inflorescence like Zeprosula, but bracts unequal, the smaller on 
the front side. Stamens about 40, mostly without appendix. 
Ovary glabrous below, continued into long hairy stylopodium, 
terminating in a short glabrous style and furrowed obconical 
stigma.

Penang. 
Buds enveloped in large bracts, which fall when the flowers 
open. Stamens 15; anthers ovoid-globose, not apiculate. Ovary 
glabrous at base, tomentose in the upper part; style short, 
glabrous. Fruit tomentose, elongated, almost cylindric, base 
only enclosed by the enlarged base of wings. Embryo similar 
to that of S. leprosula, but cotyledons unequal, containing 
starch.
