А very fine addition to the flora of the Malay Peninsula, the only other 
known species, Р. ewryoides, Gardn. & Champ., being a native of Hong- 
kong. Specimens of obviously the same species were some years ago 
brought by Mr. Barnes from K’luang Terbang in Pahang (Journ. Roy. 
As. Soc., Straits Branch, xxxix. (1903) 1-18). These specimens were in 
fruit, and the description of the fruit is taken from them. P. malayana 
differs from P. euryoides in its smaller, more thickly coriaceous, blunt 
leaves, and its shorter and thicker flower-spikes.
