MR. G. D. HAVILAND: REVISION OF THE NAUCLEER. 57 
A large tree with spreading branches ; its wood is light-coloured, fine, 
and durable. The Philippine specimens (Cuming, n. 878) differ somewhat 
from the Polynesian specimens, but these differ amongst themselves. 
17. NAUCLEA CYRTOPODA, Mig. 
Typus (?). 
Ramuli robusti, subpurpurei, internodiis 3-6 cm. Folia 
22 cm. longa, 10 em. lata, elliptico-oblonga, abrupte acuminata, 
coriacea, glabra, nervis 14.  Petioli 17 mm., crassi. Pedunculi 
solitarii, 4 cm.; bracteæ ab apice 10 mm. distantes. Capitula 
sine corollis 25 mm. Corolle tubus 16 mm.; lobi 5, glabri. 
Antherz lineares apiculate, usque ad summum tubum non per- 
venientes. Stylus 28 mm. Calycis loborum partes cadues 
4 mm., filiformes, minute clavate, apice flave, partes persistentes 
8 mm., lineari-lanceolate, castanee, glabre; tubus 2 mm., 
hirsutus. Receptaculum hirsutum, setis glabris.—JN. cyrtopoda,

Marasra.—Borneo (Lowe), Sarawak (Haviland, n. 198 b. r.e. t., 
n. 713 d. k. r. o). Sumatra: Padang (Junghuhn, Beccari, n. 719). Java. 
Miquel’s description was taken from a Sumatran specimen. The above 
description is taken from a Bornean specimen, which is probably a 
variety of Miquel's plant, but quite possibly it may prove to be a closely 
allied species. The most distinctive characters of these plants are the 
anthers not reaching to the top of the tube, the size, shape, and glabrous 
character of the persistent portions of the calyx-lobes, the solitary 
peduncles, and the size of the plants ; their branches often present hollow 
swellings which have been inhabited by ants; they are nearly allied 
to Nauclea peduncularis. In the Kew Herbarium are three specimens 
from Borneo and two from Sumatra. In the Leiden Herbarium are 
two specimens from Sumatra and one from Java, but none of the 
Sumatran specimens are in flower: in these the tips of the calyx-lobes 
seem to be much more elongate than in the Bornean specimens ; in two 
of them the flower-heads seem to be almost sessile, probably because the 
foliaceous bracts are large and persistent; in one plant at Leiden the 
stipuliform bracts still enclose the young head, they are 6 cm. long and 
strongly keeled down the middle. Miquel in Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd.-Bat. 
lv. 180 refers his Nauclea cyrtopoda to Anthocephalus indicus, and says 
that itis a form with short petioles and swellings on the branchlets. 
This is impossible.
