Trees. Leaves alternate, simple, 1 -nerved, petiolate. Inflorescence ter- 

 minal, panicled, many-flowered. Flowers regular, dichlamydeous, herma- 

 phrodite. Calyx tubular below, limb deeply 5-parted, lobes imbricate, 

 not accrescent. Corolla tubular below, limb deeply 5-parted, lobes im- 

 bricate, glabrous. Stamens 5, glabrous, springing from the tube of the corolla, 

 alternate with its lobes ; anthers linear, innate, dehiscing longitudinally. 

 Stamimdes 0. Ovary free, stipitate, 2-celled ; styles 2, stigma minute ; ovules 

 solitary in each cell, pendulous, anatropal, raphe lateral or subventral. 

 Fruit 2-celled, compressed, orbicular, emarginate, deeply winged, wings 

 striate. Seed elongate, compressed, albuminous ; radicle superior, cylior 

 drical, cotyledons linear-lanceolate longer than the radicle. — DisteibI 

 opecies 2, one Malayan, the other from Borneo. 



Bj reason of the imbricate calyx and stamens alternate with the petals, this genus 

 snould be placed in Icacmece^ but the structure of the ovary is that of Olaciiiece, The 

 fruit is quite distinct.
