depressed-globose 3-celled obscurely 3-lobed smooth rusty-puberulous, peri- 
carp rather thick, seeds 3 in. long broadly ellipsoid compressed smooth. 
PERAK, Scortechini.—This in Herb. Calcutta is named B. macrocarpa, Muell., but 
it does not agree with the description of that species. 
27. Baccaurea sp. G; branchlets petioles and leaves beneath tomen- 
tose, leaves 5-6 in. coriaceous elliptic acute or acuminate base acute or obtuse 
shining above, nerves 6-8 pairs very strong beneath, petiole equalling NUN 
the blade, fruiting racemes 1-3 in. very stout tomentose, fruit subsessile 
ł-1 in. long obovoidly pyriform terete 3-celled smooth finely puberulous, 
pedicel bracteate at the base, top rounded, stigmas 3 short depressed 2-fid, 
arms short recurved, pericarp thick glabrous within, seed as in sp. 26. 
Maracca, Griffith (Kew Distrib. 4901), Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1361).—Perhaps 
a variety of 26, 
28. Baccaurea sp. H; a small shrub or tree 10-15 ft., branches slender 
with pure white bark, leaves 3-5 in. rather membranous elliptic-laneeolate 
obtuse, base very acute, nerves 5-6 pairs very slender and nervules faint y 
reticulate, petiole 1—3 in., fruiting racemes very short from the branc os 
1-2 in. slender glabrous, pedicels 5 in. ebracteate tomentose jointed abou 
the middle, sepals caducous, fruit 4 in. turgidly ellipsoid rarely globose 
obscurely puberulous and wrinkled 2-celled base rather contracted p 
rounded with a very short style and 3 minute stigmas, pericarp very, t lar 
endocarp not separable pale red-brown within, seeds 3 in. obovoidly orbiculat 
compressed smooth, umbonate at the lower end. 
Perak, King's Collector (No. 7213).—Closely resembles a fruiting Javanene 
specimen of B. javanica, Muell., from Teysmann, which differs in not baving W Iso 
bark, and in there being minute subulate bracts at the base of the pedicels. En 
resembles a plant named B. acuminata, Muell., from the Nicobar Islands in 1 e 
Calcutta Herbarium, but neither has that white bark. The Bornean plant, Motley 
n. 579, referred by Mueller to B. javanica is, I think, quite different from all the 
above. 
29. Baccaurea? symplocoides, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous, branches 
slender, leaves 4—5 in. membranous ovate-lanceolate caudate-acuminate pen- 
ninerved, nerves 6-7 pairs slender, petiole slender, fem. racemes axillary 
on the young branches rather longer than the petioles, rachis and pedunc? 
puberulous, bracts minute broad membranous, sepals 4-5 minute broad, 
ovary ovoid oblong compressed truncate, stigmas 2 very short, fruit jan 
long ellipsoid or ovoid smooth, epicarp thin, endocarp papery.
