6. Alchornea sp.?; densely white-tomentose, leaves estipellate 2-3 10. 
oblong obtuse or subacute penninerved denticulate not pellucid-dotted base 
triple-nerved, petiole 1-1} in. slender, spikes terminal as long as the leaves, 
bracts minute, sepals 4 in. narrowly oblong closely imbricate, ovary pubes- 
cent 3-celled, style stout, stigmas 3 long revolute.— Perak, Scortechini. 
The fem. spikes resemble the catkin of a willow, the flowers resembling wilo 
pistils. The specimens are in a very young state, and in fem. fl. only. The play ve 
very unlike anything I know, and 1 hope it may be recognized by the abo 
diagnosis.
