Youngest shoots fulvous-tomentose. Leaves 5-7 in., with long slender tips, 
greenish when dry, glabrous above, base eglandular; nerves 8-10 pair above the 
basal, substellately puberulous, strong beneath, cross-nervules distant ; petiole 2-3in., 
terete. Racemes axillary, shorter than the leaves; bracts minute; flowers 10-20 in 
a cluster ; buds 44; in. long; sepals usually 3, membranous, very sparsely stellately 
hairy and glandular; stamens 60-70; anther-cells globose, separated by the con- 
nective which is not produced.—Differs from M. Helferi in the much larger leaves 
and flowers and very numerous stamens. 
24. M. bracteatus, Hook. f. ; shoots and racemes stellately pubescent, 
leaves opposite and subopposite membranous triple-nerved elliptic-oblong 
obtusely subcaudate acuminate sinuately subserrate obscurely glandular 
beneath base subacute, male racemes slender stellately pubescent shorter 
than the leaves, clusters few-fld., bracts lanceolate longer than the ovoid 
buds both densely subsilkily tomentose. 
PERAK, Scortechini. . 
Branchlets compressed when dry. Leaves 5-7 by 2-3 in., very thin in texture, 
glabrous on both surfaces, with no pellucid glands, dull greenish when dry, base 
narrow with obscure glandular areas; nerves 6-9 pairs above the basal, slender 
but strong beneath, cross-nervules distinct distant ; petiole 1-14 in.; stipules ovate 
luuceolate, pubescent. Male racemes 2—3 in. ; bracts lanceolate, buds fulvous tomen- 
tose =}; in. long; sepals 3, ovate; stamens 30—40, anther-cells globose separated by 
a broad sometimes produced connective. 
b. Leaves penninerved, not or very obscurely 3-plinerved. 
25. M. anisophyllus, Hook. f.; sparsely pubescent, leaves subsessile 
opposite in very unequal pairs penninerved eglandular beneath, larger 0 
each pair 6-8 in. elliptic lanceolate or oblanceolate acuminate smaller 
orbicular-ovate or -cordate, racemes very short few-fld., sepals of both sexes 
3 lanceolate, ovary spinescent, styles elongate subplumose, capsule 
rauricate. 
Maracca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1413).—Drstr1s. Borneo (Motley). . 
Branches terete woody, branchlets compressed simply hairy. Leaves rather thin, 
red brown and rather shining when dry, sometimes subfalcate, entire or subsinuate- 
toothed, glabrous or sparsely hairy on the midrib beneath, base very contracted but 
rounded; nerves 10-15 pair, cross-nervules very slender; petiole very short, stout, 
densely velvety-tomentose; stipules } in., subulate-lanceolate, rigid, persistent. 
Male racemes 4-1 in., filiform, bracts minute, flowers } in. diam., on slender pedicels ; 
sepals membranous, glabrous; stamens 15-20, connective broad fleshy carunculate. 
Fem. fl. few, on very short racemes; sepals pubescent; ovary clothed with appressec 
erect hispidulous spines; style O ; stigmas very long, slender, almost feathery nearly 
all over.—Maingay describes the male perianth as unequally 2-cleft. 
26. M. muricatus, Beddome Forester’s Man. 208 (not of Muell. Arq) 
quite glabrous, leaves opposite shortly petioled penninerved rhombi; 
lanceolate obtuse or obtusely narrowed at both ends entire or sinuate-toothe ; 
minutely glandular beneath nerves 6-8 pairs, male racemes and few 
glabrous slightly glandular, males short, fem. elongate, ovary with a y 
conical glabrous tubercles, capsule tridymous, cocci with two rows m
