beneath puberulous or softly tomentose and gland-dotted, with 6-8 pairs of nerves 
above the basal, and cross-nervules; petiole 6-12 in., glabrous, glaucous; stipules 
broadly ovate, acuminate, recurved. Male panicles with a glaucous peduncle and 
rusty-tomentose branches; clusters of flowers remote; floral bracts very broad, 
concave, or broader and flat, not concealing the flowers; glandular appendages 1— in. 
long ; flowers 4; in. diam.; sepals obovate, membranous, pubescent. Fem. panicles 
smaller, bracts glandular ; flowers pedicelled ; calyx 4-cleft ; styles equalling the globose 
glabrous waxy ovary. Capsule very small, rarely didymous.— Ceylon specimens have 
Normally didymous very small capsules, with the central axis often persistent as an 
elliptie disk. — Wights M. flezuosa, of which no specimen exists, is, I think, only 
M. indica with larger bracts of the male fl. than usual. 
6. M. perakensis, Hook. f.; leaves 3-4 in. diam. deltoid-ovate cuspi- 
date base rounded peltate palmately 7-9-nerved minutely hoary beneath, 
male panicles very slender subtomentose, stamens 10-12, styles short recurved, 
capsules small didymous clothed with waxy glands. 
PERAK, Scortechini. 
Branchlets woody, puberulous, not glaucous, tips and young leaves rusty-tomentose. 
Leaves much smaller than in M. indica, membranous, glabrous and brown above with 
2-3 glands at the base above, pale beneath, with 8-10 pair of nerves above the basal ; 
petiole 2-3 in. hoary ; stipules small, subulate, rusty-tomentose. Male panicles 
like those of M. denticulata, but smaller ; bracts at the base of the branches lanceolate, 
oral very minute, rounded ; flowers 44 in. diam. ; sepals 3-4, pubescent, hardly 
glandular. Fruiting racemes 1-1} in. Capsule 3 in. diam. 
** Floral bracts of male large, often toothed, concealing clusters of 
owers. 
T Leaves peltate entire. (See also M. megalophylla.)
