Burma, Kurz.—DisTRIB. Java (Zollinger, Herb. 2228). 
A tree. Leaves 4 in.; nerves 10-14 pairs, obsolete above, distinct beneath, 
diverging from the midrib at a high angle, secondary almost as prominent as the 
primary and more numerous; petiole about $ in.; stipules lanceolate, glabrous, i in. 
Male fl. few, only near the mouth of the receptacle, on thick pedicels ; sepals 2, 
broad, ovate, hyaline; anther single, ovate-rotund, sessile. Gall fl. pedicelled ; 
perianth 4-toothed ; ovary ovate, with broad ends, smooth; style elongate, stigma 
flat. Fem. fl. sessile; achene ovate-reniform, minutely tubercled. 
35. F. rhododendrifolia, Mig. Ann. iii. 286; quite glabrous except 
the stipules, leaves thinly coriaceous shining smooth elongate-elliptic or 
oblong rarely elliptic-ovate acuminate entire, base narrowed or subcun eate 
rarely rounded, receptacles in axillary pairs sessile smooth globose purplish- 
red when ripe about 4 in. diam., basal bracts 3 broad rounded glabrous 
rsistent. King Fic. 47, t. 58, 83". Urostigma rhododendrifolium, Mig. în

Hir. 
A tree. Leaves 4-5 in. ; main nerves slightly more prominent than the secondary, 
from 12-14 pairs, anastomosing near the margin; petiole 3-2 in.; stipules lanceolate, 
iin. deciduously pubescent. Male fl. few, only near the mouth of the receptacle, 
sessile; sepals 2, broadly ovate, flat, longer thau the stamen ; anther ovate, apiculate, 
filament very short. Gall fl. shortly pedicelled, perianth with 3 sharp teeth; ovary 
globose ; style elongate; stigma flat. Fem. fl. sessile; sepals 3, lanceolate ; achene 
triangular, prominently but minutely tubercled ; style elongate; stigma small. —A 
species badly represented in herbaria, and not well understood. Kurz is, I believe, 
in error in giving the Andaman Islands as a habitat.

A large tree. Leaves 24-3} in.; lateral nerves about 12 pairs, prominent, anie 
at right angles to the strong broad midrib, reticulations dark-coloured, small, te 
very distinct beneath; petiole stout, about À in.; stipules ovate, much acumina " 
about 1 in., membranous, rather persistent. Male fl. few, scattered, sessile; Sep? t 
3, lanceolate, scarcely covering the single stamen; anther ovate, apiculate, ee 
short broad. Gall and fem. fl. similar, sessile or pedicelled; perianth 4-5-cleft ; 
ovary ovoid ; style elongate when young, short when ripe from breaking off. 
The affinities are with F. nemoralis, Wall., from which the thicker an 
elliptic leaves, and larger stipules and receptacles distinguish it.
