Penane; at Muka Head, Curtis.—DISTBRIE. Java. 
This accords so well in habit and foliage with Blume's figure and description of 
E. serrata, that I would have referred it without doubt to that plant, but that he 
describes the style as short and thick, whereas, as far as I can make out, it is rather 
long and hairy in the Penang plant. It is possibly a state of the following, but I 
have seen no male fl, 
6. E. nudiflora, Hook. f. Ic. Plant. ined. ; branchlets petioles and 
leaves beneath glandular, leaflets 2-6 pairs 1-13 in. subsessile coriaceous 
elliptic-oblong or cuneate-obovate obtuse often oblique entire or subcrenate, 
bract of male fl. laciniate with slender antheriferous arms, anthers ellipsoid, 
fruiting raceme 4-6 in., style long hairy. 
PENANG ; on Government Hill, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1510). 
A very large tree (Maingay). Leaves 3-5 in., nerves 6-8 pairs, strong beneath. 
Fruiting racemes like those of E. spicata, but nuts smaller. This very much re- 
sembles Blume's figure and description of E. rigida, but he describes the bract of the 
male fl. as thick and the anther as ovate-cordate. 
OrDER CXXXVIII. MYRICACEZ. 
Glandular and aromatic trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate ; stipules 0. 
owers unisexual, in cylindric bracteate catkin-like spikes; male spikes 
solitary fascicled or panicled, and with sometimes fem. fl. at the top; fem. 
spikes axillary, bracts 14-fld. Mazz rr. Stamens 3-6, rarely more, on a 
torus adnate to the bract, filaments short free or connate, anthers erect, 
2-celled. Fem. ri. A 2-4-bracteolate sessile 1-celled ovary ; style 2-fid, 
stigmatose inwardly; ovule 1, erect, orthotropous. Drupe ovoid or globose, 
resinous succulent or waxy, endocarp hard. Seed erect, testa mem- 
branous, albumen 0; embryo straight, cotyledons plano-convex, radicle 
Short superior.—Genus 1; about 35, temperate and tropical (not Aus- 
tralasian).
