 bro-wn when dry and rather shining; nerves 12-15 pairs slender, arched; petiole

 many-flo-vrered. Flowers | in. diam. (4-o-merous, white, disagreeably-scented, 

 Griffith). Sepals orbicular. Petals elliptic, obtuse. Filaments subulate, "white. Drupe 

 I in. diam., orbicular, compressed with a sharp edge. — Blume's B. arborescens, and 

 perhaps B. longifolia, are hardly distinct from this, as is Miquel's petiolaris and 

 bancana. I should refer hither also the glabrous panicled Australian plant placed 

 under angustifol ia^ Roxb., in the Flora Australiensis.

A small tree. Leaves 4-7 by 2-2| m., thinly coriaceous, tips very acute, base 

 much narrowed, reticulate on both surfaces, quite sessile in Penang specimens, with 

 Blender petioles sometimes 1| in. in Malacca and Tenasserim ones, bright brown 

 when dry; nerves about 15 pairs, slender. Pa7ii€les chiefLy axillary, branches divari- 

 cating. Flowers ^ in. diam. Sepals small, orbicular. Petals oblong. Filaments 

 compressed. Drupe as in B. lucida. — I think there is no doubt of Blume's B. sessili' 

 folia being a sessile-leaved form of this, which is far more frequently a petioled plant, 

 and therefore better fitted to TurczaninofTs name than to Blume's, though against the 

 laws of priority. ;-.

A tree. Leaves 4-6 by Ig-lf in., reticulate and shining on both surfaces, margin 

 waved, base acute but not contracted into the petiole; nerves 16-20 pairs, slender 

 arched ; petiole |-} in., stout. Panicles ehorter than the leaves, numerous, stout, 

 axillary and terminal. Flowers | in. diam., crowded on the short stout lateral 

 hranches. Sepals rounded, Petais broadly oblong. Filaments subulate. Fruit 

 unknown, — ^Wallich'a 2?,? acuminata, from Tavoy (Cat. 981), is very similar to this; 

 it has fruit onlv, and the nervation is a little different.
