Malacca, Griffith; Maingay. — Distrib, Sumatra. 



A tall tree; bran chlets rather slender. Leaves Z-b in., usually obtusely acuminate, 

 rather tliin ; margins hardly undulate ; nerves about 1 5-pairs ; petiole very slender, 2-2^ 

 m. ^ Panwles numerous from the upper axils, branched, peduncles and branches and 

 pedicels excessively slender and spreading. Flowers the smallest of the genus, when 

 first expanded, ^ in. diam., shortly pedicelled. Calyx-lobes orbicidar, glabrous. Petals 

 oblong on expansion, very rapidly enlarging, finally 2^ in. long, linear, obtuse 

 coriaceous, veined, ihmpe f in long, oblong, smooth. Cotyledons oLlong, amygda- 

 l^ia ; radicle lateral, minute. — Kurz refers " to this Astropetiilum 1 of Griffith's 

 .^otulae, which, as it appears to me from Griffith's notes and specimens, is his original 

 ^mtonia, to which he attached the MS. name of S,floribu7ida, but for which I have 

 gopted Kurz's S, Griffithii. The reference to ** Cat. Hort. Begor." is taken from 

 ^urz. I do not find the name in the edition of that work at Kew.
