This is very near to the two former, differing only in the shape and size of the 

 leaves, their petiole and nervation, I cannot doubt but that one of these three 

 is a form of the P. sumatranum, Bth, (Pethocarya, Jack). ** 



** Leaves 2-glandular at the base, fflah^aus and shining wi both surface$,^^ 

 Stamens 20-30.

 lanceolate caudate-acuminate. P. multiflorum, Miq. FL Ind, Bat, i. part u

Branches stout, with black bark. Leaves 5-6 in., narrowed into the short petiole; 

 ner\-es much arched. Panicles shortly peduncled, closely corymbose, with stoui 

 branches and pedicels ; bracts very deciduous. Flower ^ in. diam. Calyx hoary , 

 tube obconic, gibbous, glabrous within except near the ovary; lobes orbicular, 

 linear. Petals obovate-orbicular, glabrous, equalling the calyx-lobes. Stamens 

 20-30 ; filaments united above the base into a coriaceous short tube which is open 

 and toothed opposite the ovary. Ovary tomentose ; style short, curved ; ®^|^* 

 capitate. Drupe 1-1^ in. long, cylindric-obovoid or subclavate, hoary, 2-ceU^,

 hoary calyx; and from the Philippine Island P. salicifoNitm, Benth. {Grymanmr 

 Presl), in the foliage. -
