Var. polystachya, Wall. Cat. 4428 (sp.); leaves beneath glabrous or adpressedly 
pilose on the midrib only. 4. DC. Prodr. viii. 254.—Gurwhal, alt. 5500 ft., Strachey

Gamble. Khasia; alt. 3-4000 ft., Wallich, Clarke.—-This may be specifically separ- 
able, for when the midrib beneath is hairy, the indumentum is widely different from 
that of S. ferruginea. Brandis thinks (For. Fl. 300) this species too near S. spicata; 
the nervation of the leaves differs widely. 
** Embryo straight (in several not known). 
7. S. adenophylla, Wall. Cat, 4427; leaves narrowly lanceolate or 
broadly elliptic obtusely acuminate subentire glabrous, racemes compound 
minutely rusty-pubescent, disc glabrous. A. DC. Prodr. viii. 257. S. iteo- 
phylla, Mig. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 476.

Branchlets glabrous. Leaves 3 by 2 in., or 34 by 1} in., base cuneate or attenuate, 
coriaceous ` nerves distant, not prominent; petiole} in. Racemes 1-2 in., tripartite, 
lax; pedicels 0-4 in.; bracteoles minute, subobsolete. Caly«-tube glabrous or 
minutely rusty; teeth J in., oblong.  Corolla-lobes A in. Stamens 40. Fruit 4 by d 
in. terete, ellipsoid, smooth, tip.obtuse; calyx-teeth closely incurved, inconspicuous, 
— Wallich doubted whether his broad-leaved examples from Singapore (var. virgata, 
Wall.) might not be specifically distinct from his narrow-leaved ones from Penang ; 
but two extreme forms of leaf occur on one branch. 
8. S. celastrifolia, Griff. ms.; leaves elliptic-oblong cuneate at both 
ends crenate glabrous, racemes laxly panicled minutely rusty-villous, disc 
glabrous. 
Maracca; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 3651).—Disrris. Borneo. 
Branchlets glabrous. Leaves 34 by 14-1 in., very shortly obtusely acuminate, 
base cuneate or subobtuse, strongly crenate, thickly chartaceous, when dried dull- 
green above, pale-yellow beneath; nerves not prominent ; petiole} in. Racemes 2-8 
in. branches long lax; pedicels j5 in.; bracteoles subobsolete. Calyx-tube nearly 
glabrous, teeth A in., elliptic, glabrous. Corolla 3-3 in. Stamens 40. Fruit more 
than 4 in., ovoid-ellipsoid, smooth; calyx-rim as wide as the upper part of the fruit, 
teeth erect. Embryo straight. 
9. S. phyllocalyx, Clarke; leaves oblong acuminate serrulate glabrous, 
spikes very short sparingly compound minutely pilose, calyx-teeth green round, 
disc glabrous. Symplocos sp. n. 812, Griff. Itin. Notes, 158. Symplocos sp. n.

A small tree or shrub, almost wholly glabrous. Leaves 4 by 13 in., base cuneate 
or attenuate, coriaceous, shining; midrib elevated above, broad; nerves numerous, 
often 14 on each side, slender but distinct above; petiole 4 in. Spikes often shorter 
than the petioles, bracts glabrous when young; bracteoles $ in., ovate. Calya-teeth 
& in. glabrous or microscopically ciliate on the margins. Corolla 3 in. Stamens 
40-50. Dise shortly hairy; style often sparsely hairy. Fruit nearly 3 by j in., 
ellipsoid, crowned by the unaltered ealyx-teeth. Embryo straight.—Furnishes a dye 
exported into Tibet (Hook. Himal. Journ. ii. 41). 
10. S. theeefolia, Ham. ms.; Don Prodr. 145; leaves oblong acuminate 
obscurely serrulate glabrous, spikes very short compound minutely pubescent,
