and sharply apiculate; lateral nerves 6 or 7 on each side of the 

 midrib, slender, distinct, curved-anastomosing; petioles about 

 4 mm long. Flowers axillary, all 6-merous, the upper ones mostly 

 pistillate, the lower mostly staminate, sometimes both found in 

 the same axil. Male flowers pedicellate, about 4.5 mm in dia- 

 meter, the pedicels slender, 4 to 5 mm long. Outer three perianth 

 segments ovate, recurved, about 3 mm long, the inner three 

 similar, but considerably narrower, rather coriaceous. Anthers 

 5, united into a globose mass about 1 mm in diameter. Pistillate 

 flowers numerous, crowded in definite peduncled heads, the pe- 

 duncles 3 to 4 mm long, flowers 3 or 4 to 10 in a head, their pedi- 

 cels 1 to 2 mm long, each head subtended by numerous, oblong, 

 acuminate, 1 mm long bracts. Perianth segments 6, oblong- 

 ovate, about 2.5 mm long, the inner three somewhat narrower 

 than the outer ones. Ovary very densely pubescent, 5-celled, the 

 column densely pubescent, stout, cylindric, not constricted at 

 the base, slightly narrower than the ovary, densely pubescent, 

 the stigmatic portions usually 5, glabrous, the column about 

 four times as long as the ovary.

A very characteristic species, easily recognized by its peduncled heads 

 of pistillate flowers, its 6-merous flowers, densely pubescent ovary and 

 style, the latter cylindric, stout, about four times as long as the ovary. 

 In aspect it somewhat resembles the Philippine Glochidion trichogynum 

 Muell.-Arg., but is not closely allied to that species, and belongs in an 

 entirely different section of the genus.

This species has been previously reported from Pegu to Tenasserim, 

 the Malay Peninsula, and Singapore. The Bornean specimen cited above 

 presents only male flowers, and agrees closely with Singapore specimens 

 collected by Ridley.

The specimen is identical in all respects with the Celebes plant collected 

 at Baleh Anjen by Teysmann, mentioned by J. J. S. Smith, 1. c. 168, as 

 probably representing an abnormal form of Glochidion kollmannianum. 

 The inflorescences on both are somewhat cymose, although some
