bus, patulis vel subpatulis. Inflorescentiis caulinis, fasciculatis, 

 depauperato-cymosis, 2 ad 3 cm longis, pedunculatis, dense hir- 

 sutis atque setis numerosis tenuibus patulis instructis; sepalis

A shrub or small tree, the cauline inflorescences, petioles, 

 and midrib, nerves, and reticulations on the lower surface of the 

 leaves subferruginous-hirsute or pubescent and with numerous, 

 slender, usually spreading, setae. Leaves chartaceous, brownish- 

 olivaceous or olivaceous, somewhat shining, the lower surface 

 very slightly paler than the upper, oblong, up to 43 cm long 

 and 15 cm wide, rather slenderly acuminate, base narrowed, 

 rounded, margins spinulose, the slender curved setae terminating 

 the short teeth, the upper surface smooth and glabrous ; lateral 

 nerves about 14 on each side of the midrib, prominent beneath, 

 curved, anastomosing, the reticulations distinct; petioles 3 to 

 3.5 cm long, their slender setae up to 5 mm in length. Cymes 

 fascicled on the trunk, from densely setose tubercles, the indi- 

 vidual cymes 2 to 3 cm long, few-flowered, all parts densely 

 subferruginous-setose and hirsute, the pedicels 1 to 1.4 cm long, 

 the bracts few, narrowly lanceolate, densely setose, about 2 mm 

 long. Sepals about 5 mm long, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 

 acute or subacute, the outer three about 2 mm wide, setose, the 

 inner ones narrower, the innermost glabrous or nearly so. Ovary 

 glabrous. Styles united for the lower 1.5 mm, the arms 3, about 

 2 mm long.

This species is not closely allied to any previously described Bornean 

 form, and is well characterized by its large leaves, which are glabrous 

 above and setose and pubescent on the midrib, nerves, and reticulations 

 beneath; and by its cauline, fascicled, ferruginous-hirsute and setose cymes.
