EASTERN COAST OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 347 
ANTIDESMA ALATUM, Hook. f. 
А small tree, common in jungles in many parts of the Peninsula. Pulau Tawar woods. 
It is called “ Sakellet" in Pahang. 
А. LEUCOCLADON, Hook. f. 
Pulau Manis. 
А. SALICIFOLIA, Miq. 
A. small, much-branched tree, with pendulous branches. Common on rocks and banks 
overhanging the rivers Tahan, Tembeling, and Pahang. 
This plant differs from that described by Miquel in having the fruit ovate-oblong, and 
not * subobliquely ovoid,” and in this agrees with a plant from the Plus River in Perak, 
described in the ‘Flora of British India’ under the name of A. salicifolia, Miq. ? 
But that plant, which I have not seen, is said to have perfectly glabrous midribs and 
petioles, whereas those in the Pahang plant are pubescent. Neither Miquel nor Sir 
Joseph Hooker saw the flowers, so that I will describe the Pahang plant entirely :— 
Arbor parva multi-ramosa, ramis pendulis, juvenibus pubescentibus, obseure quadrangu- 
laribus. Folia lanceolata acuminata, circiter 4 pollices longa, % pollicem lata, glabra, 
costa utriusque paginæ pubescente, petiolis brevibus, basi incrassatis, pubescentibus, 
stipulz lanceolate acuminate, pubescentes. Racemi singuli aut bini ad apices 
ramorum terminales. Masculi breves, circiter ?-pollicares, breviter pedunculati, 
Flores minimi, congesti, pedicellis brevissimis, crassis. Bracteæ ovate. Calyx 
poculiformis, lobis 4 brevibus ovatis. Stamina 4, filamentis brevibus, crassis, loculis 
anthers rotundatis, basi divergentibus, connectivo ferme reniformi, incrassato. 
Pistilli rudimentum processus parvus ellipticus. Racemi feminei 2-pollicares vel 
ultra. Flores copiosi, congesti, pedicellis quam in masculo longioribus. Bracteæ 
lanceolate: acuminate acutee, pedicellis zequales. Sepala 4, ovata acuta. Pistillum 
ampullaceum, stigmatibus brevibus recurvis acutis 4. Пгпра parva, viridis, levis, 
_ ovata oblonga, vix ultra $ pollicem longa. 
The fruit is said by the natives to be black when ripe and then eatable.
