" This species is very widely distributed in all the provinces of lower 

 Cochin China and Cambodge. 



" Branches opposite, tetragonal, very long. Leaves petiolate. The 

 flowers are terminal at the summit of a short shoot more or less sur- 

 rounded with bracts. They are solitary in the female plant. The petals 

 are broader and thicker than the sepals and are yellowish. In the 

 female flowers the stamens are completely lacking and the gynaeceum 

 has the form of a pear. The fruit retains the form of the pistil. It con- 

 tains 5 to 10 seeds having the form of a crescent. 



" The tree is 20 to 25 meters high, of pyramidal form. Trunk straight, 

 45 to 50 centimeters thick, covered with a blackish bark, rough exteriorly, 

 filled interiorly with a white juice, present in all parts of the plant and 

 becoming black on exposure to light.
