30 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Pemnsiola. 



An tinbranclied tree 40 feet hig^h. Leaves 9 to 10 feet long ; the rachises 

 somewhat compressed, puberulous. Leaflets coriaceous, opposite, oblong, 

 acute, the base rounded and slightly oblique : upper surface rugulose, 

 shining, glabrous except the tomentose midrib and main nerves ; lower 

 gurface reticulate-areolate tawny-pubesceut ; main nerves 15 to 30 pairs, 

 spreading and little curved ; length 9 to 18 in., breadth 25 to 4*5 in. ; 

 pefciolule '3 iu., stout. Panicles spike-like, 3 feet or more in length ; 

 the branches distant, sub-sessile, glomeriform, each crowded with 20 to 

 aO elongate obovate shortly pedicellate flowers 1"25 to 1'5 in. long. 

 Calyx "2 in. long, about one-seventh of the length of the petals, cupular, 

 entire or with 3 or 4 rudimentary teeth, truncate, paberulous. Petals 5, 

 linear-spathulate, concave at the apex, adpressed-sericeous outside, gla. 

 brous inside. Staminal-tube slightly adherent to and shorter than the 

 petals, cylindric, slightly wider at the minutely 10-toothed mouth ; vil' 

 lous in the lower half inside, otherwise glabrous ; anthers 10, short, 

 linear, sub-included. Ovary small, cylindric, 5-gfooved, surround- 

 ed by a small annular disc. Style cylindric, sparsely pubescent, slightly 

 longer than the staminal-tube, cylindi'ic. Fruit sub-globular, the apex 

 depressed, the sides vertically grooved, rusty-tomentose, 2'5 in. in 

 diam. Seeds 3 to 5, 1*76 in. long. 



Penang: Curtis No. 1519, 



A remarkable species with very long pendulous leaves, 



7. Chisocheton glombratus, Hierniu Hook, fil, Fl. Bl. Ind. I, 551. 

 A tree 40 to 70 feet high ; young shoots deciduously tomentose, the 

 bark dark when dry. Leaves 12 to 18 in., the petiole and rachises pube- 

 scent ; leaflets 2 or 3, rarely 4 pairs, thinly coriaceous, opposite, elliptio 

 to elliptic-oblong, very shortly acuminate, the base rounded, unequal- 

 eided ; main nerves 9 to II pairs, spreading, prominent beneath ; upper sur- 

 face minutely punctate when dry, glabrous except the pubescent nervea 

 and tomentose midrib ; lower surface softly pubescent, the midrib and 

 nerves tomentose ; length 4 to 6'5 in., breadth J-8 to 25 , petiolule *I to 

 •15 in. Panicles solitary, drooping, supra-axillary, as long as the leaves ; 

 the lateral branches rather numerous, horizontal, pedunculate, each bear- 

 ing several dense many-flowered small cymes, everywhere tomentose. 

 Flowers '25 in. long, sub-sessile, minutely bracteolate. Galyx short, tu- 

 bular, puberulous outside, sub-entire or irregularly toothed, much shorter 

 than the corolla. Petals 4, erect, elliptic, slightly concave, glabrescent, 

 Staminal-tube much shorter than the petals and coherent with them, 

 rather wide, glabrescent, the mouth with 6 to 8 long linear teeth. Anthers 

 linear, elongate, much exserted. Ovary ovoid, tapering into the cylindric 

 style, and like it tomentose. Stigma cylindric, rather long, glabrous. 

 Fruit (immature) sub-globular, on thick slightly curved pedicels,
