48 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



length 5 to 8 in., breadth 2*25 to 3 in,, petiolules "25 in. Racemes 

 slightly supra-axillary, solitary, 4 to 5 in. long, pubtrulous. Flmvers 

 scattered, "2 in. long, on slightly shorter thick bracteolate pedicels. 

 Calyx a shallow puberulous cup with 4 obscure sliallow lobes. Petals 4, 

 much longer than the calyx, elliptic, slightly oblique, the apices slightly 

 concave and thickened, the bases truncate, puberulous on both surfaces. 

 Staminal-tuhe slightly shorter than the petals and style, widely cy- 

 lindric, sparsely puberulous, the mouth with 8 broad 3-toothed lobes. 

 Anthers shortly ovate, their apices exserted. Disc slightly longer than 

 the ovary, shortly cylindric, fleshy, glabrous, crenulate. Ovarij hemis- 

 pheric, densely puberulous, tapering into the thick style. Stigma sub- 

 capitate, with an annular disc at its base. Fruit ovoid, deciduously 

 rusty-puberulous with round smooth pits, the pericarp leathery ; length 

 1*5 to 2 in., diam., "9 to 1"35 in. 



S. Andaman and Nicobar Islands ; King's Collectors. 



This bears, especially in its inflorsescence, a resemblance to D. grande, 

 Hiern ; but this is quite glabrous, while that has leaves very pubescent 

 beneath ; the fruit also is different. 



Var. arhorea; 20 foet or more in height, leaves up to 20 in. long, 

 leaflets often much narrowed to the base, longer and with more nerves ; 

 spikes often 12 in. long. 



16. DysoxYLUM MIC ROBOTRYS, King n. sp. A tree 40 to 60 feet high. 

 Leaves 12 to 20 in. long, equally pinnate, their petioles and rachises 

 glabrescent or glabrous ; leaflets thinly coriaceous, opposite, about 3 pairs, 

 elliptic or elliptic-oblong, broadly cuspidate, the base cuneate, both 

 surfaces glabrous; main nerves 9 to 11 pairs, oblique, rather straight, 

 slightly prominent beneath when dry ; length 6 to 10 in., breadth 25 

 to 3*5 in., petiolules "25 to '35 in. Cymes spike-like, solitary, extra- 

 axillary, 4 to 8 in. long, few-flowered. Flowers "6 in. long, usually soli- 

 tary, on pedicels '15 in. long, bracteolate at the base. Calyx a shal- 

 low slightly 4-toothed puberulous rugulose cup. Petals 4, puberulous, 

 oblong, slightly widened at the base ; the apex sub-acute, thickened and 

 incurved. Staminal-tuhe slightly shorter than the petals and style, 

 everywhere pubernlous ; its mouth not expanded but with many broad 

 shallow obscure teeth. Anthers 8, narrowly elliptic, inserted about their 

 own length below the mouth. Disc longer than the ovary, tubular, 

 puberulous ; the mouth thickened, rugulose, pilose. Ovary ovoid-conic, 

 pubescent ; style 4-angled, pubescent in its lower, glabrous in its upper, 

 half ; stiqma discoid, with a narrrow annular band at its base, 4-celle(l, 

 each cell with 2 ovules Fruit pyriform, the top often much flattened, 

 1"5 to 2 in. long, and from 1'25 to 15 in. in diam., sub-glabrous, the 

 pericarp rather thick. Seeds about '76 in. long, plano-convex.
