Pierre named this after Sir Dietrich Brandis. Safford, unfortunately, in 

 putting it into the genus Canangium, altered Brandisianum into the meaning- 

 less Brandesanum.

Large tree with thick stem, half-way up the hill and about 5 ft. 

 tall and as thick as the thumb at the top, glabrous, bark pale.

 nate, base cuneate oblique, glabrous; nerves 10 to 12 pairs, very 

 slender and faint, midrib channelled and elevate beneath; 3-5 to 

 4-5 in. long, I to 3 in. wide; petioles -2 in. long, thick. Flowers 

 solitary axillary on short -2 in. long peduncles. Sepals small ovate 

 obtuse connate at base. Petals, outer valvate coriaceous broad 

 ovate pubescent narrowed at base -4 in. long; inner rather nar- 

 rower, more oblong. Anthers short broad cuneate, cells dorsal, 

 appendages broad truncate. Style 0. Ovules numerous in 2 rows. 

 Disc hairy. Fruit fusiform i-seeded, -25 in. long, pedicel very short. 

 Hab. Penang Hill (Maingay). 



I have failed to find this plant on Penang Hill, nor has any other collector 

 met with it. I hardly think it can be a Cananga, perhaps nearer Cyathocalyx.
