Small tree, 12 to 30 ft. tall, 3 in. through. Leaves resemb- 

 ling those of P. Beccarli, lanceolate acuminate acute, base 

 cuneate, glabrous, 6 in. long, 1-75 in. wide; nerves prominent 

 beneath, 7 pairs, inarching within the margin ; petioles -i in. long. 

 Flowers solitary or several together, pendulous from branches, 

 yellow or orange; pedicels very slender, 1-50 in. long. Sepals 

 ovate-lanceolate, acute, -i in. long, pubescent. Petals narrow 

 linear acute, base slightly wider, pubescent outside. Stamens, 

 appendages ovate. Carpels ellipsoid -4 in. long, pubescent ; stalks 

 •5 in. long. Hab. Woods in the lowlands. Not rare. Singapore

Tree. Branchlets pubescent. Leaves coriaceous elliptic- 

 oblong or oblong-lanceolate-acuminate, base blunt, glabrous above, 

 beneath paler, and midrib puberulous, 6 to g in. long, 2-5 to 3-5 in. 

 wide ; petioles -2 in. long, pubescent. Flowers in tufts on old 

 wood; pedicels -25 in long, pubescent. Sepals ovate acute, -2 in. 

 long. Petals linear blunt, bases of inner ones concave, -5 to -75 in. 

 long, silky outside. Torus flat-topped, glabrous. Ovules 2, 

 superposed. Hab. Malacca (Maingay). 



The flowers are in a very young state, with very short pedicels. The 

 fohage is exactly like that of P. caidiflora, and I suspect that it is merely 

 a state of this.
