 petioles -25 in. long. Racemes few-flowered, i in. long; pedicel 

 •25 in. long. Sepals 4, linear-oblong obtuse, silky. Petals 4, oblong 

 truncate, shortly laciniate, little longer than sepals silky. Stamens 

 10 ; anthers glabrous. Ovary short conic, sil%. Torus glabrous.

King's punctatus is based on Wray's plant, which is not glabrous, but 

 minutely appressed silky on both sides ; young leaves from other localities 

 are often more or less hairy silky.

Dubious Species 



(i) E. macrocarpa Ridl. 



Tree. Leaves ovate cuspidate, crenate, glabrous ; nerves 9 

 pairs, prominent beneath, 7 jn. long, 3-5 in. wide; petioles 3 in. 

 long. Fruit ovoid, globular, 2 in. through; pericarp woody, 

 i-celled, i-seeded. Perak, on Gunong Keledang (Ridley). I was 

 only able to get fruiting specimens of this plant, remarkable for 

 having fruit very greatly larger than any other species. It appears, 

 however, to be certainly an Elaocarpus.

 cup-shaped, 5-lobed, coriaceous, hairy inside, corolla of numerous 

 setaceous bifid or trifid petals. Stamens very numerous 30 to 40 ; 

 filaments short; anthers basifixed. Ovary 4- to 6-celled; ovules 

 I in a cell ; style fihform. Stigma clubbed. Fruit a woody ovoid 

 or globose; capsule locuhcidaUy dehiscing; pericarp very thick. 

 Seeds i or 2, globose or oblong. Genus i, Malayan, 2 or 3 species.
