Tree (woody climber fide Curtis, parasite fide Kunstler). Leaves 

 lanceolate acuminate, thinly coriaceous, base narrowed, 4 in. long, 

 2 in. wide ; nerves sub-horizontal, 12 pairs, reticulations beneath 

 fine ; petioles "5 in. long with 2 glands at top. Racemes in axillary 

 and terminal panicles, 4 in. long, 3 in. wide, pubescent. Flowers 

 small, "2 in. wide. Calyx glabrous with villous glands inside.

The Herbarium specimens seem quite indistinguishable from the Indian 

 plant, but both Curtis and Kunstler affirm it is not a big tree, as in India, 

 but a climber. Fruit unknown. 



var. Malayana Clarke, in Hook. fil. F.B.I, ii. 447. 



Tree 60 to 80 ft. tall. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic to ovate 

 lanceolate, sub-acute, base rounded ; nerves about 12 pairs, slightly 

 elevate, 4 in. long, 2*5 in. wide, minutely reticulate beneath; 

 petioles "75 in. long. Spikes panicled, axillary, at the ends of 

 branches, hairy, 3 in. long. Flowers sessile "2 in. across. Ovary 

 glabrous. Calyx pubescent outside, villous inside. Drupe lanceo- 

 late, narrowed to tip, obscurely 5-ridged, i in. long. Hab. Malacca, 

 Mt. Ophir (Griffith, Maingay). Pahang, Binchal Residency, Kwala 

 Lipis (Foxworthy). Native name : Belawan. 



This has more coriaceous elliptic leaves round-based, shorter and more 

 hairy panicles. It is probably specifically distinct from T. citrina. 



(2) T. belerica Roxb. Fl. Ind. h. 431 ; King, I.e. 329. var. 

 laurinoides Miq. 



Tall tree. Leaves clustered at the branch-ends, coriaceous 

 dotted, obovate or elliptic, tip rounded, base cuneate ; nerves 6 to 8 

 pairs, prominent, 4*5 to 8 in. long, 3'5 to 475 in. wide; petioles 

 175 to 4 in. long. Spikes slender, 3 to 4 in. long, pubescent. 

 Flowers "25 in. across. Calyx-tube short, tomentose, lobes broad, 

 mouth densely villous. Stamens long-exsert. Drupe ovoid, densely 

 minutely tomentose, obscurely 5-angled, when dry i in. long, 

 75 in. wide. Hab. Forests. Selangor, Kwala Lumpur; Batu 

 Road (Foxworthy). Perak (Scortechini and Kunstler). Distrih. 

 India and Malay islands. The species here is the Javanese form 

 laurinoides, somewhat different from the Indian form, especially 

 in the form of the fruit, and perhaps should be kept specifically 

 distinct. Native name : Jilawei. 



(3) T. foetidissima Griff. Notulce iv. 685 ; King, I.e. 331. 



A big tree. Leaves at the branch ends, coriaceous obovate 

 blunt or shortly cuspidate, glabrous except the midrib and 8 pairs 

 of nerves, sometimes sparsely puberulous, 5 to 6'5 in. long, 2*25 to
