 1-5 in. long, spreading, many-flowered, with linear-oblong bracts

 funnel-shaped, silky, hardly toothed. Corolla hemispheric in bud. 

 Petals ovate 5. Fruit obconic. Hab. Malacca, Selandor (Holm- 

 berg). Perak, Larut (Kunstler). 



(6) M. Scortechinii King, I.e. 73. 



Small tree, glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong or 

 oblanceolate narrowed to base, acuminate at tip; nerves 4 or 

 5 pairs, 175 to 2-5 in. long, -85 to 1-25 in. wide; petioles -25 to 

 •5 in. long. Cymes corymbose, 1-25 to 1-75 in. long, puberulous. 

 Flowers sessile. Calyx-tube narrow, campanulate, teeth 5. Corolla 

 depressed globose in bud, petals 5, ovate acute. Ovary i-celled.

(7) M. gracilis King, I.e. 74. 



Small tree. Branches angled. Leaves thin coriaceous, lanceolate 

 caudate-acuminate, base narrowed acuminate; nerves very fine, 

 8 to 14 pairs, 2 to 4-5 in. long, 8 to 1-5 in. wide; petioles -2 to 

 •25 in. long. Cymes in threes, much shorter than leaves ; branches 

 short and crowded at the tips, many-flowered with a whorl of

 Calyx campanulate, obscurely 5-toothed. Petals 5. Hab. Perak 

 at 5000 ft. altitude (Wray 1528). 



I have not seen this. King wrote up a sheet of Wray's 128 as Mastixia 

 gracilis in Kew Herbarium, but it is an Araliaceous plant {Dendropanax 

 lancifolia Ridl.). and the description given by him does not lit it at all. 



(8) M. megacarpa Ridl. 



Tree 30 to 40 ft. tall. Leaves thin coriaceous, oblong elliptic 

 cuspidate, base cuneate, pale beneath, glabrous; nerves 5 pairs 

 slightly elevate beneath, 5 in. long, 2 in. wide; petioles 75 in. 

 long. Flowers unknown. Fruit oblong 75 in. long, disc radiated 

 from the short persistent style. Hab. Penang, Pulau Betong 

 reserve (Curtis 919). 



I have only seen a fruiting specimen of this, but it is quite distinct from 

 any other species known to me.
