1. Sarcocephalus hirsdtus, Havil. in Journ. Linn. Soc. XXXIII. 



32. A tree: young branches slender, pubescent, the bark pale. Leaves 

 thickly membranous, oblong-oblanceolate, shortly and abruptly acumin- 

 ate, the base attenuate: upper surface quite glabrous, shining, the lower 

 with shorf pubescence on the nerves and midrib, otherwise minutely 

 scaly ; main-nerves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending, slightly prominent on the 

 lower surface ; length 3 to 5 in. ; breadth 1'5 to 2"25 in. petiole '2 to 

 •3 in., pubescent ; stipules oblong-oblanceolate, obtuse, "3 in. long. 

 Peduncle solitary, terminal, about 1 in. long, with 2 lanceolate small

Malacca : Bidley 3214. — Distrib. Borneo. 

 The Malacca specimens described above have their leaves more attenuate at the 

 base and rather more hairy beneath tlian the Bornean type (Herb. Hav. 3406) on 

 which Ilaviland founded the species. But in other respects they agree.
