Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 193 



4 Urophtllum ferrugineum, King and Gamble n. sp. A slender 

 small tree. Young stems softy, minutely, and rather sparsely rusty- 

 tomentose. Leaves membranous, narrowly oblong-lanceolate, caudate- 

 acuminate, the base slightly narrowed or rounded; upper surface 

 glabrous, the midrib distinct, depressed, the main-nerves faint when 

 dry ; lower paler, sparsely rusty- sericeous between the nerves ; the 

 main-nerves themselves about 7 pairs, curved, ascending, distinct and, 

 like the midrib, densely rusty-sericeous ; length 2"5 to 3"5 in. ; breadth 

 •5 to 1 in. ; petioles '15 to '4 in., tomentose ; stipules more than twice 

 as long as the petioles, narrowly oblong-lanceolate, rusty-sericeous. 

 Cymes not much exceeding the petioles, almost sessile, few-flowered, 

 with a few small lanceolate bracts at their bases. Flowers on pubescent 

 pedicels equal to or longer than themselves. Oalyx shortly campanulate, 

 with 5 broad short pointed teeth, almost glabrous. Corolla white, 

 glabrous, larger than the calyx, the tube shortly cylindric ; the teeth 

 5, rather large, triangular, acute. Fruit depressed globular, truncate at 

 the apex and bearing the small calyx-teeth, glabrous, "2 in. in diam.

A species near U. streptopodium, Wall., bat readily distinguished by its soft silky 

 hair. This is closely allied to a Bornean species collected by Beccari, P.B. 1840, and 

 by Ridley, 2781, which has however longer pedicelled flowers and hairy fruit. 



6. Urophtllum streptopodium, Wall. Cat. 8317; Hook. fil. Fl. Br. 

 Ind. III. 99. A shrub or small tree ; young branches less than half as 

 thick as a goose-quill, yellowish-brown, at first minutely adpressed- 

 pubescent, ultimately often glabrous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic- 

 oblong to oblanceolate, shortly acuminate, much narrowed from near 

 tJie middle to the base, both surfaces greenish-yellow to pale olivaceous- 

 brown when dry, the upper glabrous ; the lower paler, transversely 

 reticulate, minutely scaly, glabrous, or finely pubescent on the midrib 

 and 5 to 8 pairs of curved, ascending main-nerves and also sometimes on 

 the transverse veins ; length 2*5 to 6 in. ; breadth "8 to 2 in. ; petioles 

 ■25 to "5 in., adpressed-pubescent or glabrous. Stipules narrowly oblong- 

 lanceolate, acute or blunt, sparsely adpressed-pubescent or sub-glabrous, 

 slightly longer (some twice as long) as the petioles. Cymes axillary, 

 from as long to twice as long as the petioles, many-flowered dense and 

 sessile, or umbellate on short bracteolate peduncles and few-flowered. 

 Flowers about '15 in. long, on pubescent pedicels lengthening in fruit to 

 •1 to 2 in. Calyx sub-glabrous, cupular-campanulate, the mouth with 5 

 (occasionally 6) small, more or less acute triangular lobes. Corolla one 

 and a half to nearly three times as long as the calyx, campanulate, with 

 5 deep oblong blunt, sub-erect or reflexed lobes, often hairy on the
