leaves, much crowded at tlie points of the branches. Flowei's lb in 

 long: pedicels slender, three times as long. Oalyx-tube tomentose ex- 

 ternally, sparsely pubescent within ; staminal tuheleHB than half its length. 

 Female calyx rather longer than the male, otherwise the same : 

 stamens : ovaries 6, obliquely ovoid, glabrous, each with a pubescent 

 conic style crowned by a small hooked stigma. Ripe frtiit compressed- 

 ovoid, 125 to J "5 in. long, and 1 to 116 in. in diam., glabrous, the 

 wing falcate, 2 in. long and "5 in. broad, striate.

In its leaves this much resembles T. Javanica, Bl, (Rumphia iii. t. 

 127, tig. 1) ; but the leaves of Blume's plant are smaller and have more 

 wavy edges. The flowers, however, of the two differ much in size, those 

 of this being twice as large as the flowers of T. Javanica. 



2. T, CuRTisii, King, n. sp. A tree 20 to 40 feet high ; young 

 branches, petioles, petiolules and under surfaces of leaves densely covered 

 with rusty stellate, non-deciduous tomentuin. Leaves digitately 5 or 

 6-foliolate, the lower smaller, obovate, entire, wavy, apex retuse, base 

 acute ; upper surface minutely areolate, glabrous except the stellate- 

 tomentose midrib and main nerves ; under surface, and especially the 

 midrib, stellate-tomentose : main nerves 9 or 10 pairs, spreading, pro- 

 minent beneath : length of the middle leaflet 3'5 to 4-5 in., of the lower 

 1-5 to 25 in. ; breadth of the middle 2-25 to 25 in., of the lower '8 to 

 1"5 in., petiolules "5 to -75 in., petioles 2 to 2-5 in. Inflorescence in 

 solitary, axillary, cymose racemes or few-flowered panicles, more than 

 half as long as the leaves. Bipe fruit glabrous, compressed-ovoid, 1 in. 

 long and "8 in. broad ; wing narrowly falcate, 125 in. long and -25 in 

 broad, striate. 



Penang at 2000 feet: Curtis No. 1427. 



This is known only by Curtis's scanty specimens which are in fruit 

 only. Its flowers are unknown. In leaves it closely approaches T, 

 Peralcensis, but the tomentum is stellate and persistent ; whereas in T. 

 Ferakensis, the hairs are simple and deciduous. The leaflets of this 

 are also smaller, fewer-nerved, more decidedly obovate, less elliptic than 

 in T. Ferakensis, and they are mucronate rather than acuminate. 



3. T. BiMPLiciFOLiA, Mast, in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. i, 362. A 

 tree, young brandies pale, sub-glabrous, striate. Leaves simple, coria- 

 ceous, elliptic or obovate-elliptic, apex truncate or emarginate, shortly 

 mucronate, entire, rather suddenly narrowed at the base or rounded • 

 upper surface glabrous, shining ; lower dull, rusty, minutely puberulous
